Acrisure Stadium, formerly (and still colloquially) known asHeinz Field, is afootball stadium located in theNorth Shore neighborhood ofPittsburgh,Pennsylvania. It primarily serves as the home of thePittsburgh Steelers of theNational Football League (NFL) and thePittsburgh Panthers of theNCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision in theAtlantic Coast Conference (ACC). The stadium opened in 2001 as Heinz Field, following thecontrolled implosion of the teams' previous home,Three Rivers Stadium. In 2021, the owners of the Heinz name, now owned byKraft Heinz declined to renew the stadium'snaming rights. The City of Pittsburgh green-litAcrisure's bid to purchase the rights in 2022.

Funded in conjunction withPNC Park and theDavid L. Lawrence Convention Center, the $281 million (equivalent to $499 million in 2024) stadium stands along theOhio River, on theNorth Side of Pittsburgh in the North Shore neighborhood. The stadium was designed with the city's history of steel production in mind, which led to the inclusion of 12,000 tons of steel into construction.[10] Ground for the stadium was broken in June 1999, and the first football game was hosted in September 2001. The stadium's natural-grass surface has been criticized throughout its history, but Steelers owners have kept the grass after lobbying from players and coaches. The 68,400-seat stadium has sold out for most Steelers home games, a streak that dates to 1972. A collection of Steelers and Panthers memorabilia is in the Great Hall.

The stadium has hosted twooutdoor hockey games: the2011 NHL Winter Classic between thePittsburgh Penguins andWashington Capitals, and the2017 NHL Stadium Series game between the Penguins andPhiladelphia Flyers. The venue has also hosted numerous concerts; on June 17, 2023,Taylor Swift'sThe Eras Tour performance was attended by 73,117 people, the highest-ticketed event in Pittsburgh history.[5]

History

[edit]

Planning and funding

[edit]

The Pittsburgh Steelers andPittsburgh Pirates sharedThree Rivers Stadium from 1970 to 2000. After discussions over the Pirates building a full-timebaseball park, a proposal was made to renovate Three Rivers Stadium into a full-time football facility.[11] Although the Steelers' owners disliked the idea, the proposal was used as a "fallback position" that would be used if discussions for a new stadium failed.[12] The Steelers' owners said failing to build a new stadium would hurt the franchise's chances of signing players who might sign with other teams, such as the other three teams in theAFC North, who had all recently built new football-only stadiums.[13] In June 2001, theH. J. Heinz Company purchased the naming rights to the stadium.[14] Per the deal, Heinz would pay the Steelers a total of $57 million through 2021, the "57" being an intentional reference toHeinz 57.[15] Despite Heinz later announcing its acquisition ofKraft Foods Group to formKraft Heinz Company in 2015, the stadium's name was retained.[16]

Originally, asales tax increase was proposed to fund three projects: Heinz Field, PNC Park, and an expansion of theDavid L. Lawrence Convention Center. After the rejection of this proposal in a 1997 referendum known as the "Regional Renaissance Initiative", the city developed the alternate funding proposalPlan B.[17] Similarly controversial, the proposal was labeledScam B by opponents.[18] The Steelers' pledge toward the new stadium was criticized for being too little, even after it was raised from $50 million to $76.5 million.[11][19] Other local government members criticized the $281 million of public money allocated forPlan B.[11][20] One member of theAllegheny Regional Asset District board called the use of tax dollars "corporate welfare".[21] The plan, totaling $809 million, was approved by the Allegheny Regional Asset District board on July 9, 1998, with $233 million allotted for Heinz Field.[21][22] Shortly after Plan B was approved, the Steelers made a deal with Pittsburgh city officials to stay in the city until at least 2031.[18] The total cost of Heinz Field was $281 million.[23]

Design and construction

[edit]

