INDIANAPOLIS -- Pittsburgh has found its way into playing an important part in Sunday's Super Bowl game even though the Steelers did not make it.

Two of the seven-man crew of game officials, announced by the NFL today, hail from the Pittsburgh area -- head linesman Tom Stabile and back judge Tony Steratore.

Stabile and Steratore have each worked nine NFL playoff games in their careers.

Steratore, a Washington County native, has been an NFL official since 2000 following in the footsteps of his father Gene and his brother Gene Jr. Stabile, a Pittsburgh native, has worked games in the NFL since 1995.

John Parry will serve as the referee for the game between the New York Giants and New England Patriots.

Other officials working the game include umpire Carl Paganelli, line judge Gary Arthur, field judge Gary Cavaletto and side judge Laird Hayes.
