The U.S. is loaded with states that have lots of things to offer — like beautiful scenery, fun things to do, and winning economies. Pittsburgh is a loser in all those categories and then some. It’s home to the Pittsburgh Steelers…and that’s about it.

Absentee Fans

Pittsburgh is so bad, even die-hard Steelers fans won’t live there. When the steel mills began to close up in the 80s, the residents began an exodus out of the city that hasn’t stopped yet. Now that the fans have found better places to live, they’re scattered all over the U.S.
