There is an odd chance an honest-to-goodness record could be set Sunday afternoon at Heinz Field.
With the stadium expansion under the scoreboard by Gate A, Heinz Field now seats 68,400 fans.
Assuming fans don’t stay home because it is a preseason matchup (a definitive likelihood), the game against the Green Bay Packers could be the most attended game in Pittsburgh Steelers history, breaking the old mark of 66,662 in the 2010-11 AFC Championship Game against the New York Jets.
Even if this preseason game has more than 2,000 no-shows, it is a sure bet the current record won’t last long.
