Pittsburgh Aims for Super Bowl After Record-Breaking NFL Draft

0:00On April 30, Pittsburgh just shattered the NFL draft attendance record, pulling in 805,000 fans over three days. Steel is President Art Rooney the second is writing that high, saying the city is now primed to chase a Super Bowl someday. Rooney told NFL Network they built a solid argument with the draft success. He admits it's a long shot, but refuses to close the door. Confident Pittsburgh can nail it if given the shot. Fans poured in from around the world for the first draft here since 1947. The event delivered a massive economic surge to the city and Allegheny County, echoing Detroit's $160 million boost last year. Super Bowls usually hit warm climates or dome stadiums since they run in February and Pittsburgh lacks both. Still, the league rolled the dice with New York for Super Bowl 48 back in 2014. Rooney and the Steelers are geared up to seize any opening. Proving Pittsburgh's got the chops to handle the NFL's biggest stage.
