Acrisure Stadium To Host Super Bowl FanFest

PITTSBURGH, PA — The Steelers are a longshot at best to reach Super Bowl LIX, but even if they don't football fans will have a chance to watch the big game at a day-long event on the Acrisure Stadium scoreboard.

The first Verizon Super Bowl FanFest will bring the game to all 30 NFL cities across the country. In Pittsburgh, the 4:30 p.m.-10 p.m. event will include local food and beverage, live entertainment, interactive games for people of all ages and, of course, the actual football game between the AFC and NFC champions.

In Pittsburgh, the fan fest will include a meet-and-greet with Santonio Holmes, who was named Super Bowl XLIII MVP with his spectacular catch with 42 seconds left in the game to give the Steelers a 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

“Super Bowl LIX is the most anticipated sporting event of the year but few get to experience it in person; we wanted to bring that collective excitement and energy to fans across the country with once-in-a-lifetime access they’ll never forget," Leslie Berland, Verizon executive vice president and chief marketing officer, said in a statement.

The event is free, but tickets require Verizon service to preregister at VerizonFanFest.com. Verizon customers can use their tickets to bring friends along no matter which cell provider they have.
