Steelers vs. Saints Set for First NFL Game in Paris | Black & Gold Primetime

  • On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers face the New Orleans Saints in an NFL match at the 80,000-capacity Stade de France in Saint-Denis, north of Paris.
  • Opened in 1998 for the World Cup, the Stade hosted France's first match when Zinedine Zidane scored the opening goal against Spain in a friendly match that year.
  • Saints running back Alvin Kamara said the team will "be a part of history," while quarterback Tyler Shough noted the locker room walls gave him "chills."
  • The venue bears a somber legacy from November 13, 2015, when bombs exploded outside during a France-Germany match, killing 132 people and injuring over 400.
  • Beyond sports, the stadium has hosted international acts including Celine Dion, Bruce Springsteen, and K-pop sensation BTS, establishing itself as a versatile cultural hub.
