"We're all like devastated," Nick Hoban said after the game. Hoban, who lives on the South Side, said he already had purchased six airline tickets, six Super Bowl tickets and several Jacksonville, Fla., hotel rooms for him, his two sons and three nephews. Total cost: $25,000.

"It's all we talked about," he said of the Steelers and the chance to go to the Super Bowl. "We ate it, slept it and drank it."
