Steelers fans were already lining up an hour prior to the pep rally at Stage AE on the North Shore.
The event is set to run from 5 to 8 tonight as a pre-celebration to the team’s AFC Wild Card game Sunday against the Miami Dolphins at 1:05 p.m. at Heinz Field.
Former Steelers running back Jerome Bettis and comedian and Pittsburgh native Billy Gardell will make appearances, and the Steeline Drumline will perform.
Also performing will be "The Voice" finalist Josh Gallagher, a native of Cambria County. The country music singer also will sing the national anthem before Sunday’s game.
