Updated Mar 31, 2021;
Heinz Field, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pitt Panthers football and major concerts is soon to be home to the Penn Hills High School prom.
School district officials announced the senior celebration would make its return June 17 after being canceled last year due to the pandemic.
“They deserve it,” Penn Hills School Board President Erin Vecchio said. “They’ve been through enough this year. They need some kind of normal. They all said they were going to wear masks, so God bless them.”
Health screenings, social distancing and mask-wearing will all be part of the safety protocols inside the stadium along Art Rooney Avenue.
