NFL Draft fan registration now open for 2026 draft in Pittsburgh
WILL LOOK LIKE, WILL ENCOMPASS BOTH POINT STATE PARK AND ACRISURE STADIUM. TAKE A LOOK. HERE’S YOUR FIRST LOOK AT THAT DRAFT STAGE, WHICH WILL BE ALONGSIDE ACRISURE STADIUM FACING PNC PARK AND STAGE ON THE CITY’S NORTH SHORE. NOW, THE STAGE WILL BE THE MAIN CENTER OF ACTIVITY. THE NFL DRAFT EXPERIENCE, WHICH IS A FAN INTERACTIVE AREA, WILL BE ACROSS THE ALLEGHENY RIVER IN POINT STATE PARK ONCE AGAIN. NOW BACK TO THE STAGE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT AND VISIT PITTSBURGH CEO TELLS ME IT WILL HAVE A FAMILIAR LOOK. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO FOLLOW THE DRAFT EVERY YEAR. WHAT WE’VE SEEN IN THE DRAWING SO FAR IS THAT IT’S VERY SIMILAR TO THE SAME DRAFT STAGE THAT WE WOULD HAVE HAD IN DETROIT. IT’S A MUCH MORE ROUND EXTERIOR STRUCTURE, AND THEY DO THAT TO BE ABLE TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY’RE MAXIMIZING THE CAPACITY INSIDE THE STAGE PAVILION ITSELF. AND HERE IN PITTSBURGH, THEY’VE GOT THE ABILITY TO STRETCH THE STAGE OUT A LITTLE BIT MORE BECAUSE OF THE SITE ITSELF. SO THE DESIGN THAT YOU’RE GOING TO SEE HERE IN PITTSBURGH IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT YOU’LL SEE OR WOULD HAVE SEEN IN DETROIT, BY THE WAY, YOU CAN SEE THE ENTIRE DRAFT, EVERY SELECTION LIVE FROM PITTSBURGH RIGHT HERE ON WTAE CHANNEL 4, APRIL 23RD THROUGH THE 25TH. NOW, SHANNON FANS WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS BOTH VENUES ARE TWO WAYS TO DO THAT, EITHER TAKING THE LONG WAY, WALKING TO THE BRIDGE, GOING ACROSS IS GOING TO BE PEDESTRIAN ONLY FOR THE DRAFT OR THIS IS KIND OF COOL. TAKE THE GATEWAY CLIPPER, WHICH WILL BE GOING BETWEEN THE POINT AND THE NORTH SHORE ALL DURING THE NFL DRAFT. IT’S MY FAVORITE WAY TO GET TO A STEELER GAME
