The league announced the closure to fans through its \"OnePass\" app, a day after it said its pop-up NFL shop would also be shut, citing \"potential accessibility issues\" in both cases.\n\nThe closures come amid civil unrest in the city, with riots and protests raising security concerns ahead of the league's debut game there. The Week 7 matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and New Orleans Saints is still scheduled to go ahead as planned, despite the unrest overshadowing the buildup to the league's first game in Paris.\n\nIt is unclear how long the fan attractions will remain closed or whether further changes to the league's plans around the game will follow. For now, the focus stays on whether security concerns ease enough to let fans enjoy the surrounding events before kickoff.","published_at":"2026-10-24T21:33:56.314364+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL House in Paris closes before Steelers-Saints game amid civil unrest","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-house-paris-closes-steelers-225920283.html"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"NFL House in Paris closes ahead of Saints-Steelers game as unrest in city turns into chaos","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/24/sports/nfl-house-in-paris-closes-ahead-of-saints-steelers-game-amid-riots/"},{"outlet":"CBS Sports","publisher":"CBS Sports","title":"NFL closes 'NFL House' in Paris amid security concerns as city braces for more protests","url":"https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-paris-updates-saints-steelers-nfl-house-france-protests/"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"NFL House in Paris closes ahead of street protests","url":"https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/50264705/nfl-house-paris-closes-ahead-street-protests"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL House in Paris closes ahead of street protests in French capital","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-house-paris-closes-ahead-104930056.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL House closes in Paris as protests disrupt Steelers-Saints game weekend","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-house-closes-paris-protests-115559405.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL House in Paris closes ahead of street protests in French capital","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-house-paris-closes-ahead-113922982.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"NFL House in Paris closes ahead of Saints-Steelers game as unrest in city turns into chaos","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/nfl-house-paris-closes-ahead-191621561.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://s.yimg.com/lo/mysterio/api/09386142a994feb43998da3887967e5a52b54af7153188a2a7309135ad82188c/lightyear_networkapi/resizefill_w1200_h675%3Bquality_80%3Bformat_webp/https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.zenfs.com%2Fen%2Fpittsburgh_steelers_wire_usa_today_sports_articles_164%2Fe29c410bc5cb478f2cdc8afcbf22b721.jpg","credit":"Yahoo Sports","width":1200},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
