June 30, 2012 - Heinz Field4913 viewsIt was a special night in Pittsburgh for the 'Brothers of the Sun' Tour with Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw with a sellout crowd of more than 53,000.

For Chesney, it was his sixth time to play for a sold-out Heinz Field and in recognition of that feat, the Rooney family, owner's of the Pittsburgh Steelers, presented Chesney a cast iron Six For Six plaque, commemorating his six sold shows and the Steelers six Super Bowls Championships.

â€œI believe this might be the best gift Iâ€™ve ever gotten on the road,â€ Chesney said. â€œIt epitomizes all the heart and energy and passion that this crowd has, that this town has.â€Jul 03, 2012

June 19, 2012 - On the way to Ireland!751 viewsFrom Gina Huss, Pittsburgh native and Die-Hard Steelers fan:

There were 6 of us (all born and raised in Pittsburgh!) going on a trip to Europe where we would be visiting Ireland, Wales, England, and France.. For 2 of us, it was our senior trip! We had a layover in Atlanta and then would be flying from there into Dublin airport. So there we were just hanging out in the Atlanta airport eating frozen yogurt when our adult chaperone came running over to us flailing her arms and freaking out because she just saw Big Ben with some friends at the nearby restaurant! Naturally all being from Pittsburgh, we approached him calmly and told him we were from Pittsburgh and wondered if we could take some pictures with him.

He was so nice to us and took pictures with all of us! He asked where we were going and one of his friends even knew the school district we were from! It was very cool to also find out that he was going to be on our flight to Dublin and that he was going golfing in Scotland!

To add to the already exciting meeting, when we boarded the plane and passed by him in first class, he acknowledged us as the "Pittsburgh senior trip crew" and raised his glass to us and told us to have lots of fun! We were absolutely mindblown! It was a very cool way to start off our Europe trip!

*Thank you Gina!! Jun 29, 2012

June 25, 2012 - Smiling for the camera in Scotland1005 viewsBen poses with Chris McLaughlin, an avid Tennessee Titans fan who couldn't pass up the opportunity to pose with the Steelers' #7.

Chrisâ€™ story:

My day started like any other day. It was a beautiful day, much different than the previous 4 days of torrential rain. As I was standing at the front of the restaurant waiting to seat guests, I noticed four very tall gentlemen approaching. I greeted them, they asked for a table.

From this point onwards, my whole day changed, and even now, I cannot quite believe it.

Iâ€™m 24 years old, and for as long as I can remember, I have loved Titans Football. Iâ€™ve lived in the UK all my life and only visited the United States once a year. Living in the UK, football isnâ€™t a very big thing. Itâ€™s gaining a big reputation, but it will never be as big as soccer. At work, I am the only person who knows anything to do with football. So for my day to take the path it took, well itâ€™s almost unbelievable.

As I turned to lead the gentlemen to their table, I was thinking, â€œThat man looks so familiar. It canâ€™t be him can it? Ben Roethlisberger, here, at my work? thousands of miles away from Pittsburgh? Nah, it canâ€™t be!â€

It was. My legs were like jelly and my heart was going so fast, it would have given Usain Bolt a run for his money (no pun intended). As Ben and his companions were taking their seats, I couldnâ€™t help but mention that he looked so familiar.

His response? â€œI get that a lotâ€. Right there I knew it was him.

â€œYou wouldnâ€™t happen to live in Pittsburgh would you?â€, I asked.

â€œYeah, we all doâ€, replied Ben. He extended his hand and I shook it. It completely engulfed my hand, but I didnâ€™t care. I was so starstruck, you wouldnâ€™t believe.

â€œIâ€™m Ben, nice to meet youâ€, he continued.

Now, Iâ€™m not 100% sure exactly what I said next but my mind said I know exactly who you areâ€. He must have been a little surprised that I recognized him straight away. I would imagine he thought he would not encounter anyone who recognizes him in Scotland.

For the rest of the afternoon, I was beside myself. I couldnâ€™t believe it at all. I met him after his round of golf and asked how it went and congratulated him on graduating a month prior. I donâ€™t know what I was expecting, but both he and his group were very friendly, and surprisingly easy to talk to.

Meeting Ben really made my day worth remembering. I donâ€™t know how many times my colleagues had been told that he is a 2-time Super Bowl champion and 2-time Pro Bowler. I must have driven them crazy. Put it this way: If they didnâ€™t know who Ben Roethlisberger is, they know a lot more about Ben Roethlisberger now than they used to.

Thank you for sharing your story, Chris!

2012 Ben Roethlisberger Football Camp1407 views"The graciousness not only came from Ben, but his sister as well. Carlee was there to help out some of the kids with putting pinnies on, but she was more than accommodating taking a picture with me when I asked her. I hesitated on asking, but am glad I did. It just solidified what a great job Ben and Carlee's parents have done in raising them. From what little interaction I've had with them, its apparent they've raised not just great athletes, but even greater people. We had the time of our lives. I wish I was able to thank everyone who made it possible. I'm still in awe how great it was."
