By Richard Cook, Sean Conboy Verified| Pittsburgh Magazine Verified The golden anniversary of one of the greatest moments in Pittsburgh History will be a much more somber affair Saturday night at Acrisure Stadium with the stunning news Wednesday morning of the death of Franco Harris. Harris’ son confirmed the news to the Associated Press. No cause of death was given.
