Former President Donald Trump had a memorable appearance at a highly anticipated NFL match-up in Pennsylvania over the weekend.
After speaking to supporters at a rally in Latrobe, Trump stayed in the state to take in Sunday night’s game between the New York Jets and the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.
When Trump entered the stadium, Steelers fans immediately took notice.
Chants of “U-S-A!” filled the air, as the crowd embraced Trump’s presence.
The Republican presidential candidate responded by pumping his fist and engaging with the crowd.
Margo Martin, Trump’s Deputy Director of Communications, posted a video of the moment on X, formerly Twitter.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers star Antonio Brown, who had earlier spoken at the Latrobe rally, made his presence known at the game.
Brown, who has publicly endorsed Trump ahead of the 2024 election, was seen outside the stadium interacting with Steelers fans, per Fox News.
Brown pumped up fans, as he gave out “Trump/Vance” rally towels in Steelers’ signature yellow and black colors.
With Trump’s presence at Sunday’s game, the Steelers organization bolstered security measures to ensure the event ran smoothly.
Per the Steelers’ statement, fans were urged to arrive early, as the team worked in coordination with the Secret Service and local authorities to ensure safety.
However, the Steelers assured fans that the gameday experience would remain seamless, especially as the night featured special tributes to the 50th anniversary of their Super Bowl IX championship team.
