Several improvements are planned at Acrisure Stadium and its surroundings in Pittsburgh as the city will host the 2026 NFL draft.  Concession stands at the stadium will receive over three million dollars in upgrades.  The Steelers also are planning to install a 10,000-12,000-square-foot artificial turf field for youth athletes on the south lawn beside the stadium. The field will be used for programs during Steelers games and other events hosted at the Stadium, including the draft.  Pennsylvania launched a $3.4 million upgrade for Point State Park, which will play host to a portion of the draft programming. Market Square is getting a refresh, and a new outdoor civic space called Arts Landing is set to be completed before the draft.
