Football Season

During my time in Pittsburgh, I became a football fan, or an "American football" fan for those not from the US. My team are the Pittsburgh Steelers who won the Superbowl last year and who are having a horrible season this year.
For my birthday, Chris got me tickets for the Steelers v the Raiders. The Raiders have the reputation for being one of the roughest crowds in the game and I was warned that they might not be too friendly. Fortunately the Steelers managed to lose the game and so the crowd were pretty happy on account of how the Raiders don't really win much.
Here I am at the ground with my friend Sophia, also from Pittsburgh. Note that whilst it was the end of October it was still 20 degrees and sunny....
The seats we had were pretty high up but we got a great view of the Bay
