Beat me to it..

 

I'm glad I went to the one in Philly. This past years draft looked like you could barely move around.

Not sure if I'll go.

 

This will be my next trip home. Screw seeing family and friends, I'll be there to see the draft!!!!

 

Won't it be special when the Steelers pick last in the 1st Round of this draft?

Last time hosted by the Burgh - 1947. Overdue! Congrats Steel City!

Pardon me for possibly dragging this off topic, but am I correct in understanding that you have only been to Pittsburgh once?

 

Wonder if it'll be down at the point? Unless they have it over at the stadium.

 

I'll be there, I've been waiting for the draft to happen in Pittsburgh for a long time.

 

They spread it out to get the type of numbers for people they want

“The draft, typically held in the final week of April, will incorporate elements of Point State Park and Acrisure Stadium. Rooney said the draft itself will be outside of the stadium on the North Shore and will spill toward PNC Park and into downtown.”

Ok, we will rely on you to make sure they get a franchise QB out of the deal.

 

I’m curious about this too… Stage AE is way too small.


Philly had it outside at the Art Museum area, where they shut down some roads…huge area to hold a lot of people. Detroit had to accommodate a lot of people as well.

The parking lot and spills towards PNC Park? That doesn’t seem ideal…I think I would just hold it in the stadium.

 

I work downtown. I think I'll take off that day.


Mostly going to be in between Acrisure and PNC Park, spilling over onto the bridges and Point State Park.

Good for the Burgh!!! I didn't go when it was in Philly but knew a lot of younger guys who went and they said it's a lot of fun.

 

Now wait a damn minute. The draft is 2026. I ain't getting younger and I need that franchise QB out of the 2025 draft

How could I forget we have Fields. Maybe at 25 he comes alive and leads us for the next 10 years. OK I'm joking.

 

I have a few friends that want to visit Pittsburgh. This will be a good opportunity cause they are NFL fans as well. Yes it will be crowded but should be a very fun event if organized correctly. My biggest concern is will I have to camp out to be able to take them on the incline? They should start taking reservations now.

 

I'll be holding up a sign to draft Arch Manning.

 

I’ll be holding up a sign saying Roger Gooddell SUCKS! I’ll probably be escorted away though in a pair of shiny bracelets.

 

Maybe lightning strikes twice and we draft a franchise QB in 2026, but we keep him.

Would have to have an awful 2025 season though. Could happen if Wilson is terrible this year and we dump him, then we tank in 2025.

 

I don’t do it often but I had to give you an Against the Rules rating on that gibberish. No tanking allowed.

 

This is great for our area, I am sure the Steelers, City, county and western Pa.
Will put on a great weekend.

 

A little before my time but did not know that. Does that mean in 10 years the Steelers will re-acquire KP? JUST KIDDING!!!! I remember (I think) when Layne and Ed Brown shared QB duties in the 60's.

 

Any ideas on which hotels will be the best spots?

 

Well he'd only be a year older than Pickett was coming out of college then.
