PITTSBURGH — One local official has made a friendly wager with a Houston-area official ahead of the Steelers playoff game against the Texans on Monday.
Allegheny County Executive Sara Innamorato and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo are in on the wager.
If the Steelers win on Monday, Judge Hidalgo will have to dress in Steelers’ gear and send County Executive Innamorato a NASA jacket. If the Texans win, County Executive Innamorato will don Texans’ merchandise and send Judge Hidalgo a Steel City jacket.
“We’re excited to welcome the Texans to a rowdy Acrisure Stadium on Monday night. As you undoubtedly saw when we defeated the Ravens, the Steel Curtain is ready for anything the Texans throw at us,” Innamorato said. ” I’m confident Judge Hidalgo will enjoy wearing some black and gold in the near future.”
Judge Hidalgo feels just as confident about her team.
“It’s great that the Pittsburgh Steelers think they have a shot against our Texans in the Wild Card Round! I look forward to seeing County Executive Innamorato in blue and red at a public address,” she said.
