Updated: 3:00 PM EDT May 8, 2024
HERE AHEAD NEAR 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE YOUR OKAY. THANKS, BRIAN IN DETROIT HOSTED THIS YEAR’S NFL DRAFT AND SET AN ATTENDANCE RECORD. GREEN BAY GETS THE SPORTING EVENT IN 2025. COULD IT BE PITTSBURGH’S TURN NEXT? THE STEEL CITY HAS MADE ITS BID TRYING TO BRING THE DRAFT HERE IN 2026 OR 2027? ONLY ON FOR PITTSBURGH’S ACTION SPORTS DIRECTOR ANDREW STOCKEY JOINS US LIVE. AND YOU GOT THE NFL SIDE OF THE STORY RIGHT. IT’S ALWAYS NICE TO HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING THE BIG DECISIONS. SO WE DID TALK WITH THEM THIS WEEK. OF COURSE, PITTSBURGH IS ANXIOUSLY AWAITING TO SEE IF HE’LL HOST THE DRAFT IN EITHER 2026 OR 2027. ONLY ON FOUR. WE ARE HEARING FROM THE LEAGUE ITSELF FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME ON WHERE PITTSBURGH’S BID STANDS RIGHT NOW. WE’RE THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE TODAY THAT THE 2025 NFL DRAFT WILL TAKE PLACE IN GREEN BAY IN AND AROUND LAMBEAU FIELD IN TITLETOWN PETER O’REILLY ONE YEAR AGO, WITH THE GOOD NEWS FOR GREEN BAY FOOTBALL FANS TO TONIGHT, THE NFL’S VICE PRESIDENT FOR LEAGUE EVENTS SAYS PITTSBURGH IS ON THE SHORT LIST FOR 2026. THERE ARE, YOU KNOW, MORE THAN 20 CLUBS, CITIES WHO ARE INTERESTED IN HOSTING THE DRAFT THAT’S BEEN WINNOWED DOWN, OBVIOUSLY, AND THE STEELERS ARE PART OF A SMALL SUBSET OR PITTSBURGH HAS STARTED PART OF A SMALL SUBSET. O’REILLY SAYS THE NFL DRAFT IS UNLIKE ANYTHING THE LEAGUE PUTS ON. IT REQUIRES A COLLABORATE EFFORT. THAT VISION THAT LOCAL AND CLEARLY THE SUPPORT THAT IS NEEDS TO BE THERE FROM THE HOST TEAM. IN THIS CASE, THE STEELERS, AND THEN FROM THE CITY, THE COUNTY AND THE STATE. SO YOU KNOW THAT, UM, THERE’S REAL ENERGY AROUND MAKING IT SUCCESSFUL. IT’S UNIQUE. BASICALLY GREAT PARTNERS AND A GREAT VISION. AND WHAT IS THAT VISION FOR THE DRAFT IN PITTSBURGH? I ASKED THE STEELERS TEAM PRESIDENT, WHAT IS YOUR VISION FOR THE DRAFT HERE IN PITTSBURGH? I MEAN, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE? UH, A LOT OF PEOPLE, NUMBER ONE, I THINK IT WOULD PROBABLY BE THE BIGGEST VISITOR EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF THE CITY. THE FULL VISION STILL A SECRET, BUT WE KNOW IT WILL NOT BE INSIDE ACRISURE STADIUM. THE MAIN STAGE WILL BE ELSEWHERE, BUT WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE AND SEVERAL CITY VENUES WILL HOST ACTIVITIES BOTH BEFORE AND DURING DRAFT WEEKEND. I THINK THE I LOVE THE WAY THE STEELERS THINK ABOUT IT, BECAUSE IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE DRAFT ITSELF. HOW DO YOU USE THE SPOTLIGHT OF THE DRAFT AND THOSE DAYS AND THE YEARS LEADING UP TO SUPPORT THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT IN THE COMMUNITY? YOUTH FOOTBALL, FLAG FOOTBALL, THE COMMUNITY PROJECTS, HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL? NFL OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN HERE IN RECENT WEEKS TRYING TO SEE IF THE LOCAL VISION TRANSLATES FOR THIS NATIONAL EVENT, OSTENSIBLY, BUT WE ARE PART OF THAT. UM, THAT WORK, ANDREW, BECAUSE WE WE’VE WE’VE TAKEN MULTIPLE TRIPS TO PITTSBURGH BECAUSE, UM, AND THE, THE, OUR PARTNERS AT THE STEELERS AND OTHERWISE HAVE COME TO PREVIOUS DRAFT EVENTS AND SEEN WHAT WE DO THERE BECAUSE YOU CAN SEE IT ON TV. BUT UNTIL YOU ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE IT UM YOU DON’T. REALLY KNOW. ALL RIGHT. LET’S SAY PITTSBURGH DOES GET THE DRAFT IN 2026. WHEN DO YOU BECOME INVOLVED ON THE GROUND HERE IN PITTSBURGH? SETTING THAT UP. AND WHAT DO YOU DO ONCE YOU’RE HERE? IF PITTSBURGH TO BE AWARDED, WE WOULD WE WOULD DIG IN RIGHT AWAY. OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE A FEW DRAFTS TO GO BEFORE, UH, YOU KNOW, WE’RE IN GREEN BAY IN 2025, SO YOU’RE MORE FOCUSED THERE. BUT IT’S A MULTI YEAR PROCESS, TYPICALLY ABOUT A TWO YEAR PROCESS THAT YOU’RE WORKING. ONCE A CITY IS AWARDED AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE TRIPS INTO THE CITY ALONG WITH THE EXCITEMENT, COME THE THINGS YOU JUST CANNOT PLAN FOR OUTDOORS IN PITTSBURGH IN LATE APRIL. ARE THERE RISKS? SURE, WEATHER IS A RISK. WE’RE COMING TO PARTS OF THE COUNTRY THAT YOU KNOW, IT’S IT’S APRIL AND IT’S NOT ALWAYS BALMY, BUT IT’S FOOTBALL WEATHER AND YOU ADJUST AND FANS ARE TOUGH AND YOU CREATE A GREAT EXPERIENCE. UM, THAT’S FUN AND ACCESSIBLE. THAT GOES BEYOND JUST THE COMMISSIONER COMING OUT, READING A NAME ON A CARD. THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF WHO GETS THE 2026 DRAFT COMES NEXT MONTH. IF IT DOES COME TO THE STEEL CITY VISIT, PITTSBURGH ESTIMATES THE ECONOMIC IMPACT CO
