“With our deep football roots and central location, we know fans from across the league will flock to Pittsburgh for this year’s draft,” said Dan Rooney, vice president of strategy for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
There is a temporary Steelers Pro Shop set up outside the draft footprint at 275 North Shore Drive for those who want to snag black and gold merchandise.
Fans will also be able to view all six Lombardi Super Bowl trophies on display directly across from Steelers Country at Point State Park.
Ahead of the draft, the Steelers are offering fans a chance to win a trip to Pittsburgh — and front-row seats to the draft stage — through the team’s mobile app.
Entries are open through Friday. The winner and a guest will receive two Inner Circle tickets for Day 1 of the draft, along with round-trip airfare for two and a four-night hotel stay in Downtown Pittsburgh.
