Sunday at five is the last genuinely good hour of a weekend. Everything before it you have already spent, everything after it belongs to Monday, and a five o'clock face-off sits precisely in that gap - long enough to feel like a proper outing, short enough that you are home with some of the evening still yours. Pittsburgh is the visitor, and their supporters have a well-earned reputation for turning up anywhere in the country in numbers that embarrass the home crowd into being louder than it planned to be. That is the useful thing about them. A room that might otherwise coast through a November Sunday gets properly woken up by a few thousand people in black and gold who flew a very long way to be obnoxious about it. Go when the weekend is nearly over and get one more real thing out of it before the week starts again.
