A while ago I went to see my beloved Steelers play the Raiders (Nov 21). It was one of the craziest trips Ive had in a while and Ive been wanting to share it with OT
It started with a pit stop outside of buffalo to taste the delicious Mcrib

My thoughts on the McRib: Really good, but not something I would miss.
We got to Pitt on Saturday night, went to dinner and the we began drinking the one and only Four Loko: (Side story: I went to a sketchy ass store to buy 11 Lokos and the store guy asked me if I had health insurance. I never had and never will be asked that question while buying booxze ever again)

My thoughts on the Four Loko: fucking awesome. Tastes like oil change but does the job very effectively. This should not be banned.
Three of us drank one and half while the rest drank one. Few of my friends were not 21 so my buddy in the pic, the girl in the previous pic, and another girl went to Southside to party.

This is us doing a tequila beerback chugging comp (I thank LeftyMark for making me love tequila beerbacks at the Bluff party). We closed the bar then went home to find all of our friends still drinking (Hard to sleep while there is Four Loko in you). Eventually everyone went to bed at 5 and I woke up at 8 thinking we would be late for the game. So I decided to wake everyone by screaming TAILGATE!!!! and throwing a tall can at their bed. The people not going to the game were not impressed.

After a healthy breakfast we left to find more booze and then to the tailgate (we drank the remainder beers before 9). We couldnt find anything open so we left to the tailgate kind of sad that we wont be drinking. I however was very drunk and very very friendly. So I decided to grab a 20 and go around tailgates telling people that we were from canada and that we didnt know we wouldnt be able to find a liquor store open before 12 and if they can spot us a few beers.

First one to do so was sean. Hes a Steelers fan from Chicago (realized how badly Bears suck so he instead chose a champion team) and he loved that we were Canadian fans. After drinking with Sean for a bit we stumbled around and met Mitch

Mitchs tailgate was a little more skeptical about us being from Canada and they wanted proof. So Mitch pulled out a 60 of Crown and he made me chug until he told me stop. I passed the test and we tailgated with him and his friends for a bit. At this point I was fucked beyond any other time and my friend got worried we wouldnt get in. So she dragged us to the gate and right after we got in I got lost. I lost my ticket and could never find my seat. So I watched most of the game from here:

While my friends watched it from here:

I never found y friends and I only had on me a cc, my canadian drivers license. and my camera. After the game I walked out by myself and attempted to walk to where I was staying from the stadium. Heres a map of what I did:

The red line was my walk and the red square was the area I was staying. Eventually after two hours I found a fancy restaurant (Le Mont for those in Pitt) and asked the Valet to call me a cab. after about an hour of waitinbg me and the cab went on an adventure to find where I was staying. Eventually after 15 minutes of driving around the red square I found it. As my friend opened the door, he screamed "I found douuuugggggg!!!". theyve been watching the hangover in my honor the whole time. One of my friends was worried and called the cops and the hospitals looking for me.
All in all it was an amazing weekend. However me getting lost and walking along streets with no sidewalks trying to hitchhike was very very stupid. I blame fucking four loko for that. -
the last pic is great, actually you had the general idea of how to get back. good post.
-

really? cross the same river twice? I don't know anything about Pittsburgh but isn't there a better way? -
wait.... liquor stores aren't open till 12?
-
he knew it was cross the river, go up a little and turn right, he almost got it.
-
Haha good times man. That map is hilarious.
-
natty ice + four loco + football = fun
-
They don't have Mcribs in Canada?
-
nice trip report. you lucky to be alive
-
lol at "I found doug"
-
No trip to Primanti Bros. = FAIL
-
I live here in Pittsburgh. If there was one way to walk and,most likely be safe, you went the right way. If you woulda went toward manchester and ended up there,which you were sooo close to, you might not be making this post... All in all steeler games are awesome to go to. Glad you made it to the city and enjoyed yourself
-
thoroughly enjoyed that read
I've been lost in streets drunk before. I left a bar in Budapest last year and couldn't find my way to the house I was staying in. I was coherent but had been to a few places that night and had no clue where I was in the city. Found cover from the elements and crashed in a parking structure for the night. Not my first time sleeping in a parking structure either ha -
Im just amazed you could remember all that. My memory is one of the first things to go, and those shannanigans would have probably have been forgotten.
That must have been the canadian in you. Well done. -
The drunkenly wandering made me remember my horrible time in Vegas when I got lost in the Flamingo.

I remember very vividly up to chugging the crown then after I left the stadium and I was following a group of fans to the bridge.
the time in between was more of a brown out (which means a great part of the game i don't remember). -
This reminds me of my trip to the Kentucky Derby.
-
man... you all drink some shitty beer.
-
great story, good work!!
-
Thanks for the invite dick.
-
Awesome trip and pictures. Brings back memories of when I was 18 and me and my buddy's car got towed from the strip club in
downtown Minneapolis in the middle of winter. He didn't have a coat and we walked around a bunch of shady people that night and
somehow came out alive. Could go into more detail but I don't want to steal your thunder. -
sick brag re having socks.
lol goot story tho -
