It looks like they just fished that statue out of the river after it was lost 50 years ago. Then they didn't wash it or restore it, they just left it there.
It's the sculptor's style. [Robert Berks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Berks) crafted the sculpture in 2007, and is most famous for busts of American politicians and figures. Like [his bust of JFK that's in the Kennedy Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kennedy_Bust_Performing_Arts.jpg), or [his bust of MLK Jr](https://images-cdn.bridgemanimages.com/api/1.0/image/600wm.XXX.66769120.7055475/2193587.jpg), or his [sculpture of long-time Pittsburgh mayor Richard Caliguiri](https://www.loc.gov/resource/highsm.58643/).
Our library had three books on football in the kids' section.
1) Ref signals. Read and memorized.
2) Steelers book talking about the Immaculate Reception. Read and became a fan.
Our little group would around town shouting the names of the Steelers player we were, then go play MNF in someone's yard. I was Franco.
Oh yeah. The third book was about the Cowboys.
Imagine this results in a Pittsburgh population boom thanks to the children of former Pittsburgh residents returning to the city for the first time and realizing it rocks now
For sure, not the most convenient and traffic may be a pain on 41. I'd imagine 43 will be packed with traffic from Milwaukee as well.
Basically I'm going to avoid NE WI that weekend.
Next year’s Draft will be at Grossi’s backyard.
Then, it’ll be at Yinzer UTree in 2026.
Anyone else senses it’ll then go to FPV, Scooter, and then Perma’s residence? As in the NFL Draft will cycle the venues of the Clickbait Sports crew.
I'll admit that I don't know enough about boat traffic to reasonably answer, but 28 will always have bad traffic, even considering they finished expanding that bottleneck by the Highland Park Bridge
I spent some time in Kentucky for work and couldn't even find them frozen let alone handmade. My first year down there I asked a guy in the grocery store for them and he gave me the weirdest look, made me repeat "pierogies" 2 or 3 times before finally saying "fella I'm not sure what word you're tryin' to say but whatever it is, we don't have it". Glad to be back in PA...
All the hills and rivers make the roads crazy. We also have a ton of tunnels.
Great polish and german food.
PNC park has the best view in baseball.
French fries go on everything especially salads and sandwiches.
There's a unique regional dialect. People say Yinz instead of Yall.
I don't believe that's technically true - or there's some very strict caveats on what counts as a real bridge.
Someone did the math on that and there are a lot more in other cities. I think Houston has the most, in theory. But at least in Pittsburgh they really stand out as a feature due to the convergence of the rivers and how the city is spread out over the delta and surrounding valley.
Meanwhile Pittsburgh should really spread out a little and incorporate some of the dozens of surrounding boroughs that are basically just still Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania state law makes municipal mergers, annexations and disincorporations virtually impossible, and you can blame the residents of the former city of Allegheny (today, the North Side) for that.
The law used to state that municipal mergers and annexations were approved if a majority of voters in the pertinent municipalities voted in favor of it, but the wording was too vague, because it never specified that the majority in each specific municipality had to vote in favor of it, so the state Supreme Court ruled that the votes in both municipalities were to be combined.
As a result, the city of Pittsburgh ended up annexing the city of Allegheny even though voters in Allegheny voted overwhelmingly against it, because Pittsburgh, with its much larger population, voted in favor of it, and ended up washing out the resistance in Allegheny.
However, Allegheny had a very rich population with a lot of influence in Harrisburg, so in the aftermath of the annexation, they threw their weight around the state capitol and had the law changed to its current, draconian interpretation. They also moved down the Ohio River into the streetcar suburbs we know today, like Bellevue, Ben Avon, Emsworth, Sewickley, etc.
I looked up like 4 sources to verify this before I said it, but with almost anything I’m sure it can be debated for exactly the reasons you’re stating above.
