he Pittsburgh Steelers may not be facing off against the New England Patriots on a full night of sleep.

KDKA’s Rich Walsh reports that fire alarms started going off around 3 a.m. Sunday at the Boston hotel where the Steelers and many fans are staying waited outside.

Hotel personnel said the entire hotel had to be evacuated, but it ended up being a false alarm.

Alarms were going off for about half an hour before guests were allowed to return to their rooms.

ESPN reported around 8 a.m. that Massachusetts State Police have arrested a 25-year-old Boston man who allegedly pulled the fire alarm. Sources told ESPN the man pulled a fire alarm in a stairwell near an exit, then ran out of the building to a waiting car with two other men and fled the scene.

The game kicks off at the Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts at 6:40 p.m.

I'm sure the Steeler fans are not happy about this stunt.

Damn Belechick! LOL.

[dowcaet]

Yeah, he had nothing to do with this. Right...

[pinkandgreenmom]

Husband and I can vaguely recall this happening once before, but cannot remember which city.

[Fresh Wind]

...Massachusetts State Police have arrested a 25-year-old Boston man...

I'm guessing he isn't a Steelers fan.

Food poisoning earlier this week and now this. What won’t the Pats do to win a game?

A pissed off Steeler is a . . . . . Steeler

That’s the type of comment that libs make when they lose an election.

[dowcaet]

If I’m not mistaken Bill Belichick supported Trump in the election. If the Steelers lose some of their fans will find a way to blame Trump. LOL.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

It has happened more than once and it happened to the Patriots in one instance. It’s invariably psycho fans that do it.

[M-cubed]

nope!..it was those dastardly Russians!

Hell!..they hacked the election and now they’re gonna make sure the Patriots win the Super Bowl......I mean what can be more fitting.....”PATRIOTS WIN”..the Russians can take credit for that Headline twice

[b4me]

didn’t this sort of thing happen a few years back?

[FXRP]

I’m laughing, but that’s downright cruel. I hope they give that guy six months and don’t let him watch any Boston sports teams for five years.

[meyer]

They should have stayed at the Trump hotel.

[EEGator]

Yep.
