It was the Steelers vs Pats game last year and I was like a celebrity that day! lol! -- Paul

November, 2014: Fan Photos493 viewsCheck out the beautiful quilt that Robert Wade made for his grandson!

"I'm a fan for the history behind the steelers - hard working blue collar worker who played ball an through the years the franchise has always put together one of the best and most humble teams! They always give 100% and never quit. I've been a fan since I was 9 and when it come to Ben, he's grown so much from his rookie days to now. I follow him and respect him for all that he does for the public, the foundation, and charities he supports. He's a true, honest, good hearted, humble man and I have his back." -- Robert Wade

December, 2017 - Regios de Acero in Pittsburgh628 viewsOur friend, Roger Saucedo fills us in on their big weekend:

And here we go again! Regios de Acero were on their way to Pittsburgh last week! This was our trip to celebrate the clubâ€™s 15th anniversary. On Thursday morning, December 7th at 7:00 a.m. 90 fans loaded onto 2 buses to see 1 team: the Pittsburgh Steelers. We expected a 40-hour trip but that did not matter, we had an appointment at Heinz field on Sunday night to support Big Ben Roethlisberger and the team vs. Ravens.

We arrived at the City of Steel on Friday evening, tired but happy.

On Saturday, we toured the city: first the Strip District and then on to Heinz field area for an interview with Mike Clark (anchor news at WTAE). By 5 p.m. we had an important appointment too: an event at the stadium â€“ the Steelers offered a Welcome Party to Mexican and Latin American fans. It was a great party! Roger Saucedo and Jesus Vera, administrators of Regios de Acero, broadcast on facebooklive some moments of the event for his club members in Mexico and all Mexican Steeler Nation too.

Thanks Killer Bâ€™s (Ben, Bell, Brown, Boswell), thanks to all the team and thanks to the city of Pittsburgh because they always make us feel like home. See you next year for another traditional tour of Regios de Acero, the most iconic Steelers fan club in Mexico. Here we go! â€” Roger Saucedo and the members of Regios De Acero.

**Regios de Acero have been making this trip for the last few years: December 2014, December 2015, and November 2016. That is dedication. That is #SteelersMexico!

Kathleen â€œPollyâ€ Trump, a life-long resident of Connellsville, PA, will be 104 years old on Sunday â€“ thatâ€™s right, Game Day!
Polly gets special treatment here on Benâ€™s website because, well, sheâ€™s Polly. And because we like to celebrate her birthdays every year right along with her!

According to her granddaughter, Karen, she is not only a â€œvery long-time Steelers fan, but a BIG fan of Big Benâ€™s and everything that Pittsburgh represents!â€.

When this busy lady isnâ€™t cheering on her beloved Big Ben and his teammates, she can be found exercising at Silver Sneakers three times a week!

Polly is dedicated to the Irish-Roman Catholic Church, and, â€œis the most amazing woman that Iâ€™ve ever known,â€ said her granddaughter.

Wishing you an absolutely wonderful birthday, Polly! God bless you and Go Steelers!! Go Polly!!