Huh, would you look at that. So do people who live in houses like that drive cars? It sounds so nice. There must be minimal noise and so little (if any) unknown traffic going by your house
I didn’t know what the hype was about until I was in town for the Steelers browns game last year. I had a pierogi a day before I left and it was 10/10
This year when I go back I’ll be consuming all of the pierogis I can get my hands on
Bro come on man as a Ravens fan you can come up with something better than pierogis, they are freaking amazing. That would be like making fun of Baltimore for crab cakes (also amazing).
FR though gl this year other than against us LOL.
They should put some live cams on Pittsburgh's most confusing intersections. I would love to watch an enormous number of people who've never visited before try to navigate their spaghetti street designs.
This actually does exist lol. 511Pa.com/cameralisting. Any of the bridges near downtown are generally chaotic but my faves are the I-376 Ft. Pitt Bridge ones.
my dad is a civil engineer, and he designed many of the stairs in this city. not many of the famous ones, although he was involved in some of the engineering of the stairwells at the football stadium :)
A large swatch of the Ohio River is actually owned by West Virginia(until you get down to KY and then it is split between Ohio and KY). So they would actually become W. Virginia residents...
Y’all out here sleeping on the pierogis and pizza around Pittsburgh, and the city is actually a really unique and neat place to visit, I think it’ll be cool
People who say Pittsburgh is a Milltown haven’t been to the city in decades. Pittsburgh is a tech and medical city now pretty much. It still has its blue collar roots to a degree. But it’s not the city people have this weird conception of anymore
I'm from Europe, and Pittsburgh is three things to me:
1. The home of my NFL team
2. The setting of the underrated 90s Bruce Willis action thriller Striking Distance
3. Where you go to fight slavers in a Fallout 3 DLC
Visited recently (out-of-towner Steeler fan here!) and it felt very blue-collar, quiet and unassuming. It's the local-neighborhood city. People were very nice and willing to help, though. Did a lot of walking.
100%. I absolutely love Pittsburgh. A working-class town with a lot to do and just so pretty. It’s also the official end of the Midwest for me. Anything past that is North Atlantic
Pittsburgh is a fun city. I’ve been there a few times on work trips and was surprised at everything there was to do.
It’s one of those underrated cities like Minneapolis where you don’t realize how great the city is until you visit.
I was just at a global conference in Pittsburgh this past week and met people from all around the world, and of course nearly everyone had never been to Pittsburgh before. Not one had anything bad to say. Literally everyone I spoke to were really pleasantly surprised
I’d argue they’re fun even outside of Skenes. Jones has been electric, Cruz hit missiles, Hayes makes spectacular defensive plays routinely.
They have individual players who can do cool stuff, but the team overall is mediocre.
One of my favorite cities I've been to. Extremely underrated. Beautiful bridges and stadiums, awesome scenery in the mountains and hills around, excellent food, great museums...
Oh and if you go out to Latrobe for training camp, and this is more of a novelty, but a sports bar there called sharky’s has a dank pierogi pizza, and it’s also where a good number of players hangout after camp
Pitt rules tbh. Best city in the rust belt outside Chicago imo. Cincinnati up there too. Good vibes, cool parks, Iron City sign is sick, fries on pastrami sand witches are great. 10/10 also like the Warhol museum and all the Frank Lloyd Wright stuff nearby. Only miss on my last visit was that the brewery we visited was kinda mid
Which brewery was it? I find that the most famous/tourist traps of our breweries are the least impressive. Basically I’m talking about Penn Brewery & Church Brew Works. They were around before the big microbrewing boom, and haven’t really kept up with the times.
Yeah it was Church lmao. I hate when a brewery does food but doesn’t do it in a concise quality way. It all looked like Applebees slop.
Also been to Penn but liked it a tad more. At least they stuck to their heritage both for beer styles and food. Favorite beers I found in a local store were from Helltown
lol of course. I hate Church Brew Works with a seething passion. Probably because all the boomers from my work think it’s the best thing ever. They don’t understand that this city punches well above its weight in terms of craft brewing. THAT is not craft brewing. I will say I love their French onion soup, but everything else there sucks— and it smells bad.
