Steelers, Packers fans cheer teams on

DAPHNE, Alabama (WALA) - Sunday, local businesses got a rush of fans coming in to watch Super Bowl XLV.

Walking into Bentz's Pizza in Daphne, you would swear you were in Pittsburgh. The restaurant is always decked out in gold and black, but on Sunday so were the fans.

Everyone inside the restaurant was decked out in Steelers gear. At the end of the bar a few Packers fans formed their own, much smaller, Green Bay cheering section.

Owner and Pittsburgh native Mary Beth Bentz said she was thrilled with the turn out.

"It's just exactly what we expected. We have exactly the crowd we expected and we are just excited to share this with everyone," said Bentz.

Even though she was miles away from the game and her favorite team, she said there was nowhere she would rather be than the pizza pub.

"We have spent so much time building these relationships with all of the people that are here and I couldn't think of a better way to spend it," said Bentz.

Just a few miles down the road, Baumhower's Restaurant also had a huge turn out for the game, but it was a much more diverse crowd.

Shane Hauge was there watching the game with some friends. His team, the Packers, had an early lead. He predicted they would keep it and go on to win.

"The packers will win by 14," said Hauge.

Back at Bentz's Pizza, Zoltan Varga saw a much different outcome.

"I've been a Steeler fan since I was a little child, so I came up from a product of the 70s. So it's just going to make me feel that much better to see them gain fame," said Varga.

But even with a Steeler loss, he had pride in his team.

"Were still number one, no matter what," said Varga.

Regardless of the outcome, the fans all had a great time watching and cheering for their favorite teams.
