Friday Night Lights draws huge crown for Steelers training camp practice

One of the best parts of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp is the annual Friday Night Lights event. It’s a special night practice open to fans at Latrobe Memorial Stadium.

This year’s event was as big as ever with an attendance of 12,268, according to Steelers communications director Burt Lauten.

The fans who showed up were treated to a physical practice with plenty of big hitting as well as some great live offense and defense in team drills. The standout of practice was quarterback Justin Fields, who has continued to impress since the start of training camp.

Pittsburgh kicks off the preseason on Friday, Aug. 9 against the Houston Texans at Acrisure Stadium. The Texans got in an extra preseason game by playing in the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday night.

This will be a rematch of last season’s regular-season showdown. The Texans beat the Steelers 30-6 in Houston.
