Steelers Nation was out in full force to cheer on the black and gold in Atlanta as the Steelers defeated the Falcons, but the crowd was just as enthusiastic at the Steelers first ever international watch party held in Mexico on Sunday.
Three Steelers legends, Dermontti Dawson, James Farrior and Santonio Holmes joined the approximately 2,000 people in attendance for the team's "Siempre Steelers" Watch Party event, held at the Pepsi Center in Mexico City.
The venue featured several large screens for fans to watch and cheer on the Steelers, as well as activities for fans of all ages, including Madden gaming stations, inflatables, live music, face painting, and opportunities to get autographs and take photos with the Steelers legends.