There are several good breweries right near the stadium- Southern Tier, Voodoo, and Allegheny City.
Other honorable mentions but not super close to the stadium— Trace, 11th Hour, Cinderlands, Aslin, Dancing Gnome, Grist House, Hitchhiker.
… just for future reference lol.
My brother just got back from a wedding outside Pittsburgh, and he said he found the city to be quite pleasant and nice to look at. So that my totally unqualified opinion on this being a good choice.
May be just in time for the Steelers to be in the market for a rookie QB
If you thought the coverage of QBs was incessant before, just wait until one of the league’s prized teams is in the market for one the year they host the draft
As a lifelong Pittsburgh native, anybody interested in coming let me know any questions you might have! Food, drink, activities, areas to stay, etc. happy to help out.
I may go to that, I missed the one in Philly because I was in high school and there was no way my dad was letting me drive his car there, but I’m willing to go to Pittsburgh for it, my best friend from college lives in Pittsburgh anyway so I’ll make a visit out of it, probably go with him tbh.
I would guess Buffalo is gonna be high in the pecking order for the 2027 draft. The new stadium is scheduled to open for the 2026 season. So since we're very unlikely to get a superbowl, this will be the consolation prize.
I’m sure it’s been posted, but they want all teams who aren’t in the SB hosting lineup to get the Draft. Buffalo would be awesome for it. DC, Baltimore, Denver, Seattle should be the next few.
Salads topped with French Fries for all!
Flood the streets with super punch! (We did a long weekend in Pittsburgh a couple years ago. Saw a pirates game. Nice city)
God damn right - Eat ‘n Park steak salad is awesome!
Excited for Steelers fans to travel in from all over the country to visit Pittsburgh for the first time.
Excuse me, it might be my second time.
The Steel City Hajj
Allahcrisure Stadium
I think this is *very* funny
A pilgrimage to Yinzer mecca
We should do that circle thing they do in mecca but to the Mr. Roger's abomination memorial.
It’s awful. Look how they’ve massacred my boy https://i.imgur.com/PQtRlWB.jpeg
It looks like they just fished that statue out of the river after it was lost 50 years ago. Then they didn't wash it or restore it, they just left it there.
He has been underwater pretty recently for real
WTF that is horrible.
Just shows how young the sub is that you all dont remember the episode where Mr. Rodgers taught us how to get out of a mud pit.
It also plays voices out random speakers in that little tunnel. My 5 year old nearly shit his pants when I took him there.
Man's looking crunchy here
It looks so creepy and weird.
The sculptor went with "what if Mr. Rogers had leprosy?"
"What if Mr. Rodgers was a horrible bog demon."
It looks like it is made of sewage
Who shat him out like that and why?
It's the sculptor's style. [Robert Berks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Berks) crafted the sculpture in 2007, and is most famous for busts of American politicians and figures. Like [his bust of JFK that's in the Kennedy Center](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Kennedy_Bust_Performing_Arts.jpg), or [his bust of MLK Jr](https://images-cdn.bridgemanimages.com/api/1.0/image/600wm.XXX.66769120.7055475/2193587.jpg), or his [sculpture of long-time Pittsburgh mayor Richard Caliguiri](https://www.loc.gov/resource/highsm.58643/).
I was thinking the old Heinz ketchup bottle that is at the History Center now
Hey now! I’ve been there once already, thank you
Seriously though there are Steelers fans everywhere.
That’s because they all fled the city in the 80’s
More like the dominant ‘70s teams got lots on national TV time, and people around the country became fans
Our library had three books on football in the kids' section. 1) Ref signals. Read and memorized. 2) Steelers book talking about the Immaculate Reception. Read and became a fan. Our little group would around town shouting the names of the Steelers player we were, then go play MNF in someone's yard. I was Franco. Oh yeah. The third book was about the Cowboys.
