A Desert Sell-Out.

Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic reports that tickets to the Pittsburgh Steeler 1st Pre-season game against the Arizona Cardinals sold out in minutes on Saturday. The Steelers will play the Cardinals at 4 PM on August 12 in the inaugural game at the Arizona Cardinals new stadium in suburban Glendale, AZ.

A loyal core of Steeler fans living on the west coast looking forward to celebrating the teams Super Bowl XL championship and optimism created by the Cardinals new stadium and the offseason acquisitions of Edgerin James and Matt Leinhart create the perfect recipe for sellling out the traditional pre-season opening snoozer.

Tickets for the game are plentiful on StubHub, ranging from $50-$631.
