🏈 WPXI : The Senator John Heinz History Center announced that the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum will be renamed the Franco Harris Sports Museum, honoring the late Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame running back and his significant contributions to sports and community.
The announcement was made on Dec. 23, coinciding with the 53rd anniversary of Harris' famous Immaculate Reception, a defining moment in NFL history. Harris was instrumental in the development of the Sports Museum, which opened in 2004 and his legacy continues through his family's involvement in the History Center.
The Sports Museum is the "home of the Immaculate Reception," featuring a lifelike figure of Harris making the catch, his cleats from the play, the Three Rivers Stadium field turf where it happened, and other 1970s Steelers artifacts.
