Steelers' Rooney anticipates int'l game in 2025

Steelers President Art Rooney II said that he anticipates the team “could play an international game next year" and pointed to Mexico and Ireland as the “likely destinations.” Those countries would be “no surprise given the franchise’s connections and marketing rights with both.” Rooney said, "I think there's a good chance we'll play, in the 2025 season, that we'll have an international game. Of course, it's up to the league, not up to us. We're kind of due for that.” The Steelers have not played outside the U.S. since losing to the Vikings in London in 2013. Rooney also referred back to a 1997 exhibition the Steelers played in Ireland, in which the Rooney family has “deep roots.” Rooney said, “It was a lot of fun and well received. We have a lot of Steeler fans in Ireland, so it would be fun to get over there again” (PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE 8/9).