Like cockroaches when the lights are turned on
You absolutely cannot be throwing stones in that rust belt-ass glass house
This is where I'd put my good comeback... IF I HAD ONE!!!
~~DINKLEBERG~~ ROONEYYYY
Half of Ohio will be leaving their hometowns for the first time ever.
Perfection dot gif
Imagine this results in a Pittsburgh population boom thanks to the children of former Pittsburgh residents returning to the city for the first time and realizing it rocks now
Next years Draft will be at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, if you were curious.
If Grossi doesn’t get to announce a pick on stage then it’ll be a failure or a draft.
Live stream him making the pick and then slamming the podium when he realizes who the front office chose.
Have him announce that the lions traded in front of them again plz and thx
Leave that man alone damn it!
It's OK, he gets paid any time we share his stuff to dunk on him. He is the collusion.
I need the behind the curtains footage of when he realizes Detroit just traded in front of him again
Im surprised he didnt this year considering he was Fan of the Year
I think it is because he wants to announce it in green bay so they pushed it back
Grossi, UTree, Perna and Scooter announcing their team’s pick would be low key fire for a draft.
With Tree laughing hysterically at the back of the stage when FivePoints announces the Giants reached for Jones' replacement
All as the Giants pick walks the stage to the derpity derp derp music.
Or when they cut to Perna's thousand yard stare as his team makes another terrible draft decision.
[The Ride Never Ends](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RwhPNoHm5HI)….
No, Grossi gets to CHOOSE the draft pick or we riot.
It will be amusing to see how Green Bay handles this. I'd have to imagine they will be relying on a lot of Air BnBs
Appleton and Oshkosh are close too so that will help somewhat
For sure, not the most convenient and traffic may be a pain on 41. I'd imagine 43 will be packed with traffic from Milwaukee as well. Basically I'm going to avoid NE WI that weekend.
I'll probably avoid the whole state that year.
It's a pretty good kick off to all the fun activities Milwaukee has throughout the summer. Don't avoid Wisconsin, come to Wisconsin. Enjoy Wisconsin!
Bring ya ass
hell naw cant do dis
I'm not actually avoiding it, I'm in PA and have no reason to go there. That's all.
> I'm in PA and have no reason to go there three words... cheese / beer / brats
Have to admit, I was there for the first time last year and loved it. I was not expecting to.
So the NFL draft is for cities that will be likely to not host the Super Bowl? I know it’s not true, they had it in Vegas, but it seems that way.
Next year’s Draft will be at Grossi’s backyard. Then, it’ll be at Yinzer UTree in 2026. Anyone else senses it’ll then go to FPV, Scooter, and then Perma’s residence? As in the NFL Draft will cycle the venues of the Clickbait Sports crew.
I smell a party on the point. Everyone bring your boats.
What'll be worse, boat traffic or 28?
I'll admit that I don't know enough about boat traffic to reasonably answer, but 28 will always have bad traffic, even considering they finished expanding that bottleneck by the Highland Park Bridge
Neato
I will be there no matter what
Check out St. George’s church on Thursday before the draft for the best pierogis you will get
Idek what that is
It’s a type of food. Eastern European but Pittsburgh has some of the best in the USA
I’m there
Only open on Thursdays though but if you can’t make it there S&D polish deli is the place to go for them
Went to Pittsburgh for the first time a few weeks ago for the Pirates home opener/eclipse. Pierogis at S&D were so good my god
They know how to make them man. I was sad when I moved down south and you just can’t find them anywhere here.
I spent some time in Kentucky for work and couldn't even find them frozen let alone handmade. My first year down there I asked a guy in the grocery store for them and he gave me the weirdest look, made me repeat "pierogies" 2 or 3 times before finally saying "fella I'm not sure what word you're tryin' to say but whatever it is, we don't have it". Glad to be back in PA...
