Not sure why I had a semi-goofy look in my eyes!
As to what percentage of Pittsburgh Steelers fans are upset about this, I did an in depth survey . . . asking my office manager and my dispatcher . . . . They both say "Good riddance", and that many peeps are NOT disappointed to see him go, with all of the antics he pulled.
That said . . . your question was about the tears of Steelers fans "in PIT" . . . I really didn't have time to run out to the airport and ask people!

DT is awesome with a capital “A” baybee! (Cue Dick Vitale).
We had an awesome time. Dave keeps a pretty full schedule with his business so it was even more awesome that he took the time out to literally chauffeur me around. The chili dog is still hanging around in my belly. It was an experience.
A highly recommended experience for all FT regulars. He’s a walking Pitt encyclopedia and a very gracious host and down-to-earth guy. On a side note, for fellow believers out there, please keep Dave in your prayers ‘cuz he’s the genuine article.
Very happy to add add him to my circle of friends and hope to return the favor one day.
Against my better judgement, the infamous “Horta Hears a Chilli Dog” pic (and don’t you dare post the other one, Dave ).
Let’s see who can discern the difference between the hot dog and my portly flanges:
DaveTravels exhibits his mad professional photography skillz on an unworthy subject. Almost as good as my mug shot at the Post Office

Thanx for the ever-so-over-the-top embellishment of out brief outing!
It WAS fun! I luv to drive, and luv to show off our beautiful city 
As to the chili cheese dog moment . . . . Somehow, I had a feeling you were a chili cheese dog kind of guy!
As to the after-effect of an Original chili cheese dog . . . I'm sure we would'a had 5 minutes to stop at a CoGo's (our version of 7-11) for some Alka Seltzer.
Don't worry about the "other" pic you sent me from the plane. It's safe with me. You won't see it in the "Disgusting acts of Delta passengers" thread!
As to the high quality of my photography . . . I did, indeed process my own color photos in my basement decades ago before it all went digital!

(though I guess there are plenty of people arriving "in PIT" who may be in tears).
Cool pic on the sidelines. Had to be exciting! And even without Antonio Brown, I'm sure the Steelers will still beat my Bengals twice this year, like they do pretty much ever year.

Nobody has tears when they're "in PIT", unless they're tears of happiness, because they're all overjoyed to be leaving Pittsburgh. (though I guess there are plenty of people arriving "in PIT" who may be in tears).

That's mean. Don't pick on PIT unless you want to criticize the decision to move the airport a couple miles farther from town when they built the new terminal, and then expected people to drive to the airport and pay for parking just to go shopping (in an airside mall, post-security----and this was shortly before 9/11) when the Pittsburgh area already had some perfectly fine even somewhat upscale indoor shopping malls.

Enough of this PIT bull. You're making this thread PITifull. Quit Steeling our attention and let's move on to other important topics like how many days until Thorsday.

Better for what? Turtles make good soup while tortoise shell stuff is nice, although most of it never sees a real or imaginary tortoise.
Also, it we're betting here, surely someone will want to enter their dog into the race, although if the dog starts to chase the hare, floppy ears could win by a nose.
