The Steelers will continue their highly successful Steelers Student Rush program this year, a unique initiative in the NFL. The program will commence when the Steelers host the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 22 at Acrisure Stadium.

The Student Rush program aims to connect local college students with the hometown team, offering them an opportunity to experience Steelers games at Acrisure Stadium in a distinctive environment.

"Pittsburgh is a college town, with the broader region being home to over 70 colleges and post-secondary institutions and some 140,000 students," said Ryan Huzjak, the Steelers Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Through the Steelers Student Rush program, we have an exciting opportunity to invite college students to venture beyond campus for a world-class football experience. By providing specially created game access through student-priced tickets, we are not only laying the foundation for lifelong fandom but also showcasing the benefits of living in a professional sports town."

In partnership with PogoSeat, the Steelers will offer college students access to Standing Room Only (SRO) tickets via text messaging. This initiative underscores the franchise's commitment to innovation and inclusivity by granting local college students unprecedented access to Steelers' football.

The program will provide SRO ticket inventory for each home game at $50 per ticket (no additional fees). Eligibility requires current enrollment in college with a valid ".edu" email address. Additionally, students can use their student ID for free or discounted rides through the PRT U-Pass program for transportation to Acrisure Stadium.

To celebrate the launch of Steelers Student Rush, a Kickoff Watch Party is planned at Schenley Plaza in Oakland on Sunday, Sept 8 at 11:30 a.m. Students can watch the Steelers play against the Atlanta Falcons on a big screen while enjoying lawn games, exclusive giveaways, music from a DJ, and meeting a Steelers legend. Registration is encouraged but not required.
