MEMORANDUM

Posted: May 23, 2024 11:28 AM
From: Senator Wayne D. Fontana
To: All Senate members
Subject: Recognizing the City of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Steelers for being selected as the host of the 2026 NFL Draft
 
This week, the NFL confirmed that Pittsburgh has been selected to host one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year: the 2026 NFL Draft. As the birthplace of football, Pittsburgh has rich sports legacy that will be on full display as we welcome hundreds of thousands of fans to the City of Champions.

The NFL Draft marks a full circle moment for the city and its namesake team the Pittsburgh Steelers, as the beginning of what would become the first NFL Draft which took place in 1936 at the first Player Selections Meeting at the Fort Pitt Hotel in Downtown Pittsburgh. Ironically, this announcement also comes as the Pittsburgh Steelers celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 1974 draft class, considered the greatest in league history, when the Steelers drafted four future Pro Football Hall of Famers.

Please join me in recognizing the City of Pittsburgh and the Pittsburgh Steelers for being selected as the host of the 2026 NFL Draft.
 



Introduced as SR309
