Just a couple weeks ago Fans First Sports Network (FFSN) decided to give back to the people who make the network tick — the fans.

How was this going to happen? How about giving away 4 FREE premium tickets to a random fan to attend any Week 1 NFL game of their choice. Not only was FFSN going to send someone and three others to any Week 1 game of their choice, but they were going to be premium tickets which could be valued as high as $5,000 dollars!!

After thousands of entries around the United States, the winner was selected on September 5th, the day after the contest ended, and it was Bryan Haines, from Martinsburg, West Virginia.

Bryan, a FedEx driver, is a long-time Pittsburgh Steelers fan and will be attending the Week 1 game at Acrisure Stadium to watch the Steelers play the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday.

When Bryan was contacted about winning the tickets, his response was what many fans would find to be customary.

“F–k yeah!!” was his reaction.

Following the news, he didn’t have to look far for some Steelers gear he had on hand while driving his route to prove his love for the black-and-gold.

Once he calmed down, and realized he wasn’t just going to the game but being up-close-and-personal with premium tickets, his thought process changed.

“Oh my God, I can get so close that I’ll be able to see the sweat on players! On top of that, I’ll be able to hear [Mike] Tomlin congratulating T.J. [Watt] on his 3rd sack of the game!”

Bryan is a devout follower of the Steel Curtain Network, FFSN’s Pittsburgh Steelers podcast feed and website, and registered for the tickets as soon as he heard about it on the Steel Curtain Network podcasts.

“I’m so ecstatic!” Bryan said when it finally sank in he was going to the game this Sunday. Be on the lookout for a follow-up with Bryan and his experience at Acrisure Stadium this Sunday, as well as a spot on one of the many Steelers podcasts on the Steel Curtain Network.

Congratulations to Bryan, and we look forward to being able to deliver more giveaways like this in the near future with FFSN!
