Sports Museum to host legendary Steelers at event honoring Immaculate Reception anniversary
The Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum, part of the Senator John Heinz History Center’s family of museums, will host several legendary Pittsburgh Steelers as part of a special public program, “Franco Harris and the Immaculate Reception: 50 Years Later,” on Thursday, Dec. 22 at 6:30 p.m.
Harris will be joined by his teammates from the 1972 Steelers and members of the Oakland Raiders from that year. The other guests are set to include Joe Greene, John “Frenchy” Fuqua, Mike Siani, and more.
Moderated by KDKA-TV sports anchor Bob Pompeani, the panel discussion will examine how the Immaculate Reception changed the fortunes of a franchise and a city, and how its legacy continues to grow five decades later.
Tickets must be purchased in advance at heinzhistorycenter.org.
