Thousands of black-and-gold laden Penguins fans line Pittsburgh...

Just call it the city of champions. Four months after celebrating the Steelers ' sixth Super Bowl victory, Pittsburgh Police estimated 375,000 people converged downtown again for a parade, this time in honor of the Stanley Cup champion Penguins.

Yawn. 375,00 fans? That is pretty lame. Most normal teams would draw at least over a million. Philly drew 2 million + for the Phils. Its a shame that podunk city cant draw more support. I all hear is how great Pittsburgh fans are..where are they?

Spread out all over the country. Too bad the Phils don't have the chance to gather. OH well, y'all can try again.

Yep, you are absolutely right, back in 1974 when the Cryers last won the cup they may have had 2 million there, but after 35 years, who cares!
Way to go Pens!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty easy to coax 2 million out since the last championship before that was 1983. 26 years of sucking make it pretty easy to pull in a crowd, h e ll may freeze over before you clowns get another.

Wow, a bit of anger here from pittsburgh fans..probably because they could not make the parade either. I think they call it sixburgh because thats how many people showed up! The philly fan base would be 2nd to NY, and thats only because of sheer numbers of new yorkers in general. Philly fans travel to other cities to support their teams better than any other teams fans. As far as being a "cryer" goes, you cant spell cry without Crosby.
