PITTSBURGH —
More than 250,000 Steelers fans joined forces with their Super Bowl heroes for what's being called the biggest celebration in the city ever.
A jam-packed parade route led to a jam-packed gathering at Gateway Center, where the players spoke to the crowd.
Now that the team has "one for the thumb," it needs a new slogan.
One fan made a banner that read "don't stop there... the other hand is bare!"
Channel 11 caught up with a few wild and crazy fans enjoying the parade.
Perhaps the most colorful was die-hard fan Rob Johnston.
"I did it myself. It's pretty elaborate, but I don't want to tell people I did it myself. I'm embarrassed," he said.
Many fans showed up after hearing their parents talk about the super bowl celebrations of the 1970s.
