The Pittsburgh Steelers will play without fans for at least the first two home games of the season amid the coronavirus pandemic, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
"And we understand and appreciate the dedication of our fans who want to attend games this season," owner Art Rooney II said Thursday, per Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. "That is why it is disappointing to announce that we will not be able to host fans for our first two home games in September."
The Steelers open their season on the road against the New York Giants but follow it up with two home games in September, facing the Denver Broncos in Week 2 and Houston Texans in Week 3.
