  • 1.) What Was the Original Name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. the Pirates
    1.) What was the original name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. The Pirates The Pittsburgh football franchise was founded by Art Rooney on July 7, 1933. When he chose the name for his team, he followed the customary practice around the National Football League of naming the football team the same as the baseball team if there was already a baseball team established in the city. So the professional football team was originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates. 2.) How many Pittsburgh Steelers have had their picture on a Wheaties Box? C. 13 Since Wheaties boxes have started featuring professional athletes and other famous people, 13 Steelers have had their pictures on the box. These players are Kevin Greene, Greg Lloyd, Neil O'Donnell, Yancey Thigpen, Bam Morris, Franco Harris, Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Barry Foster, Merril Hoge, Carnell Lake, Bobby Layne, and Rod Woodson. 3.)

  • Pittsburgh Baseball Lesson
    Sept. 2, 2001--- PITTSBURGH, Pa.--The national pastime is blessed with many beautiful new baseball stadiums, but none fit into the pastiche of community as well as PNC Park at North Shore in downtown Pittsburgh. The ballpark is muscled between a regentrified warehouse district and the Allegheny River, an appropriate location for a working-class town where five o'clock shadows are 24/7. It's like having a shot glass next to a beer. The Roberto Clemente Bridge rainbows the river. The former Sixth Street bridge was renamed in honor of one of the Pittsburgh Pirates' most beloved players. Clemente perished in a Dec. 31, 1972, plane crash while leading the Puerto Rican relief effort for earthquake-torn Nicaragua. He was 38. Sometimes Clemente would complain about his aches and pains. I can still see him twitching his neck while going to work in a bitter September wind. But he always got the job done with passion and pride. That's Pittsburgh. The Clemente bridge is closed to vehicles during game days, allowing pedestrians to approach the park with anticipation in each step--just as Clemente used to come to the plate against the Cubs. The right-field wall at PNC is known as "The Clemente Wall." It is exactly 21 feet high in honor of the right fielder's uniform number. One of the best places to watch the game is from the cheapest seat, a $9 ticket in the 300 section of the right field upper deck grandstands. This presents a glorious view of bridges, the north downtown skyline and the ballpark's "toothbrush" light standards.

  • Pittsburgh Pirates 2018 Marketing Plan
    Pittsburgh Pirates 2018 Marketing Plan Presented by: Claire Dalton 1 Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Marketing Plan Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Sales III. Promotions IV. Advertising V. Merchandising VI. Public Relations VII. Community Relations 2 I. Executive Summary Under the direction of Chairman of the Board Bob Nutting, the Pittsburgh Pirates organization's mission is to strive for excellence in every aspect of the organization, including the way the organization interacts with the community, its business partners and its fans. In the 2017 season, our attendance ranked 25th out of 30 for the entire MLB. We drew 1.9 million people to the ballpark, which is approximately 23,700 a game. The Pirates finished the season with a 75-87 record, fourth in the NL Central. This past offseason saw the trading of two of the franchise’s biggest names, Gerrit Cole and Andrew McCutchen. These trades were not well-received by fans, who believed that the ownership did not value winning. This season, we need to come up with a plan to increase attendance and regain our fan’s loyalty. Our goal is to increase attendance by 5%. In order to do so, we will need to be innovative in our sales efforts. Pittsburgh is a smaller market, so we must target local fans and visitors to sell single game tickets. We will also target area groups in an effort to sell more group tickets. We also need to come up with more benefits to attract and retain season ticket holders. Part of our mission is to create a fun environment for fans.

INTRODUCTION Few domestic policy issues generated more debate in the closing dec- ade of the twentieth-century than the propriety, nature, and extent of public subsidies for major league sports franchises. My city, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: "Steel Town, U.S.A." was no exception. Ages ago, in November of 1997, to be exact, the General Assembly of the Keystone State graciously granted the voters in ten southwestern Pennsylvania counties the opportunity to impose an additional 0.5% sales tax upon themselves, their fortunes, and their sacred honors; the proceeds to be used in part to fund the construction of two new stadiums for the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers.

  • Everywhere and Nowhere: the Forgotten Past and Clouded Future of American Professional Soccer from the Perspective of Massachusetts Steven Apostolov*
    Soccer & Society Vol. 13, No. 4, July 2012, 510–535 Everywhere and nowhere: the forgotten past and clouded future of American professional soccer from the perspective of Massachusetts Steven Apostolov* Department of Political Science, University of Massachusetts, Lowell, MA, USA Professional soccer in the USA enjoyed several moments of popularity through- out the twentieth century. Professional soccer leagues were founded, some as early as the 1890s. In spite of that, the sport has never caught fire at the profes- sional level. Soccer leagues have not only been in the shadow of baseball, foot- ball, basketball and, most recently, ice hockey, but with the exception of Major League Soccer, a newcomer on the mainstream sporting scene, all of them have folded within a couple of decades. This essay provides insight as to why profes- sional soccer has failed to attain the status of a major American sport. It also analyses the development of professional soccer in the USA through the scope of immigration and from the perspective of Massachusetts. Introduction US soccer is not a common topic among historians. It is not a common topic among soccer fans, either. If you ask any admirer of sports to name the world’s fin- est nations in soccer, the list will be long. Depending on their nationality, different soccer lovers will provide different answers. The Dutch would only grudgingly con- cede the Spaniards played better in the 2010 World Cup final, and Brazilians still believe they had the ability to capture a sixth World Cup title in South Africa. It would never occur to a soccer fan, however, to include the USA among the world’s leading powers of the game.
