The Steelers collectively and individually have contributed to the championship pedigree of the NFL. Will the city of Pittsburgh itself become part of that legacy as well?
What better time than the celebration of the Independence Day holiday for the Steelers to reveal that they will attempt to bid for Pittsburgh to host a Super Bowl. The easy and reasonable response would be to dismiss this as a quixotic undertaking. Not enough stadium capacity. Not enough amenities such as hotel rooms, recreational opportunities and other infrastructure concerns. But who would have bet in favor of thirteen colonies along the eastern seaboard of this continent rebelling against and prevailing over the most powerful empire in the world at that time?
