Heinz
Field
After spending 30 years at the multipurpose Three Rivers Stadium,
the Pittsburgh Steelers now play at one of the superior NFL
stadiums. Like many other teams in the 1990s, the Steelers
lobbied and received public funding to build a new stadium. The
Steelers had played at Three Rivers Stadium along with the
Pittsburgh Pirates (MLB) for more than thirty years. Construction
of new stadiums for both the Steelers and the Pirates began in
1999. Both stadiums were constructed on opposite ends of Three
Rivers Stadium, along the Allegheny River. As part of a 20 year
partnership with the Heinz Company, the Steelers new stadium was
named Heinz Field.The Steelers made
their debut at Heinz Field on October 7, 2001. Heinz Field is in
the shape of a horseshoe, with the south end open. Two, three
tiered grandstands are located on both sides of the field.
The
lower deck circles around the entire field. A section of bleacher
seats are located on a second deck on the north side of Heinz
Field. The stadium has a capacity of 64,450 which includes 7,000
club seats and 120 luxury suites. Behind the seats on the south
end is a massive 48 ft. by 27 ft. scoreboard. Heinz Field has many
amenities including several entertainment areas, team stores,
restaurants, and a Steelers Hall of Fame. Because of its horseshoe
shape, fans attending games at Heinz Field receive excellent views
of the downtown Pittsburgh skyline.