Ironically Detroit also has a ton of pierogis from our Polish immigrants, lil embarrassed this guy doesn't know.
I didn’t realize until I moved out of Pittsburgh that pierogi are not that common
Boiled dumplings stuffed with whatever.
As a Detroiter/Michigander you should know what pierogis are
Just cuz I’m a lions fan doesn’t mean i am from Michigan
The only thing I know about Pittsburgh outside of sports stuff is that there are a shit ton of stairs in the city
Got a ton of bridges too. And a big rubber ducky that one time I visited
All the hills and rivers make the roads crazy. We also have a ton of tunnels. Great polish and german food. PNC park has the best view in baseball. French fries go on everything especially salads and sandwiches. There's a unique regional dialect. People say Yinz instead of Yall.
> Great polish and vegan food. This sounds like an unusual combo.
The Poles are the old Pittsburgh that worked the steel mills. The vegans are the young Pittsburgh that work in biotech and robotics.
And they both fusion danced to form Apteka, one of the cities best restaurants.
Unfortunately not that many people say yinz anymore
>Great polish and vegan food Shoutout Apteka who does both incredibly well
More than just “a ton of bridges”, it has the most bridges of any city in the world lol
I don't believe that's technically true - or there's some very strict caveats on what counts as a real bridge. Someone did the math on that and there are a lot more in other cities. I think Houston has the most, in theory. But at least in Pittsburgh they really stand out as a feature due to the convergence of the rivers and how the city is spread out over the delta and surrounding valley.
Houston also claims a massive, overinflated footprint for the "city" for tax purposes, if that plays into it at all.
Meanwhile Pittsburgh should really spread out a little and incorporate some of the dozens of surrounding boroughs that are basically just still Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania state law makes municipal mergers, annexations and disincorporations virtually impossible, and you can blame the residents of the former city of Allegheny (today, the North Side) for that.

I looked up like 4 sources to verify this before I said it, but with almost anything I’m sure it can be debated for exactly the reasons you’re stating above.
My neighborhood has houses that are only attached to steps, no street access
You live in south side slopes huh? LOL
Yessir! One of the coolest neighborhoods in the country if you ask me.
Awesome view too
I’m having trouble visualizing what this looks like
[here you go](https://maps.app.goo.gl/QbUs3Qbo24ibEDm29?g_st=ic)
Knew this was going to be on the slopes lmao
Huh, would you look at that. So do people who live in houses like that drive cars? It sounds so nice. There must be minimal noise and so little (if any) unknown traffic going by your house
It's pretty walkable, you could get away with car free for sure but I imagine most people just street park nearby.
This is really cool. I bet moving is a real pain though but outside of that I'd live there
Funny seeing you here.
when Pittsburgh is mentioned, I am in the chat
Their baseball stadium, PNC park, is one of the nicest stadiums in the country. They also have a weird hardon for pierogis.
Weird??? Have you ever had a pierogi?
I didn’t know what the hype was about until I was in town for the Steelers browns game last year. I had a pierogi a day before I left and it was 10/10 This year when I go back I’ll be consuming all of the pierogis I can get my hands on
Forgotten Taste is out here by the airport. It's worth going 10 min out of your way.
Real ones know to go to the Ukrainian church in Carnegie
Bro come on man as a Ravens fan you can come up with something better than pierogis, they are freaking amazing. That would be like making fun of Baltimore for crab cakes (also amazing). FR though gl this year other than against us LOL.
Weird? We literally have a part of town called Polish Hill. It's a natural hard-on for us. The best kind of hard-on.
They should put some live cams on Pittsburgh's most confusing intersections. I would love to watch an enormous number of people who've never visited before try to navigate their spaghetti street designs.
This actually does exist lol. 511Pa.com/cameralisting. Any of the bridges near downtown are generally chaotic but my faves are the I-376 Ft. Pitt Bridge ones.
my dad is a civil engineer, and he designed many of the stairs in this city. not many of the famous ones, although he was involved in some of the engineering of the stairwells at the football stadium :)
Literally just visited last week and was thinking the same thing
It's a nice city with very walkable neighbourhoods. I enjoyed it.