HOK Sport designed the stadium.[24] HOK Sport's project manager for the project, Melinda Lehman, said that theRooney family asked for the stadium's design to "acknowledge the history of Pittsburgh and also bring in an element of looking forward, this is where Pittsburgh is going."[25] In order to accomplish this, HOK Sport used steel structurally and externally.[25] The stone used in Acrisure Stadium's design isartificial, in order to decrease cost.[25] Of the glass used in the stadium's design, Lehman said, "The glass is a more modern building element, which ties into a lot of the buildings in [Downtown] Pittsburgh and gives great views of the surrounding areas."[25] The Steelers and Panthers have their own locker rooms, which differ in size based on the number of players each team is permitted to dress for each game. The visitor facilities are modeled after the home locker rooms' design.[26] As with its predecessor, Acrisure Stadium's culinary service provider isAramark; over 400 eateries are located throughout the stadium.[27] A bronze statue of Steelers founderArt Rooney, similar tothose located outside PNC Park, was moved 100 feet (30 m) from its previous position outside Three Rivers Stadium.[28] In addition, a statue of aPitt Panther over a paved depiction of Pitt'sCathedral of Learning was placed outside Gate A. Upon opening in 2001, Heinz Field's 27 by 96 foot (8.2 by 29.3 m)SonyJumboTron was the largest scoreboard in the NFL.[29] In 2007, ESPN named the "tipping" of the oversized Heinz ketchup bottles atop the scoreboard one of the top ten touchdown celebrations in the NFL.[30]

Ground was broken for Heinz Field on June 18, 1999, at a ceremony co-hosted by the Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh.[31] The stadium was constructed byHunt Construction Group andMascaro Construction Company, LP.[32] The two companies directed 1,400 workers over two years, in which there were no construction accidents or lawsuits.[28] The stadium is inspected yearly, along with PNC Park, by Chronicle Consulting, LLC, for structural defects and maintenance.[33]

Opening

[edit]

The first event held at Heinz Field was a concert hosted by'N Sync on August 18, 2001. Coincidentally, they were also the last band to perform at the Steelers' previous home, Three Rivers Stadium.[34][35] Before theSteelers' regular season, the team played apre-season game against theDetroit Lions on August 25, 2001.[36] Pittsburgh won the stadium's unofficial opening game 20–7, before 57,829 spectators.[37] The first official football game played in the stadium was between the Pittsburgh Panthers andEast Tennessee State, on September 1. The Panthers won the game 31–0, withquarterback David Priestley scoring the first touchdown on an 85-yard run.[38] The Steelers were scheduled to open the regular season play at Heinz Field on September 16 against theCleveland Browns; however, due to theSeptember 11 attacks, all NFL games of the week werepostponed,[37][39] thus moving the stadium's premiere to October 7, against theCincinnati Bengals.[39] Prior to the game, a speech from US PresidentGeorge W. Bush, ordering attacks onTaliban-controlledAfghanistan, was shown live on the stadium's JumboTron.[40] The speech was met with much applause and support from the spectators in attendance.[39] Pittsburgh defeated the Bengals, 16–7. Steelers kickerKris Brown scored the first NFL points in the stadium on a 26-yard field goal, and quarterbackKordell Stewart scored the first touchdown on an eight-yard run.[41]

That same year, twolight-emitting diode (LED) video displays fromDaktronics were installed at the field. The larger,HD video display measures approximately 28 feet (8.5 m) high by nearly 96 feet (29 m) wide.[42]

In 2007, writer Bill Evans named Heinz Field the second best stadium in the NFL, behindLambeau Field, in an article forESPN.com.[43] Although both stadiums received a score of 54 out of 70,Sports Illustrated named Heinz Field the second best stadium in the NFL, also behind Lambeau Field.[44]

Future

[edit]

While the Steelers continue to make capital improvements to Acrisure Stadium as well as expand seating, some fans of the Pitt Panthers football team have called for the university to build an on-campus stadium. However, the university has never included such plans in any long-term facilities or strategic planning.[45] While there has been talk of extending thePittsburgh Light Rail to Oakland, significant costs were cited during construction of theNorth Shore Connector, which terminates at Acrisure Stadium.[46] While the possibility of moving games back on campus with a purpose-built stadium has not been entirely dismissed by the university administration, it has also not been endorsed or featured in any strategic planning.[47][48][49][45]

In January 2021, just as the Heinz naming rights deal was set to expire, it was announced thatKraft-Heinz decided to renew the naming rights for just one more year, ensuring the name would remain through at least the end of 2021.[50] As the naming rights were allowed to expire in 2022, the future name of the stadium was uncertain. However, Steelers presidentArt Rooney II has said he was "optimistic" about agreeing to another extension with Kraft-Heinz.[51]

However, on July 10, 2022, it was reported that Heinz would not sign a new deal with the Steelers, ending their 21-year business arrangement.[52] After unsuccessfully trying to find another local company to purchase the naming rights,[53] the naming rights were bought by Michigan-based insurance companyAcrisure in a deal initially reported on July 11, 2022; Steelers minority ownerThomas Tull also has an ownership stake in Acrisure.[54][53] The decision to rename the stadium has received overwhelmingly fierce opposition by Steelers fans.[55]

However, Kraft-Heinz did not remain outside of Steelers-named sponsorship for much longer after giving up naming rights to the stadium itself; the company renegotiated with the Steelers to instead be the naming sponsor for Gate C, the closest gate to theAllegheny Light Rail station.[56] Kraft Heinz later repurposed the Heinz Field name for the new football stadium forAliquippa Junior/Senior High School in suburbanAliquippa, Pennsylvania as part of a $1.3 million endowment to theAliquippa School District for new academic and athletic centers.[57]

Notable events

[edit]

In addition to football games, Acrisure Stadium has hosted other various activities.

