WPXI aired footage of Heinz Field in Pittsburgh being prepped for "The Dark Knight Rises" filming which is the Gotham Rogues versus the Rapid City Monuments in a fictional football game in Gotham. Set photos and videos have been going viral across the Internet since Batman came to Pittsburgh.
Earlier today, more information about the Pittsburgh Steelers acting in the film became public. Both Hines Ward and Ben Roethlisberger both spoke excitedly about the experience.
"I heard it’s going to be a neat thing at the stadium. I don’t think it will be a big part, it’s not like we’re chasing Batman down or anything", Roethlisberger said.
Local residents and workers have been filing into the streets to catch the footage or snap a photo of the "Rises" production. From the Tumblers to street brawls to Batman battling Bane, every nugget of footage is being consumed and shared by fans across the Internet.
Now the local stations are expanding some of their coverage as well, including the video close-ups of a transformed Heinz Field.
So, while the set photos keep rolling in (see the slideshow) and fans clamor over the latest photo of Anne Hathaway on a Batbike, the summer of 2012 inches a little bit closer.
