Here’s How to See the Steelers When the Team is on the Road

Aaron Rodgers is signed. Steelers players report to Saint Vincent College in Latrobe on July 23 for training camp. It’s time for fans to make travel plans to follow the Black and Gold on the road. And flights from Pittsburgh International Airport bring away games closer.

Just don’t forget your Terrible Towel.

The passionate fan base of the Steelers is widely regarded as one of the most loyal and widespread in the NFL with fans taking over stadiums across the country — and maybe internationally this season.

The marquis away game is on Sept. 29 in Dublin against the Minnesota Vikings. Ireland is accessible on Icelandair with an easy connection from Keflavík International Airport (KEF) in Reykjavík, Iceland, or through Heathrow Airport (LHR) in London via British Airways.

Other games Steeler fans can attend in the U.S. with nonstop flights from Pittsburgh:

• Sept. 7 vs. the New York Jets in MetLife Stadium. MetLife Stadium is a short drive from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). United Airlines and Spirit Airlines offer daily nonstop service to EWR.

American Airlines has added a special “fan flight” leaving Pittsburgh on Nov. 7 with a Nov. 9 return flight. This is in addition to the airline’s daily nonstop service to LAX.
