We learned that before Cardinals Stadium (aka Jobbing.com Stadium) was built, the Screen at heinz field was the largest int he world.

It was a bit embarrassing, but moments after this photo, Larry and I got down on our hands and knees and looked for errant hairs on the floor. Picture three

We spent a considerable amount of time at this Steelers dive we found between our hotel and the city.

You want to go home "BUTYA" gotta stay for just one more beer.
