The Steelers and the city are trying to bring the NFL Draft to Pittsburgh. NewsRadio KDKA's Shelby Cassesse has the story: The Steelers confirmed they have partnered with the city of Pittsburgh to submit a request to host the draft in either 2026 or 2027. Team spokesperson Burt Lauten told the Big K Morning Show it's been a long time coming. There likely won't be answer until owners meetings in May. The draft will be in Detroit next year and Green Bay in 2025. The last time Pittsburgh hosted a draft in pro sports was in 2012. The NHL draft at the then-named Consol Energy Center.
