Steelers alter Immaculate Reception celebration following Harris' death

The Steelers announced Thursday some changes to the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Immaculate Reception in the wake of Franco Harris' death.

The team will no longer host a series of events originally scheduled for Friday, Dec. 23. Mr. Harris and Art Rooney II were set to speak following a private showing of NFL Film's 'A Football Life' of Mr. Harris. Instead, a replay of the original radio broadcast of the Immaculate Reception will play in the FedEx Great Hall at 3:41 p.m. ET, the exact moment of the play 50 years later.
