Glendale, Pittsburgh Mayors Make A Bet
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: January 30, 2009
Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs has thrown down a wager to Pittsburgh Mayor Luke Ravenstahl.
If the Arizona Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, a cactus must be planted outside Heinz Field to remind Pittsburgh fans of the desert underdog's victory.
If the Steelers win, Glendale officials agree to plant a tree that is native to Pennsylvania, such as a dogwood, elderberry or red oak.
That may be a safe bet with University of Phoenix Stadium's horticultural history. In the dome's first year, about 120 sycamores couldn't survive the Arizona heat, shriveling on the Great Lawn.
Glendale officials say they can keep such a tree alive, and gardeners assure them a San Pedro cactus can survive a Pittsburgh winter.
