GOING TO GROUND THE JETS
BURGH WEEKEND DEC 10-12 2004 Order Form

Coming off last seasons' sub par year, we at the PSFCOB asked ourselves "What can we do to help change this downward trend? How can we help alter what went wrong in 2003?" The PSFCOB has been a constant driving force in the 'Burgh for going on 14 years now and we do make a difference for whatever game we go to. With that being said, we are doing things a little different this year.
The Annual PSFCOB Pilgrimage to Pittsburgh will coincide with the New York Jets coming to town on December 12th. One difference right off the bat is that this is a 4:00 PM game. In all the years we have been going to The City of Champions, we have never attended a 4:00 PM game. This will be a radical change of pace after basking in the September sun, sand and surf of Miami. Some may even call it "old school" but I guarantee that no matter what frigid temperatures Mother Nature may have in store for us, the PSFCOB experience of this weekend will be sure to warm even the chilliest of souls.
In keeping with the theme of change, we will not be staying at The Sheraton at Station Square this time around. While they have plenty of guest rooms for the throngs of PSFCOBers that converge for this once a year weekend, they cannot accommodate us for our Saturday Night Party. As such, we have looked elsewhere and will be staying at The Downtown Hilton Hotel. This is easily the largest, most recognized hotel in the city and is a mere medium range pass from Point State Park and the confluence of the Three Rivers. I am told we stayed there a few years back although I don't remember much of that weekend. That proves that we must have had a good time.
While change is good in some instances, there is a lot to be said for consistency in certain situations. This goes for ticket prices, the Sunday Tailgate Party and the Saturday Night Party. Game ticket prices will be the same as they were last year; $125.00 for Lower Level End Zone Seats, $100.00 for Upper Sideline Seats and $90.00 for Upper End Zone Seats.
The Sunday Tailgate Party will remain at $20.00 per person and the Saturday Night Party will stay at $10.00 per person. The Sunday Tailgate Party will not go into full gear again after the victory over the Jets due to the late start of the game but we will likely keep the food and drink flowing right up until kickoff and maybe a little into the game.
This is always a great weekend to get out of Baltimore and converse with fans, friends and Fan Club members that you may not otherwise see during the season. The many, many fans who attend year after year after year can attest to the popularity of this annual trip. Whether you come in Friday night, Saturday morning or later in the afternoon, the anticipation builds to a point where the Saturday Night Party provides a release of all that pent up energy. Then, Sunday morning dawns cold and crisp and the fire starts to burn again until you're at a point where you're as fired up as the players themselves come kickoff. For those who have never made the trip, it is everything you've heard about... and more!!!
