Steelers Tickets: See the Comeback Originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team changed its name in
1940 in honor of the city's most prevalent trade. The Steelers are the oldest team in the AFC;
the team joined the NFL in 1933. During
WWII, the Steelers twice merged with other NFL teams because of player
shortages, but the team revived both times with an increased fan base.Pittsburgh Steelers tickets sold well early in their career. The Pittsburgh Steelers struggled for many years, never ranking higher
than second place in their division. Their
luck changed in 1969 with the hiring of Coach Noll. Noll immediately drafted "Mean" Joe
Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Mel Blount, Jack Ham, and Franco Harris over the years. In 1974, Noll drafted four Hall of Famers:
Mike Webster, Lynn Swann, John Stallworth, and Jack Lambert. This draft went down in history as the one of
the best in the NFL. With the help of
these players, Noll created a true powerhouse that won four Super Bowls and eight
seasons' playoff games. Noll's legacy
allowed incredible sales of Pittsburgh Steelers tickets. The 80's were a quieter decade for the Steelers, but they kept on
playing.Pittsburgh Steelers
tickets continued to sell well, proving the dedication of the
Steelers' fans. The 2006 season began with the Steelers intent on improving their 11-5
record from 2005 and their Super Bowl title.
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the Steelers
franchise and finds the team trying to better their record of 2006, which was
8-8. A new focus on coaching is expected
to pay off, and Pittsburgh Steelers tickets continue to sell
like wildfire. In 2007, the Pittsburgh Steelers will be up against some good teams,
including the Baltimore Ravens (buy Baltimore

this season are likely to be unforgettable. Now it's your turn to go out and show your support by buying Pittsburgh
