Eagles or Steelers? Either way, the best fans win.
The Battle of Pennsylvania is more than a football game — it’s a celebration of our state, our pride, and everything that makes Pennsylvania The Great American Getaway. Whether grabbing a pretzel or a pierogi, visiting iconic landmarks, or tailgating with fans from the other side of the Turnpike, there’s never been a better time to hit the road and rediscover why PA is the place to be.
Best Bites Ever
Cheese whiz or coleslaw and fries? It’s the ultimate sandwich battle. Philly fans can’t resist a classic Pat’s or Geno’s cheesesteak, while Pittsburghers are all about the legendary Primanti Bros sandwich. Don’t stop there: grab a roast pork sandwich from DiNic’s inside Reading Terminal Market — or a juicy kielbasa from S&D Polish Deli in Pittsburgh. Whichever city you’re in, PA’s flavors never fumble.
Best Traditions Ever
Whether belting out the E-A-G-L-E-S chant or waving a Terrible Towel like their life depends on it, PA football fans bring the energy like nowhere else. You haven’t truly experienced an Eagles game until you’ve gone tailgating at Lincoln Financial Field (AKA the Linc). And in Pittsburgh, no Steelers game is complete until “Renegade” by Styx blares through Acrisure Stadium, pumping up the crowd in the fourth quarter.
Best Climbs Ever
From iconic victory poses to panoramic cityscapes, both cities deliver experiences that will have you on top of the world. Ride the historic Duquesne Incline to take in unforgettable views of Pittsburgh and its famous bridges, then walk along the Three Rivers Heritage Trail. Over in Philly, have your montage moment as you conquer the Rocky Steps at the Art Museum before strolling the Schuylkill River Trail.
Best Icons Ever
Impressionist masterpieces or pop art icons? You decide. Both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia boast world-class museums and public art. Pittsburgh is home to the Andy Warhol Museum, the largest museum in North America dedicated to a single artist, with the largest collection of Warhol art in the world. Philadelphia counters with The Barnes Foundation, Rodin Museum, LOVE statue, and more than 4,000 murals around the city. Whatever your creative taste, PA’s got culture covered.
Best Late Night Snacks Ever
It’s 1 a.m. — what are you craving? From salty and satisfying Philly soft pretzels to Pittsburgh pierogi loaded with sour cream, PA promises the perfect after-hours bites to fuel your victory celebrations (or console your defeat). Hungry for more PA food experiences? Let's go!
