To say that Brian Elliott of Allison Park, PA has enjoyed the benefits and rewards that come with being a Steelers Nation Unite member may be an understatement. This season, Elliott has gained over 600 yards, which has put him well into the Hall of Fame level of SNU.
This past weekend, Elliott got the chance to travel with the Steelers to Cleveland and experience a road trip with the team. He and his wife, Soni Lynn, boarded the team buses on Saturday afternoon at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex and headed with the team to Cleveland. After arriving at the team's hotel, they joined a group of Steelers Nation Unite members at a special pregame dinner, featuring appearances and a Q&A with Tunch Ilkin and Craig Wolfley.
On Sunday morning, the couple ate breakfast with the Steelers and then headed over to the game. Once inside the stadium, they spent the majority of pregame standing on the Steelers sidelines, before heading to their seats behind the Steelers bench to watch the victory.
For the Elliott's, the entire weekend was something special to add to their list of Steelers memories.
"Being around the guys at breakfast and before we left was pretty neat," said Brian. "We got a close up experience with Mr. Rooney so it was really nice."
His wife echoed those some sentiments.
"It's been so amazing and it was so special to get invited to travel with the team," said Soni. "It's been a really exciting opportunity for us."
Since joining Steelers Nation Unite over 2 years ago, Elliott points to a number of exclusive benefits and types of access as the main perks that he enjoys and takes advantage of as a member.
"[Steelers Nation Unite] gives you a wide range of experiences. You get to read articles and watch videos you may not have if you weren't a member. I like all of the shopping and the discounts are really great," Elliott said. "Just being able to have the experiences in the stadium has been great."
While the win was the perfect way to cap off the weekend, the presence of Steelers Nation in Cleveland only added to the trip.
"It definitely is [nice to be surrounded by Steelers Nation]," Brian said, "It makes it a little bit more comfortable. It's nice to see some friendly faces here at the stadium."
