PITTSBURGH — The Steel City’s storied football tradition will soon meet the silver screen.
“The Football Town” is NFL Films’ first-ever immersive format documentary and is presented in partnership with VisitPITTSBURGH, the Steelers and U.S. Steel.
Around 50 minutes long, the film highlights Western Pennsylvania’s history of football and features appearances by Steelers legends like Bill Cowher, Jerome Bettis, Joey Porter Sr. and James Harrison. Pittsburgh area native Pat McAfee provides the narration.
“Pittsburgh is a special place, one that helped build America and America’s game,” said Keith Cossrow, NFL Films vice president and head of content. “NFL Films has been searching for the perfect subject for our first immersive-format documentary, and we found it in Western Pennsylvania.”
“The Football Town” will premiere Feb. 28 at the Kamin Science Center’s Rangos Giant Cinema. Tickets go on sale Feb. 13 on the Kamin Center’s website.
