Nearly one month after Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine announced the state had no plans to allow fans at Steelers games, the team revealed a slow return would be allowed.
Starting with their Sunday matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles, 5,500 fans will be permitted at Heinz Field.
Ben Roethlisberger said the news was welcomed not only by him but his kids.
“It will be cool,” Roethlisberger told the Pittsburgh media on Wednesday. “It will definitely be different because it’s such a small amount. Just to have some [fans] out there will be fun.”
“My kids were so excited when I told them they could go to the game. To me, that makes it worth it.”
