Acrisure Stadium 🇺🇸

Home of: The Pittsburgh Steelers (AFC North)

Located along the Ohio River in Pittsburgh's North Shore neighborhood, Acrisure Stadium—formerly and still colloquially known as Heinz Field—serves as the home venue for both the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers and the NCAA's Pittsburgh Panthers. Opened in 2001 to replace Three Rivers Stadium, the venue was purposefully designed by HOK Sport to celebrate the city's rich steelmaking heritage, incorporating 12,000 tons of structural steel alongside modern glass elements offering exceptional views of surrounding areas.

With a seating capacity of 68,400, the stadium features a natural-grass playing surface retained through player and coach advocacy, and boasts a sellout streak for Steelers home games stretching back to 1972. Inside, you can explore the Great Hall to view a rich collection of team memorabilia, or grab a bite at one of more than 400 eateries located throughout the concourses.

Outside the gates, keep an eye out for bronze monuments, including a statue of Steelers founder Art Rooney and a Pitt Panther situated above a paved depiction of Pitt's Cathedral of Learning. Beyond gridiron action, the venue hosts major outdoor hockey games and historic concerts, making it a focal point of Pittsburgh culture.
