A reason NOT to be like the Steelers

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.

      Panthers decision to pass on Walker

      The preference for smallish NTs was bizarre to me. I mean, you're already looking for a bit of a unicorn with a NT anyway trying to find a guy who can consistently hold his ground against double teams. Now you want to find a smaller, quicker guy who can do it? Yeah, good luck with that...

      Yep. I had 2 shoulder surgeries (same shoulder) in college. What you say is true because the joint is a ball-in-socket joint and not like a knee, which is a hinge joint.  Another reason (this from my orthopedic surgeon) it is more difficult to overcome is because people want and need to walk, so they are constantly rehabbing the knee.  You can protect the shoulder and avoid using it.  And you can play with a banged up shoulder because it does not reduce your game speed much.  As long as I kept my arm in tight (close to my rib cage) I was fine--but when I extended my arm, I felt vulnerable and it was weaker, it seemed. A shoulder issue was common with LBs.  I don't recall seeing a LB in the dressing room without a surgical scar on is shoulder.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      F- pick. Taking a hurt RB is the dumbest thing a team starved for tallent could have done in the 2nd. As for planning for 2025, they could have just waited since he brought nothing to 2024. That entire argument that they were playing the long game is like such a copout, just admit it was busted from every angle. They bet poorly and lost. It was a dumb pick and a complete waste of a chance to pick up a meaningful player this team still desperately needs. Picks like that is why this team is picking top 10 ever y year.
