State will pay Steelers victory parade tab

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl victory parade cost $79,500 in police and public works manpower and will be covered by a state grant.

City officials said the cost of Tuesday's parade was far less than the $500,000 the city spent for police to patrol several neighborhoods on Sunday to keep rowdy fans under control.

That cost will also be covered by a state grant earmarked for regional events.

Some 80 people were arrested after the game, mostly for minor offenses.

City officials say no one was arrested at the parade, which about 350,000 people attended.
