The Pittsburgh Knights Gaming Zone will feature Madden NFL 20 on Xbox One consoles, along with branded signage for the esports team. According to a release, the teams are “testing out” the activation, and fans will be able to check it out at the Steelers’ next home game on September 30 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
“Fans always come down early to tailgate and enjoy Heinz Field; now they’ll have the opportunity to challenge each other to a friendly videogame competition at the Knights Gaming Zone,” says Knights President James O’Connor, in a release. “This is just another great way for people to have fun before a Steelers game or at halftime.”
