The Steelers "Infiltrate Every Stadium In The NFL"



The Jacksonville Jaguars became the second team in a week to thump their chest about their ticket selling prowess when they announced yesterday that they are 1,500 season ticket sales away from beginning the NFL's 24th season ticket waiting list. Of course, this number excludes the 1,569 club seats that the team has left to sell for the 2006 season.

In addition the Jaguars announced that they have sold all 5,400 tickets that they have earmarked for 2006 games against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts and New York Giants. This also means that there will be no single game tickets available for those games this year.

Just as notable is the Jaguars continued freakish preoccupation with Steelers fans which has arisen several times on their website and on their local news:
"What all of this means is that Alltel Stadium shouldn't be nearly as yellow in color for the team's first home Monday night game since December 3, 2001. When the Jaguars played the Steelers on Monday night in the 2004 season, thousands of Steelers fans waving yellow dominated Alltel stadium...

"We don't think there will be nearly as the last time and if ther is the majority of (those tickets) will have been sold by (Jaguars) season ticket holders. We know ther will be some (Steelers fans) her because they've found a way to infiltrate every stadium in the NFL"
A quick look at StubHub reveals that Steelers fans will have plenty of opportunity to buy Steelers Jaguars tickets.
