Fans Come Out For Steelers Night Practice
(KDKA) LATROBE Thousands of fans brought their Steelers spirit to Latrobe Memorial Stadium tonight where the team had their first night practice of 2007 Training Camp.
About 10,000 fans of all age groups in the Steelers nation came out for tonight’s practice and festivities.
Many say they had high hopes of meeting their favorite player.
Practice got started at 7pm, and the Steelers signed autographs before the session.
Steelers fan, Kim Davis, said she got players like Troy Polamalu, Willie Parker and Hines Ward to sign the football she brought with her.
Another couple brought their new twins, Maddox and Logan, decked out in their best black and gold outfit to the practice.
While yet another fan said he hoped that quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, would bounce back from his bad year last season.
Even the Rooney family came out to support their team.
“Oh, it’s wonderful, the enthusiasm of everyone, the crowd, fans, Latrobe, Saint Vincent’s, our players. They really enjoy coming here,” said Art Rooney, the Steelers President.
After the team was done practicing, the fans were treated to Zambelli fireworks that lit up the sky to cap off the exciting evening.
