The event started with a prime-rib dinner, where Joni saw team president Art Rooney II

Owner Dan Rooney

The "All-Team" press conference, where current Steeler Hines Ward (center photo) and
the great L.C. Greenwood (right photo), a Steeler from the 1970's, were honored

Greenwood and Ward with the Rooneys, who have owned the team since it began in 1933
Joni later learned that L.C. didn't care much for Hines' pink shirt

The ladies also had two guest speakers, linebackers
James Harrison (above) and LaMarr Woodley 

Then it was time for a tour of the stadium. Here are the field and the main scoreboard

Each lady was invited to try kicking a field goal, and Joni made it (see the ball going through the uprights?)
That's my woman!

Continuing the tour, Joni saw the shovel used to break ground for the stadium,
and a sign donated to the Steelers from the community

By custom, no one steps on either one, as a show of respect for the organization

These are the actual lockers and gear used for games

and linebackers Larry Foote and James Farrior

If all that wasn't enough, the ladies were invited to a taping of "The Hines Ward Show,"
a weekly TV show broadcast in Pittsburgh on KDKA, Channel 2

After changing for the show, Hines met the audience and shook Joni's hand
His guest for the night was his friend and fellow Steeler, Deshea Townsend

Hines and the m.c. Have I mentioned that Joni has a HUGE crush on Mr. Ward?
I refer to him as "Joni's Next Husband" 

During the show, Hines talked about the upcoming November 5th game against
their rival, the Baltimore Ravens. Hines described relations between the 
Steelers and the Ravens as "utter hatred." The Steelers crushed the Ravens, 38-7

Hines and Deshea talked about their long friendship (both are veterans on the team)
and how they room together every year at training camp. Hines says that Deshea's
most annoying habit is that he sleeps with the TV on, which keeps Hines up

Hines and Deshea answered questions from the audience. Joni got to ask Hines how he
avoids getting sick with all the airline travel does (the answer: vitamins). Hines likes to cook, 
and the show (and "Ladies' Night Out") wrapped up with a cooking segment
