Mark Lentz and his friend play tennis with Ben439 views Last June, Mark was staying at the same resort that Ben was staying at during the weekend of The Big 33 Classic in Hershey, PA. He and his friend not only met Ben on the tennis court, but Ben, ever the competitor, and his agent Ryan Tollner, played the boys in doubles for a few matches! Mark tweeted the collage of photos.

Not sure who won the matches, both Mark and Ben remained mum on that subject!

Thank you so much Mark!

Steeler Nation is everywhere!634 viewsBirthday girl and big Steelers fan Mary Rafail from Utah, goes to Memphis for her birthday week and lo and behold, finds a Steelers friend to pose with!

She is in front of the Pittsburgh Steelers Memphis Fan Club.

"Memphis was so cool...They are all locals and they have around 500 members. All proceeds from their raffles go to the local St. Judes to help Memphis familes. They are huge fans and love Big Ben! I had a great birthday with them and they treated us like family. They are a proud fan club!!! There are also 2 huge Steeler bars in Memphis!! Steelers and Elvis for my birthday...I thought I was in Heaven!!!" -- Mary

Mary Rafail shows her support!416 viewsShe stopped for lunch at Toby Keith's Bar & Grill in Phoenix on February 26, 2014, and sent a photo message for both Ben and Toby Keith, who were playing at The Honda Classic Pro Am in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida:

"Good Luck Big Ben & Toby! I LOVE those guys!"

816 viewsMy name is Matt August and I am a police sergeant in California. I was born a Pittsburgh Steelers fan in 1972 and have carried that love for the team through highs and lows. I am now raising my own family and they have also embraced my love for Steelers football. I am a huge Ben Roethlisberger fan and have several of his jersey's and am hoping I will be able to get one of his new Nike jerseys this year so that I can hang up my old Reebok jerseys. As you can see from our photo, we are a large family so making sure my entire family had jerseys has always been a priority for me rather than updating my own.

One of the things I admire and respect the most is his leadership of the team and his devotion to his family. I am also very appreciative of the many grants he provides to police departments to help fund police K9's. These dogs are a tremendous resource and asset but can be cost prohibitive for so many agencies so his awareness and commitment to helping agencies is truly awesome.

478 viewsDuring a recent trip to Nepal and Oman (on the southeast coast of the Arabian Peninsula), Matthew Leach ran into a group of Steelers fans..or at least that's his story!

"Omani camels love a Steelers fan. He wouldn't stop smiling! Some were quite vocal." -- Matthew

Matthew took his Terrible Towel to Nepal!449 views@_BigBen7 @steelers Cheers! Kathmandu, Nepal #towelsroundtheworld -- Matthew Leach, â€@matthew0leach

Also from Matthew:

That is at Swayambhunath (also known as the Monkey Temple for all the monkeys that live there). I take Steelers gear all over Asia. Am currently in Oman. Black and Gold 4Ever.

November, 2014: Fan Photos481 viewsMatt Reid and his wife Shannon took their Terrible Towel along for the ride when they went dog sledding on the Mendenhall Glacier in Alaska!

September 1, 2013 - Perfect Day at PNC410 viewsMatt â€œRabbiâ€ Rabinowitz and his family took a break from the summer heat of Fort Lauderdale, Florida to visit Pittsburgh over the Labor Day weekend to take in the FSU vs Pitt game.

While they were visiting, they decided to take in a Pirates game, and look who they ran into!

â€œNicest man I ever met,â€ said Matt. â€œHeâ€™s the man! Great guy and an even better QB!â€

What did he think of Pittsburgh? â€œI really enjoyed the city, great atmosphere!â€

He enjoyed the FSU vs Pitt game too, his Seminoles beat the Panthers 41-13 on Monday, September 2nd. You could say that Matt experienced a perfect sports weekend in the Da Burgh.

*Thank you to both Matt and his sister, Melissa!

October 2, 2020 - It's another Fan Friday220 viewsAnd another masterpiece from our friend and artist Matt Sharpe to finish off our post in style!

Matt Sharpe @daringsharpe
Itâ€™s good to have Ben back. This league is at its best when players like @_BigBen7 are out competing each week.
Just as its been at its best when other @steelers legends were out writing history on the field, week in and week out, across decades past. ðŸ˜¤âš«ï¸ðŸŸ¡ #Steelers

November, 2014: Fan Photos488 views"Here's our Steeler Nation Germany!! We meet like every week at the Dubliner in Heidelberg! Steeler Nation is everywhere!" -- Max, member of Steeler Nation Germany.