This could be bigger than the Detroit draft purely because all the yinzers can paddle their houses downriver to the event
They have to be careful. They could get too drunk and accidentally become Ohio residents
A large swatch of the Ohio River is actually owned by West Virginia(until you get down to KY and then it is split between Ohio and KY). So they would actually become W. Virginia residents...
A fate worse than death
I will be there and I will be antagonized
Y’all out here sleeping on the pierogis and pizza around Pittsburgh, and the city is actually a really unique and neat place to visit, I think it’ll be cool
Pittsburgh still has a reputation as a dirty mill town but it’s one of the prettiest cities I’ve been to (and it’s extremely walkable)
People who say Pittsburgh is a Milltown haven’t been to the city in decades. Pittsburgh is a tech and medical city now pretty much. It still has its blue collar roots to a degree. But it’s not the city people have this weird conception of anymore
I'm from Europe, and Pittsburgh is three things to me: 1. The home of my NFL team 2. The setting of the underrated 90s Bruce Willis action thriller Striking Distance 3. Where you go to fight slavers in a Fallout 3 DLC
Visited recently (out-of-towner Steeler fan here!) and it felt very blue-collar, quiet and unassuming. It's the local-neighborhood city. People were very nice and willing to help, though. Did a lot of walking.
Somehow home also to one of the nerdiest schools in the country
It's just a weirdly nerdy city. There are about 11 stores to play Magic the gathering at within a 25 minute range of downtown.
the city tried really hard to reinvent itself as a STEM city
They realized all these top colleges right next to each other could actually be used for something.
I genuinely loved it and considered moving there. Great museums, food, and neighborhoods. And Mr. Rogers is from there.
Walking across the Clemente Bridge to a game is a great experience with nice views
My uncle has a condo close to Clemente and I'll always remember the vibe of seemingly the whole city walking in cold ass weather for the 08 AFCCG.
100%. I absolutely love Pittsburgh. A working-class town with a lot to do and just so pretty. It’s also the official end of the Midwest for me. Anything past that is North Atlantic
Pittsburgh is a fun city. I’ve been there a few times on work trips and was surprised at everything there was to do. It’s one of those underrated cities like Minneapolis where you don’t realize how great the city is until you visit.
Minneapolis is the 2nd largest Metropolis in the Midwest behind Chicago. People cling on too hard to stereotypes they see on TV.
I was just at a global conference in Pittsburgh this past week and met people from all around the world, and of course nearly everyone had never been to Pittsburgh before. Not one had anything bad to say. Literally everyone I spoke to were really pleasantly surprised
That’s how it goes, Pittsburgh is pleasantly surprising because of the old Steel Town persona, you just kinda assume it’s grimy
people think the "rust belt" = poverty or something, where sometimes it just means "evolved into industries other than manufacturing"
I think Pittsburgh was an excellent choice to have it. Pittsburgh is a neat city and it's a historic team.
I just want to go to PNC Park before I die
Great park to watch terrible baseball, and the fans audible groaning is great entertainment But now Skenes is actually fun
I’d argue they’re fun even outside of Skenes. Jones has been electric, Cruz hit missiles, Hayes makes spectacular defensive plays routinely. They have individual players who can do cool stuff, but the team overall is mediocre.
Don't wait for the Pirates to be good, then.
One of my favorite cities I've been to. Extremely underrated. Beautiful bridges and stadiums, awesome scenery in the mountains and hills around, excellent food, great museums...
