This photo was taken on the south bank of the Monongahela River looking back towards the Fort Pitt bridge.  In the background Heinz Field can be seen as well.

This is another photo taken at Station Square.  This is a spectacular fountain that they have set to music.  Every 20 minutes they have a different set of songs play that the water and the lights are set to.  The fountain itself consists of several hundred (at least) different outlets.  During the day, this is neat.  At night it is spectacular!

The home of the Steelers!  This new facility is the playing field for both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh Panthers.  It is located on the North Shore of the Ohio River and affords spectacular views of the confluence through the open end of the endzone.

We were able to get a photo of one of the players outside of Heinz field!  This is one of the most fearsome players that the NFL has ever known!  (It's me if you don't know...)

This is inside Heinz field.  There were actually people that had seats above ours!  Actually these turned out to be good seats as we were shaded on what was otherwise a pretty hot day.  It was also quite easy to see the action from here.

This is the Steelers during pre-game stretches.  In the foreground is #86 - Hines Ward - the best player in the NFL.  (in my biased opinion).
