Steelers Owner Gets NFL to Move Ravens Fan Section at Pittsburgh Draft

The change highlights how the Steelers–Ravens rivalry now reaches event logistics at Acrisure Stadium.

Overview

  • Art Rooney II said he spotted a seating plan that put Ravens fans in front of Steelers fans in one draft theater section and that the NFL agreed to move them.
  • The league has not disclosed where the Ravens fan section will now be placed relative to Pittsburgh supporters.
  • Pittsburgh is hosting the NFL Draft outside Acrisure Stadium, with the Steelers holding pick No. 21 and four more selections between Nos. 53 and 99.
  • The Ravens own the No. 14 pick after backing out of a proposed trade for Raiders star Maxx Crosby, which GM Eric DeCosta said fell apart over Crosby’s physical.
  • The seating tweak comes against the backdrop of a fierce rivalry marked by last season’s Week 18 miss that sent Pittsburgh to the playoffs and by both teams changing head coaches this offseason.
