A hint that the Rolling Stones are coming to Pittsburgh this summer. A billboard with the Rolling Stones logo Monday on Route 28, near the 40th Street Bridge, in Pittsburgh.

Nick Sero, corporate communications manager for Heinz Field on Pittsburgh’s North Shore, declined comment. However, Heinz Field got in on the fun Monday by placing the Rolling Stones logo on its scoreboard. It could be seen from outside the stadium.

If the rumors are true, the Stones would be making their first stop in Pittsburgh in five years.
