Super Bowl XLIII Parade
February 15th, 2009
For the second time in my life I had the opportunity to walk the streets with thousands of Steelers fans as they cheered loudly for the Super Bowl Champion Steelers. Troy Polamalu jumping into the crowd was one of the highlights. This parade was much more controlled and the fans were kept back from the cars. It was orderly and safe, and I got a great view. I can remember running into Lake Fong from the Post-Gazette adn he turned to me and just said, “Isn’t the funnest thing?!” while we were all gathered around James Harrison’s car while he hoisted the Lombardi Trophy. I just love seeing the crowd go wild with pride. And I have to say Troy jumping into the crowd was a sight to see. He totally made the occasion for the dozens of people who got to catch him. Chaotic, but memorable.
