Steelers: Season-ticket payments due as normal

The Steelers expect fans to make season-ticket payments for the 2011 season, even though it could be wiped out by the NFL lockout.

In a letter to season-ticket holders, team president Art Rooney II said "payments are due, consistent with past practices."

Ticket payments are due in full by May 2.

"If games are lost to a work stoppage, we will provide refunds for any games cancelled," Rooney said in the letter.

Only the Giants are allowing fans to hold off on payments. The Panthers have implemented a 10% now, 90% later plan. Both are good options, especially in a bad economy.

But the Steelers? "Pay up, now" :nonod:

Dunno, I see it as PSL owners got fuged last year and this year. I'm surprised JR had the balls to ask for anything, but I guess 10% isn't too bad.

The Steelers went to the super bowl, and have over and over again, and their fans were not fuged out of the last two years of football, one of which a blatant act by the owner. If I were a fan I wouldn't find it too hard to comply with an obviously trustworthy FO.

If this FO could be as always be as competitive as the Steelers I wouldn't mind ponying up the cash. You just can't compare the organizations even as much as JR would like you to think you could.

the steelers could care less if you dont pay for your season tickets......they can put 100 people in your seat in a hour who would love to pay lockout or not

Steeler fans would prioritize putting their newborn child on the season ticket waiting list over starting a college fund. Still a shady move, but they can get away with it.

Yep. I have a friend who is 38 years old. She was put on the waiting list the day she was born. She is nowhere near the top of the list.

Say what you want about Steeler fans.....they are dedicated and passionate about their team.

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      Apparently CSW lost his starting job to Thornton last year. If he can stay healthy I bet Thornton keeps that NB position.

      I member him staying after practices with only to see he was wearing heavy weight vest, one of his trademarks. He also put in 10 years, right? People forget he was the ST stud that called the snap and made sure everyone lined up right. He was one of the "glue" guys that bought his "lunch pail" to work.... He was a willing solider, all teams need a couple of them. He blocked for sooo many panthers RBs- Davis, lane, Williams, foster, goings and when there was huge injuries he took over the starter duties and had a couple 100 yard games. If you followed hoover, he took the perfect RB path cause he was just a slow heavy one himself....

      Walker likely depends on a couple of things. What exactly did Dan promise him, to start with.  How much other interest he actually had for a starter job at high pay is another question. It isn’t outside the realm of possibility that he could stay on as a swing tackle waiting to take Moton’s spot when it opens.    I can’t get myself to consider Icky as a viable anything until we see him back on the field.     Hunt seems to be a team player and good guy but I don’t think he is worth what he is being paid. I have him tentatively earmarked for cap causality in the near future.
