Pittsburgh loves their sports teams and their fans will always support those that don the black and gold, but the Steelers hold an extra special place in the hearts of every one that calls the city home. Through years of both success and re-tooling, fans come to Acrisure Stadium with one thing in their hand: a Terrible Towel. The Terrible Towel is a fan's personal connection to the franchise, and while each one holds its own story, a sea of gold at Steelers home games is the tie that bonds everyone together. Creating these moments is Chris Burns, who serves as Executive Producer of Live Stadium Events. With the support of SVP, Stadium Operations & Management, Jimmie Sacco; director Eli Eisenberg; Manager, Video Production, Stephen Finerty; his entire production and operations team; and more importantly, his family back at home, Burns understands the role that he plays in making memories that will last a lifetime.
On the latest episode of SVG GameDay, Burns speaks on his day-to-day responsibilities and how they gradually lead up to kickoff, the well-known traditions that engage fans during a game, what it was like to be a part of the first-ever regular-season NFL game in Ireland, his background in news that prepared him for his first job in sports with the Carolina Hurricanes, his upbringing in Bayonne, NJ, and much more.
