Pat McAfee is heading to Pittsburgh Steelers training camp thanks to Aaron Rodgers – date, time and what to expect | NFL News
One of the NFL’s most popular sports talk shows is heading straight to the heart of Steelers Nation. The Pittsburgh Steelers officially announced that The Pat McAfee Show will broadcast live from training camp in Latrobe on July 30, with gates opening at 11 a.m. EST. The appearance adds a major entertainment boost to camp season and comes after a public push from Aaron Rodgers, who recently urged McAfee to take the show on the road to Latrobe.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers played matchmaker for McAfee and the Pittsburgh Steelers
Back in June, McAfee and Aaron Rodgers – who has joined the Steelers for training camp as their quarterback – joked about the idea of bringing the show to Latrobe during one of McAfee’s episodes. Rodgers floated the suggestion with a simple invite. “Maybe we should do a training camp,” McAfee replied at the time.At first, McAfee wasn’t sure if the Steelers organization would go for it. But clearly, the green light came through! Now, the show is officially set to make its training camp debut in Western Pennsylvania.
Pac McAfee’s Pittsburgh roots keep pulling him back
McAfee isn’t just any national sports host – he’s a proud Yinzer. And his connection to Pittsburgh sports fans continues to grow. In fact, just a few months ago, McAfee packed PPG Paints Arena for his Big Night AHT, an event that stunned fans with surprise appearances from three of the city’s biggest sports legends: Ben Roethlisberger, Sidney Crosby and Paul Skenes.That’s not all: he’s also been giving back through philanthrophy. Alongside Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg, McAfee recently donated $50,000 to Pittsburgh Public Schools. That wasn’t the only cause he supported. His Big Night AHT raised funds for four different organizations, including Foundation of Hope, Special Olympics Pennsylvania and Folds of Honor.
Steelers fans should expect chaos, comedy and celebrity guests
The upcoming live show from training camp is expected to feature plenty of Steelers flavor – on top of McAfee’s usual brand of unscripted comedy, big opinions and behind-the-scenes banter. While the full guest list hasn’t been confirmed, fans are already buzzing about potential appearances. Names being thrown around include Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin, veteran defensive lineman Cameron Heyward, and of course, T.J. Watt, now the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL. And since it was Rodgers who pushed hardest to make it happen, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him sit down for an extended chat, too. Steelers fans who can make it to Latrobe will get the rare chance to watch the show unfold live during camp – a crossover between sports media and team culture.
