AFC-911, trust me the reason the Steelers have built such a huge fan base is not because of some bandwagon fans over the last few years, they've been winning for decades. Since 1969 all of the Steelers head coaches have won Super Bowls. Every Steelers head coach in the last 40 years has won a Lombardi. That's sustained winning, not a recent phenomena.
I think you'll find nationwide Green Bay receives a great deal more support from people who haven't watched a single regular season Green Bay game (unless they were rooting for the other team), than the Steelers do from fans who haven't watched any of their regular season games. Bandwagon fans aren't unique to the Steelers. They do indeed have some annoying fans and some bandwagon fans, but the Steelers have built a fan base, and kept it loyal by winning like no other franchise has won in my lifetime. They're no team of distiny, just determination.
