Heinz Field
Pittsburgh, PA
On the banks of the Allegheny River across from the downtown the expansive and scenic Pittsburgh skyline sits across from Heinz Field, one of the best stadiums in the NFL. From 1970 until 2000, the Steelers played at Three Rivers Stadium, a multipurpose facility they shared with baseball's Pittsburgh Pirates. Like many other teams in the 1990s the Steelers began to look towards the future, and desired obtaining a bigger and better stadium. Initially owner of the Steelers, Dan Rooney, wanted to renovate Three Rivers Stadium to become a football only facility. After studies showed that renovating the stadium would be just as costly as building a new one, the Steelers shifted their focus to getting a new stadium built. In 1997 financing was approved to build new stadiums for both the Steelers and Pirates. Construction began on June 18, 1999, on a site directly adjacent to Three Rivers Stadium. 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 when they played the Cincinnati Bengals. Heinz Field is in the shape of a horseshoe, with the south end open providing views of the downtown Pittsburgh skyline. Two, three tiered grandstands are located on both sides of the field, with the lower deck circling 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 that 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 and restaurants. Located on the east side of Heinz Field is the 40,000 square foot Coca-Cola Great Hall where fans can check out memorabilia, murals and more of Pittsburgh's sports history. Fans attending games at Heinz Field receive excellent views of the downtown Pittsburgh skyline, due to the stadium's horseshoe shape.
