Draft Spending Was More Than Its Return

City officials estimate that Pittsburgh spent about $3 million on last week’s NFL Draft — a big expense Pittsburgh is unlikely to get back. The city could at least cover the cost of overtime and additional personnel with a $2 million reimbursement from the state.
