The NFL Draft set a new attendance record over the weekend, drawing an incredible 805,000 fans to the Steel City for the three-day event. That turnout has Rooney believing Pittsburgh proved it has what it takes to potentially host a Super Bowl.

"I think we certainly made a good case for it, let's put it that way, over the weekend," Rooney said on NFL Network's The Insiders. "So, I would never take it off the table. I admit it's probably a long shot, but I think we proved that we could do it if we were given the opportunity here in Pittsburgh."

The record-breaking crowd not only showcased Pittsburgh's deep love for the game but also highlighted its ability to handle massive events with energy and efficiency.
