The Pittsburgh Steelers will play Paris, France for the first NFL game in ever in France against the New Orleans Saints during week 7 as reported by Ari Meriov. The game will be played at Stade de France in Paris, the home of France\u2019s soccer and rugby national teams, and also a site for UEFA Euro soccer tournament games. The stadium capacity is 80,698, making it the largest stadium in the country.<\/p>\n

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette\u2019s Gerry Dulac, the Jacksonville Jaguars \u201cblocked\u201d the Steelers from playing against them in their London game this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to multiple sources, the Jaguars \u2018protected\u2019 their home game against the Steelers, meaning it will likely be played in Jacksonville and not in the capital of England,\u201d Dulac reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t want to give up a game against the Steelers because they know it is guaranteed to be a sellout, based on the way Steelers fans gobble up seats in opposing stadiums,\u201d Dulac wrote.<\/p>\n

The Steelers took on the Minnesota Vikings last year in Dublin, Ireland, it was their first international game in 12 years. That 2013 matchup was also against the Vikings in London England which resulted in a 34-27 defeat for Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n
