The Steelers and Pitt Panthers are excited to finally have fans in the stands again.
On Tuesday, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf amended capacity limits during the coronavirus pandemic.
Heinz Field will be able to accommodate up to 7,500 people beginning with this Sunday's Steelers/Eagles game.
During his weekly press conference on Tuesday, coach Mike Tomlin said they are looking forward to see at least part of Steeler Nation again.
"I know that as a football team, we will be excited if we have an opportunity to perform in front of fans in our home venue. They inspire us, and we look forward to entertaining them," said Tomlin.
Pitt's DJ Turner, who was named the ACC receiver of the week says are excited to have fans back in the stands when Notre Dame comes to Heinz Field on October 24.
"We'll all be excited to get people back in the stands, we actually started to get used to playing without people after these last four games, but I mean I know our parents are excited to be there, they're tired of watching from a TV screen and we're excited to have them there," said Turner.
