Mike Tomlin, the former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach, has revealed a long-running hobby that caught both football and gaming fans off guard: a detailed virtual city he has been constructing in Minecraft for 12 years.
The project, built entirely in the sandbox video game, surfaced publicly after Tomlin shared details of the build, which he has worked on steadily since long before its public unveiling.
The reveal generated a wave of reaction online, with fans expressing surprise that the coach, long known for his guarded public persona, had maintained such an elaborate creative outlet away from the football field.
Details about the scope of the city, including how large it has grown or what features it contains, have not been fully disclosed. It remains unclear whether Tomlin plans to share further glimpses of the project or keep most of it private.
Minecraft, released in 2011, has become a popular outlet for long-term creative projects, with some players spending years building elaborate structures and cities similar to the one Tomlin is reported to have built.
