by Away from the practice field, Paris is becoming part of the NFL family experience
The Steelers–Saints game is the headline, but some of the most human moments around the NFL’s Paris weekend have happened away from the practice field. Public social posts and reports have shown players and people close to them taking in the city—from a Disneyland Paris visit to an Eiffel Tower photo—before kickoff at Stade de France.
The snapshots offer a more personal side to a landmark football trip. For players, the week still revolves around preparation; for family members and partners who travel alongside them, it can also mean finding time to explore a new city and share a few moments with fans online.
Disneyland Paris becomes one of the weekend’s stops
A roundup published by the New York Post reported that Saints-linked visitors Nikki Jordan and Chanel Iman shared a Disneyland Paris outing. The moment stood out from the usual game-week routine of team meetings, training and stadium preparation: it was a familiar, relaxed tourist stop in a city hosting a first-of-its-kind NFL event.
The same report noted that Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith and his wife, Alyssa, posed near the Eiffel Tower. The photos were a reminder that the trip to Paris is also a rare chance to see the city beyond the stadium and team hotel.
From sightseeing to a night out
The New York Post also described Paris outings shared by other people connected to the two teams, including dinner and shopping posts from Saints-linked visitors. Rather than turning every detail into celebrity gossip, the larger point is simple: the NFL’s international games create a week-long travel experience, not just a three-hour contest.
Saints running back Alvin Kamara had his own basketball detour. Separate coverage reported that he attended a EuroLeague game at Adidas Arena, where he was shown on the venue’s celebrity camera. Earlier in the week, the Saints’ players were also guests at Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League match against Barcelona, adding another major sports event to their visit.

The game remains the main event
The Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints are scheduled to meet at Stade de France on Sunday, October 25, at 2:30 p.m. local time. It is the first regular-season NFL game scheduled to take place in France, making the week a milestone for the league as well as a road trip for the teams.
Events around the game have also been affected by security concerns in Paris. The timing of several social-media posts was not clear in the available reporting, so it would be inaccurate to assume exactly when every photo was taken or to connect the posts to any particular protest activity.
