The Pittsburgh Steelers have issued a statement on social media regarding President Donald Trump attending the Week 7 Sunday Night Football game.

The Pittsburgh Steelers stated that the team is working with the Secret Service and local authorities in order to provide fans with a safe experience on Sunday.  While the team states the goal is for the fan experience to remain as identical as previous weeks, they recommend fans arrive the stadium earlier.

The team statement concludes that the games focus remains on celebrating the 50th anniversary of Super Bowl IX, which marked the start of Pittsburgh's journey to six-Lombardi trophies.

Super Bowl IX holds a special place in the hearts of Steelers fans around the world, and the team will also be wearing throwback jerseys to commemorate the occasion. Tune in on October 20th at 8:20 PM EST to see the 4-2 Pittsburgh Steelers take on the 2-4 New York Jets on Sunday Night Football.
