The platform had large holes - possibly for pyrotechnics?

There were even some signs cheering on the "new" hometown team - "Rogues Rule!"

And, while it may be summertime in the 'Burgh, it's winter in Gotham City as snow was seen flying during filming in Oakland!

Security was tight for the shoot. Yellow-jacketed security crews, normally in place on game days, were patrolling the perimeter of Heinz Field the day before filming even started.
