You could smell hamburgers on a grill and feel the laid-back vibe in the parking lots near Heinz Field in the hours before the Steelers opened their preseason last Friday. Yes, football has returned, and so have the tailgaters and the city's high hopes for this year's team. At Gate A, fans made their way through security and into the stadium, where they watched the Steelers defeat the Eagles 16-10.
