* Schedule subject to change
For those fans who have never been to Latrobe to see a practice, take a look at the schedule, pick a date and make the trip. It will be well worth your while to see these players up-close-and-personal and see what it takes to make an NFL team function.
For those fans also wondering when the Steelers will be traveling to Buffalo to practice with the Bills as part of their 'home and home' practice series, they won't be making the trip. The deal was made with Doug Marrone, and with Rex Ryan the new coach of the Bills the deal was nullified.
Set your calendars appropriately Steelers fans, football is right around the corner.