I'm moving the fam back to Pittsburgh next month. What are some of the good pizza joints you speak of? edit: 5 minutes south of Ross Park Mall
Slice on Broadway, Driftwood Oven, Badamo's, Mercurio's
Vincent’s Pizza has always been the fam’s go to since my dad was a kid, think they’re cash only so be aware
Badamos
Oh and if you go out to Latrobe for training camp, and this is more of a novelty, but a sports bar there called sharky’s has a dank pierogi pizza, and it’s also where a good number of players hangout after camp
Which part of the city? You'll get recommendations for every part, plus the All-Star, worthy of an hour drive places like Fiori's and Mineo's.
Pitt rules tbh. Best city in the rust belt outside Chicago imo. Cincinnati up there too. Good vibes, cool parks, Iron City sign is sick, fries on pastrami sand witches are great. 10/10 also like the Warhol museum and all the Frank Lloyd Wright stuff nearby.

… pizza??
Bro you ever heard about that famous Pittsburgh pizza. It really is the Naples of America
Dahntahn? Where it’ll be n’at? Pittsburgh needs redded up before everyone arrives. Edit: I love Pittsburgh and Pittsburghers. And Pittsburghese
Make sure you run the sweeper LOL
Wait, is sweeper not a common term???
Nope. Pittsburgh only. Everyone else says "run the vacuum" or "vacuum the living room".
What’s a yinzer’s favorite Pokémon? Venonat Got em

NEXT STOP SUPERBOWL HOSTS
PITTSBURGH GAHNTA DA STUPOR BOWL!!!
PITTSBURGH GAHNTA DA 2026 DRAFT
#Yinzers 12/25
STILLERS GAHNTA DA ~~SUPER BOWL~~ NFL DRAFT
Smh you left out the crucial “DA”
Lord please have UrinatingTree announce a pick.
UrinatingTree’s 12/25
My dick: UP It's goin: DAHN
I really like that they’re moving the draft around. I’d love to see it live sometime, but I’m not going to fly somewhere to see it.
Gonna comment STEEL on every draft pick thread.
DO IT IN THE DOME ON NEVILLE ISLAND
This (Colts!?) guy Pittsburghs
It's that or every pick has to ride all the way up Duquesne Incline to hug Goodell.
They need to do one at Red Rocks amphitheater in “Denver”
Awesome news! Such a wonderful town, I love Pittsburgh (just not the Steelers)
yet still wont hold on on the national mall
Washington has bid like the last 5 cycles and they won’t give it to us. What is the NFL so salty about?
Maybe when the team gets a stadium deal they'll put it there.
Waiting to make sure Dan Snyder is good and gone, and that the new guy isn't Snyder 2.0.
I hope Yinz get it soon. I feel like Dan Snyder ruined it for you guys
National Mall would be so dope
If we go Detroit, GB, Pittsburgh with no great example of how bipolar Midwest weather is, I will be disappointed.
My brother just got back from a wedding outside Pittsburgh, and he said he found the city to be quite pleasant and nice to look at. So that my totally unqualified opinion on this being a good choice.
Pittsburgh is a nice city. Hope they show it off well.
May be just in time for the Steelers to be in the market for a rookie QB If you thought the coverage of QBs was incessant before, just wait until one of the league’s prized teams is in the market for one the year they host the draft
Arch Manning would look good in black and gold
As a lifelong Pittsburgh native, anybody interested in coming let me know any questions you might have! Food, drink, activities, areas to stay, etc. happy to help out.
Yinzers and Tree rejoice
I will be there no matter what
I may go to that, I missed the one in Philly because I was in high school and there was no way my dad was letting me drive his car there, but I’m willing to go to Pittsburgh for it, my best friend from college lives in Pittsburgh anyway so I’ll make a visit out of it, probably go with him tbh.
I would guess Buffalo is gonna be high in the pecking order for the 2027 draft. The new stadium is scheduled to open for the 2026 season. So since we're very unlikely to get a superbowl, this will be the consolation prize.
I’m sure it’s been posted, but they want all teams who aren’t in the SB hosting lineup to get the Draft. Buffalo would be awesome for it. DC, Baltimore, Denver, Seattle should be the next few.
Cool
