Steelers fans invade Cardinals home game at State Farm Stadium

Terrible Towels were out in full force as the Pittsburgh Steelers fans invaded State Farm Stadium, where their team faced the Arizona Cardinals.

GLENDALE, Ariz. — Pittsburgh Steelers fans made quite the scene at State Farm Stadium.

The venue, by the way, is more than a 2,000-mile drive from the Steelers’ home turf at Heinz Field.

One of the best traveling fan bases appeared to have a majority over Arizona Cardinals fans Sunday in Glendale, Ariz. It wasn’t something unexpected during the 23-17 Arizona loss.

“It’s tough but we knew that coming into this week,” Cardinals center A.Q. Shipley said. “We knew Pittsburgh travels well, especially being a winter game. I grew up in Pittsburgh so everybody wants to get out of Pittsburgh this time of year.

“They obviously did a heck of a job traveling but we were still able to hear our cadence, we didn’t have to do any silent stuff, but it definitely makes it harder.”

Added Cardinals linebacker Jordan Hicks: “It was definitely loud in the Steelers (direction). We’ve actually played our best football away. At the end of the day you can’t let that get to you.”
