Detroit's residents appear to support Steelers
The Seattle Seahawks were fortunate to arrive in Detroit one day ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers. It gave them an extra few hours to get used to seeing a lot of the Steelers' black and gold in Super Bowl city.
Even though the Detroit Lions' jersey is a shade of blue close to what the Seahawks wear, the color of choice this week already appears to have a Pittsburgh hue. At the airport, in the shopping malls, in Greektown -- wherever -- the only non-Lions NFL apparel seems to sport the names Bettis and Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh's running back and quarterback.
The Seahawks did get some feel for home on Sunday at the hotel where they are staying. A 12th man flag flew above the suburban Dearborn hotel, and a dozen or so fans gathered in the lobby, all of them dressed in Seattle garb.
Team owner Paul Allen also brought along one of the flags, symbolizing the encouragement of the Seahawks' supporters, on the plane ride east.
"It was nice to see that," defensive end Bryce Fisher said Sunday night. "Our fans have been with us the whole time. When we were playing Dallas and New York and all the media people were saying we were going to lose, the fans stuck by us and believed in us."
Still, the Seahawks' greeting party was far smaller than the number of people wearing Steelers jerseys (http://www.pittsburgh-jerseys.com) on the streets of downtown Detroit on Sunday -- a full week before the Super Bowl.
That doesn't bother league MVP Shaun Alexander, whose best friend doesn't even cheer for the Seahawks. He cheers for, you guessed it, the Steelers.
"He is definitely coming," Alexander said. "He'll be there, probably wearing a Pittsburgh jersey, but that's OK.

Considering that the Steelers (14-5) have won three straight road games in the playoffs, in such difficult venues as Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Denver, any sort of home-field edge in the Super Bowl might not matter. Coach Bill Cowher has furthered that mind-set by insisting his AFC champions will wear white next Sunday.
