The Steelers have played their first two home games without fans. They also played the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium without spectators. 

During their home games, the Steelers played Renegade against the Denver Broncos but decided to opt-out of the fan-favorite song against the Houston Texans. 

Renegade didn’t hit right without the fans.
