Tuesday, February 03, 2009

Today at noon, Pittsburgh will greet its conquering heroes.

Tens of thousands of Steelers fans will converge on Downtown Pittsburgh to see the victors of Super Bowl XLIII as they triumphantly return from Tampa, Fla., with the team's unprecedented sixth Lombardi Trophy.

A parade will start at the end of the East Busway, near the corner of Grant Street and Liberty Avenue. It will then head down Grant and turn right on the Boulevard of the Allies.

A stage will be set up at the Boulevard and Stanwix Street.

"We are excited to give fans an opportunity to celebrate with their team," Mayor Luke Ravenstahl said. "Let's welcome home our guys and show the world what Pittsburgh and the Steeler Nation are all about."
