For years, besides Atlanta, who sucked, and Miami, who aren't even considered Southern, we weren't located anywhere near an NFL team. The Steelers were long ago one of the favorite teams in town.

And you're inferring that by what? The part where I clearly stated, "I know that Steelers fans are legendary for showing up in other cities"?
Hmmmm....
And if you're using Jaguars and Bengals fans as your barometer, well, 'nuff said.
Still I agree that you have a point, that this year in particular, Steelers fans have been turning up the heat in opposing stadiums.

The Steelers are one of those teams, like the Cowboys, who had so much success over the years that they have developed fan bases across the country.
The effect is compounded by the fact that the Steelers are really good this year, making their fans even more likely to come out of the woodwork.
Also, we are in a recession, people have lost their jobs, and Christmas is upon us.
