Fans came from all over, including New Jersey, Virginia, Florida, Arizona, Ohio and Wyoming, to see the black and gold. While many came to get autographs or see their favorite player, the faithful were happy to give their predictions for the 2022 season.
"I would like to meet Minka Fitzpatrick," Sabrina Caruso of New Jersey said.
"They got some young talent in this year," Terry Cook of Beaver Falls said. "They got help at linebacker, they paid people who needed to be paid. I think they can have a great year."
Ken Mullin was the first in line to park for training camp on Wednesday.
"This is my eighth or ninth time being here," Mullin said.
