The Steelers, Pirates and Penguins are teaming up to take on vaccine hesitancy.
Representatives from the teams were on a zoom call with local health leaders, Acting State Secretary of Health Alison Beam and Senator Bob Casey, each of them touching on what increased vaccinations can do for stadium capacity.
Marci McGovern from the Pirates said they've collaborated with the Steelers and Penguins to create safe game experiences for fans.
"They worked with us to share what they've learned through opening their facilities for fans and allowed our planning teams to walk their venues and see how they set things up," she said.
