(Pittsburgh, PA) The Pitt Panthers’ upcoming Blue-Gold spring football game at Acrisure Stadium will not be open to the public. Pitt stated on Monday that the annual spring game that’s being held on April 11th will be closed to the public because of ongoing preparations for the upcoming NFL Draft that will be taking place in and around Acrisure Stadium. The draft will be in the Steel City from April 23rd-25th with the Main Stage and NFL Draft Theater expected to take up more area than a football field outside of Acrisure Stadium.
