Pens @ PNC Park

I think that Pittsburgh has always leaned more towards it’s football than anything else. Now that the Pens have won the cup again, there will be an upswing of hockey fans, but I think basically baseball crashed when that strike happened years ago. Yeah the Pirates suck anymore, but truth be told the Steelers didn’t recover a Super Bowl from 1979 until 2005. Yet the fans remained there. The Pens hadn’t had the Stanley Cup since 1992. The fans held out. When you talk about the Cubs and the Yankees, they both have heavily loyal fans…they are baseball towns. Pittsburgh is a football town. The focus is just there. I would love to see the Pirates make something of themselves and get another World Series title, but (and this is strictly my opinion) baseball just isn’t as exciting as football or hockey. They have much more physical action.

pittsburgh wasnt always a football town. pittsburgh was a baseball town until the steelers finally won. the whole country was a baseball country. the cubs and yanks also are in LARGE cities…its a numbers and percentages game.

basketball? haha…the NBA is struggling…pittsburgh would never go for hoops. The interest is just no there to sustain a team. arena football would do better than the NBA.
