You have to go the first weekend of camp.. I went on Sunday August 2nd or 3rd.. I was a little upset because I couldn't use my Steeler Fan Memebership discount card there... By the way if you try to use your discount card at training camp or the sideline store they willn't take it.. That sucks..

I went last year for the fist time. Made the trip from the Boston area pretty much to see camp and visit some friends. Pretty cool experience.

It's really kind of difficult to make sense of much of it as a spectator, still fun none the less.

Hopefully we will have some good young WR's this year that can play the game from what I am hearing Brown is doing rather well.I know it is early and hey haven't used pads yet but it is still good to hear about them.

I'm going to share the story about my only training camp experience.

I was asked by one of my friends to go to the TC a few years back and he brought me along with two of our other friends all of us huge steelers fans of course. Well his mom drove and we are all like 15-16 year old guys excited as hell to go see the steelers practice. We get there and are standing in an area not far from where we parked and quickly got bored so took off and actually was lucky enough to see Coach Cowher walk right pass us and we also saw LeBeau so we are going nuts one of my friends worked up the courage to ask LeBeau for his autograph and he said "find me after practice" or something like that which is understandable because they were looking to get started soon.

So we go back to where my friends mom was at to start watching some of the practice. When we knew there was probably a half hour of practice left we wanted to go up to where they go into the locker rooms to possibly get some autographs. So we left where is mom was standing. BIG MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!

We didnt have much luck getting autographs, I think Greg Warren was the only guy we knew lol. So when we get back to my buddys mom she asked if we had any luck and we said not really and she said well there were two guys that came right up along the fence here and signed stuff for everyone. And we were like oh yea who were they and her response was ( her not knowing much about the team ) ummm #86 and #10. WE WERE SOOOO PISSED!!! lol we could have got Ward's and Tone's autographs but ended up getting the long snapper! :chuckle:

Even though we made a bad choice leaving that spot we still had a blast and I suggest going at least one time. It's great. I thought it was a funny story and thought id share it :thumbsup:

What a great experience today at Steelers TC! :thumbsup: There was a LOT of concentration on the rushing game and Mendy, MeMo and Jonathan Dwyer were exceptional! Mendy's cuts were done with speed and precision and I have to say - Flozell Adams on that right side makes a HUGE difference. As XT said - he's a house on legs. :chuckle: He beat Aaron Smith like a rented mule on just about every play.

Now for Ben. I'm telling ya - he looks phenomenal both physically and behind center. :yay3: He's lost what looks to be 35-40 lbs. and is in the best shape I think I've ever seen him. He hasn't lost a beat and his passes looked quite crisp. Lefty looked really good, too, and Dix and Batch threw some nice passes, as well, in the very limited time I saw either of them. Lefty played mainly with the first team so I think it's a no-brainer who is going to be in the QB position when the season starts and he looks rarin' to go! :thumbsup: Props also to Pouncey who looked really good playing at center today and I think Hartwig plays much better as a G than as a C.

Didn't really get to see too much on the D side of the ball, as they seemed to be really focusing on the rushing attack today. All in all, I was quite pleased with what I saw and am looking forward to the season now more than ever!

XT and I didn't take any pics because they would have been more of the same pics already posted.

GO STEELERS!!!! :tt03::tt02:

Jim Wexell tweeted that Lefty went out with ice on his right arm. Do you know anything about that?

Hey - XT and I will be at Steelers TC today and if anyone else is going to be out there, look us up! We sit at the top of the hill on chairs facing the field and we're easy to spot - a big black guy accompanied by a Liz Taylor (in her younger days of course :heh:) look-a-like with medium length auburn hair with blonde highlights. :thumbsup: Hope to get to meet a couple of you at camp! :drink:

I was there today. You weren't the crazy lady in the stands yelling for Antwaan Randel El's autograph were you? :)

Nope. XT and I were sitting in chairs up at the top of the hill on the right at about the 10 YL. I was the one, however, using my binocs to lust on Skippy doing his head to knee leg warmups. :eyebrows: I wish I had known you were going today buddy.

Sue - I didn't know about Lefty as we left SV's at about 4:30 PM to get a jump on the traffic. Must have happened when he was on the other side of the field. Geez - he looked so good from what I saw of him - hope he's OK. :pray:

I would have liked to meet you as well! I'll be posting a few pics as soon as I get home tomorrow.

We'll be at both the Steelers/Panthers pre-season game in September and the Raiders regular season game in November if you or anyone else is going and would like to meet up! :drink:

P.S. Hey vader - did you go to TC? We were waiting for you to find us but no luck. :noidea:

If you would face the bleachers I was sitting to the right of where they were in a chair probably around 10 spaces over. I walked around looking for you guys but couldn't find where you were, should have just yelled if anyone was from Steelers Universe.

Anyhow just got home a few minutes ago as my radiator sprung a leak and my truck overheated and I was stuck just off of the highway for a few hours. :(

Ben had his wrapped in ice at the end of practice last week, it's most likely nothing but treatment from a lot of throwing.

You left at 4:30??? Cause of traffic???? Whaaaaat? What type of fan are you? shoooot, haha. The traffic is not that bad (usually flows nice since there are like 3-4 different exit points from SVC)...haha..some people, jk. Missing out on the fun part to interact with some of the players/etc. Shame shame haha :-P

There were a lot of folks that left at 4:30 - some even before. We were sitting out in the hot sun and because of medical issues, I'm not supposed to be out in the sun for very long and I was pushing it, as we had been sitting out in that heat since 1:00. The only interaction I need at TC with the players is seeing them doing their thing on the field. They're exposed to the heat more than I, they're exhausted and I'm not going to keep them out in that hot sun any longer than they need to be. JMHO.

I don't know how we missed each other. If you're looking down at the field, we were sitting on the right at the top of the hill where we always sit in chairs. Eric had on his #43 white jersey and I had on a black Steelers t-shirt with gold trim and grey short sleeves and a pair of jean shorts. Oh well - we'll try again next year! :drink:

Sorry to hear about your truck - that sucks!!!!
