I truly appreciate the work that has been done by VisitPITTSBURGH, the NFL, local and state officials and internally within our organization to accomplish our goal of being selected to host the NFL Draft. We look forward to football fans from across the country coming to enjoy our city's culture while also showcasing our rich football history and tradition in the region."
