Back to the Pittsburgh Steelers Newsfeed

That time a road trip to Three Rivers Stadium became a journey for the ages

Last week, Jeff Hartman posted an article asking for people’s favorite memories of Three Rivers Stadium, which was imploded twenty years ago. I began a response to that inquiry in the comments section but, as I wrote, I realized there was plenty of material for an article of its own. Let me take you back to January of 1996, then, on the eve of one of the most epic snowstorms to hit the eastern United States in decades, as five friends from South Jersey piled into a battered Ford Explorer and made the six hour drive to Pittsburgh to watch the Steelers host the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs.
