PITTSBURGH — A sea of mostly black and gold — with a decent showing of Baltimore purple, Buffalo red, white, and blue, and Cleveland Brown — showed up in force Thursday in Pittsburgh for the NFL Draft, so much so that it broke the attendance record set in Detroit two years ago.

“Pittsburgh, congratulations. You set a record for the first night of the draft: 320,000 people here tonight,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell proudly announced at the end of the evening.
