PITTSBURGH, PA — In Heinz Field's 20-year existence, it's a question fans have not had to ponder until now. Should they bring coronavirus vaccination proof along with their Terrible Towels when going to a Steelers game?

If you're going to Sunday's Steelers-Raiders game, you'll probably be relieved to know the answer is no. But some changes have been implemented since the last time the stadium was permitted to operate at full capacity in 2019.

Before going to the game, remember to download your mobile ticket and save it to your Apple or Google wallet. If you have any questions regarding your ticket once at the stadium, be aware the ticket office is now located next to Franco's Pizzeria at the intersection of Art Rooney Avenue and West General Robinson Street.

Regardless of vaccination status all guests, staff and vendors will be required to wear a mask in any indoor areas of the stadium. Those who refuse to wear a mask will first receive a warning; second-time offenders will be ejected from the stadium.

If you want to pay for food and beverages with cash, forget it. Heinz Field is now cashless. Credit and debit cards are accepted, as well as Apple and Google Pay.
