The Pittsburgh Steelers compete in the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) of the National Football League (NFL). And they play at Heinz Field.
As the oldest franchise in the AFC, the Pittsburgh Steelers were founded in 1933. Before the American Football League (AFL) merged with with the NFL, the Steelers had a lousy record. In fact, they never won a championship.
After the merger of the AFL and the NFL, however, the Steelers turned into a powerhouse. In fact, they have won six Super Bowls. That is more than any other American football team.
According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, there are fully 1,500 sports bars in the United States “friendly” to Pittsburgh Steelers fans. In fact, there is at least one Pittsburgh Steelers bar in all 50 states!
In addition, there are even Pittsburgh Steelers bars overseas. For example, there are Pittsburgh Steelers sports bars in Thailand, Costa Rica, and Peru.
In fact, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a truly national football fan base. Or make that INTERNATIONAL!!!
