The Steelers got poor marks again for its facilities in the annual NFLPA survey.
The Steelers’ locker room on the South Side received a “D” from players this year, getting an “F” in 2023.
Former Steelers cornerback Patrick Peterson said on his podcast, “1st & Pod” hosted along with The Fan’s Andrew Fillipponi that he had to go elsewhere for a sauna, because the Steelers facility didn’t have one.
“I used to go to the Fairmont and use their sauna every single day . . . because I had to have it, I had to have the sauna,” said Peterson.
