Steelers issue a statement saying President Donald Trump will attend a Week 7 game

The Pittsburgh Steelers released a statement on social media regarding President Donald Trump's attendance at the Week 7 Sunday Night Football game.

The Pittsburgh Steelers said the team is working with the Secret Service and local authorities to provide fans with a safe experience on Sunday. Although the team says the goal is for the fan experience to remain the same as previous weeks, it recommends fans arrive at the stadium earlier.

The team statement concludes that the games' focus remains on celebrating the 50th anniversary of Super Bowl IX, which marked the beginning of Pittsburgh's path to six Lombardi Trophies.

Super Bowl IX holds a special place in the hearts of Steelers fans around the world and the team will also wear throwback jerseys to commemorate the occasion. Tune in on October 20th at 8:20 pm EST to watch the 4-2 Pittsburgh Steelers take on the 2-4 New York Jets on Sunday Night Football.
