The Pittsburgh Steelers will open the season at home at Heinz Field, not as the featured opening game against the reigning Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints at the Superdome.
Steelers team president Art Rooney II told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the AFC North franchise will open the season at home Sept. 12 due to scheduling conflicts with Major League Baseball's Pittsburgh Pirates.
"We won't be playing in New Orleans," Rooney told. "We have to be home that weekend because of the baseball schedule. Unless they wanted to play us away three weeks in a row, and I don't think they'll do that. We suspect we'll open at home and be on the road the next two weeks."
