So there are tons of ways to recognize a true Pittsburgh resident. Some ways being that the word yinz and expecting fries on our salad have become natural to us. But of all things Pittsburgh has to offer, we like to go the extra mile for our sports teams and their fan base. Here are some things I'd like to shine a light on for a second...
- You don't just like a team.... you LOVE it. Basically you'd do anything to get to a game in the city
- Penn State or Pitt.... no, you can't pick both.
- We will close down the city to bring home the title of "The City of Champions."
- We put terrible towels in (almost) every store whenever possible.
- On game day, our city is a sea of black and gold, no matter which professional team is playing.
- We can fill arenas even when the team is playing an away game (ex.Stanley Cup finals 2016)
- We stand by our teams even when all hope is lost
- When in doubt, it's a sure fire way to get along with us as a city... just don't bad mouth our teams.
So, whether you live here or are just coming to visit, be prepared to be Pittsburgh Proud.
