🏈 Steel City Victory: 2026 NFL Draft & Pittsburgh Trivia Recap!

Pittsburgh just proved why it is one of the greatest sports cities in the world! This week on Travel Trivia, we celebrated the record-breaking 2026 NFL Draft, where an incredible 805,000 fans flooded the streets of the North Shore and Point State Park to witness history.

From the banks of the Allegheny River to the top of Mount Washington, we took a deep dive into the "City of Bridges" and its legendary football culture. Our community brought the same energy as the Draft crowd, making for some intense races and high-scoring trivia!

🏆 The Winners Circle

The competition was fierce tonight, but these legends came out on top:

Congratulations to all our winners! Whether you were racing marbles or dropping knowledge on the Three Rivers, you made the Clashy Gaming Community proud.

🧠 Steel City Trivia: What You Missed

We covered everything from historic inclines to the newest members of the NFL. Here are the highlights:

  • The Draft Milestone: Pittsburgh officially snatched the crown from Detroit, setting a new all-time attendance record with over 805,000 attendees!

  • Primanti Bros. Secret: This local staple is famous for putting fries and coleslaw inside the sandwich. Pro tip for travelers: you can order the "insides" in a bowl if you are gluten-free!

  • Mr. Irrelevant 2026: LB Red Murdock from Buffalo was the final pick (257th overall) by the Denver Broncos. He now heads to Newport Beach for his week-long celebration!

  • Bridge King: Pittsburgh has 446 bridges within city limits. That is more than Venice, Italy!

  • Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood: You can visit the original puppets and sneakers of Pittsburgh native Fred Rogers at the Heinz History Center.

✈️ Ready to Experience the Steel City for Yourself?

You do not need to wait for the Draft to visit Pittsburgh! Whether you want to catch a game at PNC Park (voted the best ballpark in America!), ride the Duquesne Incline, or explore the Heinz History Center, there is so much to see.

Welcome to Travel Wives

We’re so glad you found us! We’re Kahla and Shannon, sisters-in-law who share one big thing in common… we’re both married to travel agents. And just to clear up the confusion right away, no, we aren’t married to each other! Our husbands, Cameron and Derek, are part of Olson Travel Group, Dream Vacations , and while they’re busy booking dream getaways for other people, we’re here to share what it’s really like living the “travel life.” What you’ll find here The trips we get to take (like our upcoming cruise on Royal Caribbean’s Jewel of the Seas ). The trips we wish we were on (because let’s be real, travel agents often book other people’s vacations while we stay home). The hilarious behind-the-scenes stories that don’t make it into the glossy brochures. Honest reviews, packing tips, and plenty of cocktails-and-carry-on moments. This blog is an extension of our new podcast, Travel Wives , where we chat about all things travel, family, and the ups and downs of being ...

Our Deep Dive Recap: Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas

The TravelWives are officially back on shore! We're Shannon and Kahla, and we're here to give you all the specific, must-know, sometimes-hilarious details about our sailing on Royal Caribbean’s Jewel of the Seas. This trip was the perfect mix of relaxation, amazing food, and learning a few cruise hacks along the way. Pre-Cruise Perfection: Hollywood Beach is a Must Let’s start with the non-negotiable step: the pre-cruise stay. Cruising out of Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) is easy, but you absolutely have to fly in the night before. Kathleen and Kahla arrived early and stayed right in Hollywood Beach, FL. Seriously, book it! The area is fantastic, the Broadwalk is a whole vibe, and you can practically taste the ocean air already. It’s the best way to kick off a vacation and avoid travel day stress. Hollywood Beach Fl for the win, every single time! The Good, The Gluten-Free, and The Great Service The ship's service was outstanding, especially when it came to dining: Gl...
