On October 9th, the Center for Sports took a trip to Heinz Field to be a part of the audience for 2 tapings of Steelers Huddle, a show that runs Saturday nights on KDKA. The show, hosted by KDKA's Bob Pompeani and former Steeler Chris Hoke, features an interview with a different Steelers player each week. Markus Wheaton and Cam Heyward were the guests at last night's tapings, and all
of the audience members had the opportunity to meet with them and get pictures
and autographs. It was very cool experience to attend a live taping and see all of the behind the scenes work that goes into making a TV show. Attendees from the Center had an even better backstage experience thanks to Point Park graduate Annie Perri Cole, the director of the show, who gave students the opportunity to tour and sit in on the production truck for the show.

Attending the Steelers Huddle was a very cool experience that adds to the list of the many beneficial opportunities provided by the Center for Sports. Up next is Nike: Just Do It- The Story Behind the Branding, Marketing and PR Powerhouse on Wednesday, October 23rd at 1pm in the LH Ballroom. It should be a great event...hope to see everyone there!
