CBSSports.com recently released an article that has the estimated travel miles for all 32 NFL teams for the upcoming season. For their eight road games this season, the Steelers are to travel an estimated 13,226 miles, which ranks 21st out of the 32 teams. They have two trips that are over 2,000 miles, the most a team has is three, shared by both the Baltimore Ravens and Oakland Raiders.
For Pittsburgh Steelers ticket prices on the secondary market, two of their three most expensive games are against the Seattle Seahawks and San Diego Chargers according to TiqIQ.com, which are the two road trips that exceed 2,000 miles. Below is combination of that information with travel options according to Hipmunk.com to analyze the cost of making a Steelers road trip this season.
11/29/2015 | Seattle Seahawks vs. Pittsburgh Steelers | CenturyLink Field | Average Price: $585.24 | Get-in Price: $266
The reward for the Steelers traveling 2,500 miles across the country is to play the team with the best home-field advantage in the sport that has reached back-to-back Super Bowls. Round trip Seattle flights cost $750 on Hipmunk and have an estimated travel time of around seven hours. This is a trip only for the diehards, but will have some high-quality football attached to it.
9/10/2015 | New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers | Gillette Stadium | Average Price: $519.09 | Get-in Price: $237 | Thursday Night Football
This is the opening game of the NFL season. Only one quarterback is set in stone for the matchup, and that’s Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger. Tom Brady is currently in the appeals process of his four-game suspension from deflategate. At any rate, the over-550-mile trip can be done by car, but will take more than nine hours to complete the hike. Boston flights from Pittsburgh are around $150 on Hipmunk for a round trip and is a great deal if fans wanted to lock up that price early without knowing Brady’s availability.
10/12/2015 | San Diego Chargers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers | Qualcomm Stadium | Average Price: $361.16 | Get-in Price: $123 | Monday Night Football
Similar to the travel to Seattle, San Diego is approximately 2,400 miles away and will require almost seven hours of travel time through the air. This Monday Night Football date has round trip airfare costing a little over $400 on Hipmunk, but the addition of being in sunny California may make the trip worth it. Plus, attending a game on Monday night is always extra special.
