'Break the Broncos' Rally Set for Noon Friday as Steelers Head to Denver Game
Rally participants are asked to bring black-and-gold decorations for 20-foot "Terrible Tree."
To support the Pittsburgh Steelers as they head into their wild-card playoff game Sunday against the Denver Broncos, Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald and Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl have planned a “Break the Broncos Rally” at noon Friday in the courtyard of the Allegheny County Courthouse, Downtown.
Fitzgerald and Ravenstahl have declared Friday to be "Black & Gold Day" and are asking rally participants to bring black-and-gold decorations and Steelers paraphernalia to decorate a 20-foot "Terrible Tree."
They're also asking rally-goers to bring non-perishable canned goods or make a cash donation to support the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.
The event will feature live music, a Steelers trivia contest and a limited amount of free coffee, hot chocolate, coupons and giveaways courtesy of various businesses and the county Parks Department.
