Is it just my imagination or are there a lot of empty seats at that Steelers game?
The game was listed as a sellout. As of yesterday, you could still find some tickets for sale through consolidators or current ticket holders with prices going up to over $4000 per ticket.
It appeared that some short hitters that had tickets decided not to show up because of the cold. I can tell you that a group of my family members who still live in Pittsburgh were there. I watched the game in my family room in front of the wood stove with my Steelers sweatshirt on, my Terrible Towel, and an Iron City in my hand.
Go Stillers . . . How many yins got?

Re: Playoffs, Week 1
I only offered a possible explanation about the empty seats.
Anyway, we're down to 8 teams. Who ya got next week?
Packers over Dallas (mainly because I can never root for the Cowboys. I just can't do it)
Steelers over the Chiefs (my heart makes this pick, not necessarily my brain)
I see the Seahawks and Falcons as a tossup. I'll take the Falcons only because their home.
Patriots over the Texans (I've learned a long time ago .. never pick against the Pats even though I'd like to)

Re: Playoffs, Week 1
You didn't list another reason for the empty seats in Heinz stadium--the air temperature was 12 and only the die-hard fans would sit in those seats.

Re: Playoffs, Week 1

Texans. Patriots
Falcons. Seahawks
Packers. Cowboys
