The Duke-Pitt football matchup on Saturday has some unwanted visitors on the field.
A flock of pigeons has invaded the field at Pittsburgh’s Acrisure Stadium. The birds don’t seem to care about the ACC matchup going on around them — sitting on the field between plays and flying around during a kickoff.

This isn’t the first time a sports team in Pittsburgh has dealt with this problem. The Saints-Steelers game last Sunday was overshadowed by a pigeon invasion.
Photos of the field-invading pigeons are going viral on social media.
“The Playoff Selection Committee needs to consider how difficult it is to deal with these kinds of elements at Acrisure Stadium,” one fan joked.
“Sorry Steelers and Pitt football, the pigeons own that place now,” another said.
