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.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
