Just as we did for Superbowl 40, my wife and I drove up from Raleigh, North Carolina to watch the Steelers win the Superbowl. The celebration downtown after the win was not as festive as 2006, primarily because the police had almost all the streets closed off. Oakland or the South Side would have been the place to be. On to the mix of pictures:
