Words cannot describe how excited I am (still) to have attended the August 5th and 6th training camp sessions of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I have been a fan of the team since 1997 and a fan of Ben since 2004. At the camp, I was amazed to hear the loud cheers for Ben as he came out to practice, and to see so many fans wearing his jersey! The cheers lasted throughout practice as fans watched Ben closely run drills with his offense. He looked very fit and relaxed; he laughed and joked around with his teammates, especially Hines Ward!
Unfortunately, after practice, most of the players, including Ben, were carted off the field and I was unable to get an autograph. Hopefully next time I will get one!
This was my first Steelers training camp experience and it will certainly NOT be the last!! I cannot wait to see Ben and his teammates on August 21st at their pre-season game against the NY Giants at Meadowlands stadium.
Have a great year, Ben!! GO Steelers!! Go Ben!!
Sincerely,
Elli
