Pittsburgh Steelers issue statement ahead of Donald Trump visit to Acrisure Stadium
The Pittsburgh Steelers are making preparations for former United States President Donald Trump to attend Sunday night’s game against the New York Jets. The team released a statement to fans about security measures that will be taken to accommodate the Secret Service for the safety of all.
“With former President Trump expected to attend Sunday night’s games as a guest of an individual suite holder, we are working with Secret Service and local authorities to ensure the safety of all our fans,” the team wrote. “As always, we will work to make the fan experience the same as it always is for every Steelers home game at Acrisure Stadium.
“We encourage fans to arrive early to the parking lots and to the gates so that they can enjoy our pregame experience and our celebrations throughout the game that will honor the 50th anniversary of our Super Bowl IX team.”
Trump is set to hold a rally Saturday evening in nearby Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on Saturday evening. With the 2024 US elections set to take place in November, he’ll now make an appearance at an NFL game in a pivotal swing state.
The Steelers are coming off of a 32-13 win against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6 to improve their record to 4-2. Kickoff against the Jets is set for 8:20 p.m. ET on Sunday evening and the game will be televised on NBC.
