Hosting the 2026 NFL Draft was an event close to two years in the making. Public Safety could not be prouder of the results of thousands of hours of meticulous planning, coordination, and work by all our personnel. Despite a record 805,000 visitors, no major incidents occurred.

The third & final day of the NFL Draft in Pittsburgh saw rainy weather and yet still drew record crowds. Public Safety personnel continued to field calls for service throughout the North Shore, Downtown, and in Point State Park. Full info/stats: pittsburghpa.gov/News-articles/…

As we welcomed hundreds of thousands of people to the Draft, our @PghPublicSafety, @PghPolice, @PghEMS, @PghFireFighters, @PittsburghOEMHS, Pittsburgh Crossing Guards and our partners worked day and night —thank you for keeping Pittsburgh safe.

Please be aware of drone flight restrictions in effect around the NFL Draft.

Welcome to Pittsburgh! #FBI Pittsburgh and our local, state, and federal partners are working hard to ensure your 2026 NFL Draft experience is a safe and enjoyable one.
