"What drives the Steelers is our fans," said Dan Rooney, Steelers Vice President of Strategy.
"That's why we're bringing kickoff week excitement directly to them. After welcoming the football world to Pittsburgh for the 2026 NFL Draft, we're taking a piece of that experience into neighborhoods across the city — giving fans a chance to relive the historic event, connect with our team's legacy, and build excitement for the season ahead."

Beginning on Sept. 7 and running through Sept. 12, one ring will be on display daily for photo opportunities and fun.
With the ring at each location will be a panel from a larger mural that will come together at the Steelers-Falcons home opener. Fans visiting each location will be able to leave their mark on the panel by painting in a section in a paint by numbers manner.
In addition, some of the locations will also offer charity community engagement events.
Specific times when fans can check out the rings and participate in the mural painting will be announced on Steelers Nation Unite Instagram, Facebook and X social channels the morning of each activation.
