Pittsburgh Airport Promises Correction After Franco Harris Display Lists Wrong Score

Airport leaders say they will adjust the mural to reflect the time left when Harris scored.

Overview

  • Travelers and a photo posted by The Athletic’s Josh Yohe flagged that the new terminal’s collage behind the statue reads 12-7 with 0:00 on the clock.
  • The actual final was 13-7, as Harris’ touchdown made it 12-7 with five seconds remaining before the extra point.
  • Pittsburgh International Airport said the background is a collage of moments and announced it will change the clock to show the time at the score-changing play.
  • Officials said they will work with the Heinz History Center and Franco Harris’ family to ensure an accurate presentation.
  • The correction has been pledged but not yet completed, drawing continued criticism as the $1.7 billion terminal welcomes its first travelers.
