Heinz Field

Today we went and toured Heinz field. it was free day, and really neat. Here is a picture of the field from the nose bleed seats! The field has special heaters under it to melt the ice and snow in winter. It is also kept at 61' at all times , the optimal tempeture for grass to grow. The field stays green all year! The new scoreboard. Everytime the Steelers get into the "red zone" (near the endzone) these ketchup bottles pop open at the top and red pours down and makes the whole screen red. The guide told us that they don't show it on TV because everytime they would show it the Heinz company would have to pay for advertising.
This is the view from one of the $40,000 a year luxury boxes. And that's a cheap one.
