I live near Pittsburgh and they are/have been planning an event for this weekend to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of the Immaculate Reception. Franco was supposed to be there. along with several Steelers and Raiders players from that era. When they tore Three Rivers Stadium down they built Heinz Field next to it. There is a spot in the parking lot with an X on it that is the spot Franco scooped up that ball that day. The celebration is going to be on that spot this weekend. And they were supposed to retire his jersey. Sad indeed and the timing is unreal.
EDIT: just did a search and there is a monument on that spot now. When they built Heinz Field they had put an X down on that spot
