Fieldtrip to Heinz Field

Since the Super Bowl is this weekend and the Steelers are going I thought I'd share the pictures that I took a few years ago while there on a school field trip.
The year was 2007 ~ the final year for our school as it was slated for closure and consolidation. (and the year before I began homeschooling)
As the final "big hurrah" before being closed the whole school was taken on this one last fieldtrip.

A day in Pittsburgh touring Hienz Field and the Carnegie Science Center.

These are just a few of the sights that we saw that day.
                                   Entering Heinz Field
Sitting in the Lounge Area - look at the sweet little face.
                                   (Gage - 7years old)
                                        Heinz Field
              Another Field shot looking towards the river.
                           Looking out from a luxury suite.
                      On our way to the Locker Rooms
                 Locker Room ( the kid's favorite part of tour)
                  Gage & some friends in the locker room

The other favorite was getting to go down to the field. I had pictures of that too but can't find them now anywhere.
The kids were pretty impressed with it's size once they were standing on it.

It was definitely a day they will always remember.

Now before you all ask,
Do I want the Steelers to win???
Well, I gotta tell you that I'm not a huge sports fan.
While my husband is glued to the tv each weekend watching football, Nascar or whatever other flavor of the season it is, I am usually off doing something else or watching something else on another tv.
So I'll just say good luck to both teams!

I had to laugh when I read about your husband being glued to the tv watching sports. It sounds like our house! LOL! I'm not a sports fan either and am doing the same thing as you. :) I'll be making some yummy snacks for him to munch on while watching, though.