Football

[edit]

On August 4, 2012, Heinz Field hosted theWomen's Football Alliance's National Championship Game, becoming the first NFL stadium to host a title game for anywomen's football league.[58]

The quickest score in NFL history occurred on September 8, 2013, in the Steelers season opener against theTennessee Titans, when the Steelers scored asafety on the opening kickoff three seconds into the game.Darius Reynaud of the Titans fielded the kickoff and took a short step backwards (into the south end zone) for what was ruled to be a safety, not atouchback, because the ball was not in the end zone when it was fielded. The Steelers, however, lost the game 16–9, which was also their first home opener loss since the stadium opened.[59]

On October 7, 2018, the Steelers won their 100th regular season game at Heinz Field with a record of 100–38–1 at that point.[60]

College football

Since the Panthers moved to the stadium, attendance for games has been varied, ranging from an average high of 59,197 people per game for the2003 season to a low of 33,315 in2007. Speculation and analysis mostly concluded that that attendance was primarily impacted by the success of the team and times that the games are played, not the location of the stadium.[61][62] More recently, Pitt has averaged 54,710 in home attendance during the2022 season in which the team posted a 9-4 record and 48,122 during the2023 season in which the team recorded a 3-9 season.

On September 1, 2022, theBackyard Brawl between the University of Pittsburgh andWest Virginia University met after an 11-year break of the rivalry, due to conference realignment. With an attendance of 70,622 fans, a new record was set for the largest sporting event in the history of Pittsburgh. The previous record was held by Penn State versus Pitt in 2016 with 69,983 in attendance.[63]

Concerts

[edit]

Since its opening in 2001, bands and artists includingNSYNC,Beyoncé,Taylor Swift,Kenny Chesney, andLeAnn Rimes have performed at the stadium. Additionally, hometown bandsThe Clarks and thePovertyneck Hillbillies have played multiple shows at the stadium.[64]

Features

[edit]

Playing surface

[edit]

In June 2001,Kentucky Bluegrass was laid on the field,[10] at half the height of most NFL field's 2-inch (51 mm) grass. The field is heated from below, using a mixture ofantifreeze and hot water, to keep the field at around 62°F (17°C) in order to keep the grass growing year-round.[35] The field was re-surfaced multiple times, until the synthetic-enhancedDesso GrassMaster was installed in 2003.[80] Debate continued over the surface after players began slipping during game play. Despite this, players and coaches of Pitt, the Steelers, and their opponents supported keeping the current turf.[81]

I need the grass. I like the mud. I like the sloppiness, I'm used to it. Mr. Rooney, can we please keep the grass? I don't want no FieldTurf. It's bad on your knees.

Ike Taylor[82]
Heinz Field before a Pittsburgh Steelers-New England Patriots game, September 2005

On Friday, November 23, 2007, Heinz Field hosted fourWPIAL championship football games which were followed the day after with a game between Pitt andSouth Florida. After discussion with the NFL,[83] the Steelers owners decided to re-surface the field for theirnationally televised game against theMiami Dolphins. A layer of sod was laid on the 2.5-acre (1.0 ha) GrassMaster surface.[84] After the new sod was laid, 1½ inches of rain fell[85] which did not allow the tarp to be removed from the field until 70 minutes before the game began.[86] The field conditions were so bad that apunt by Dolphins punterBrandon Fields stuck to the turf without bouncing.[87] The Steelers won the game 3–0, with afield goal byJeff Reed with 17 seconds remaining;[88] it was the NFL's first 3–0 game since 1993 and the longest two teams went without scoring since theNew York Giants and Detroit Lions played to a scoreless tie on November 11, 1943.[88] Scott Brown, of thePittsburgh Tribune-Review, called the field a "veritable mud pit".[89]Gene Upshaw, head of theNational Football League Players' Association, said a 2006 survey of NFL players ranked Heinz Field as the second-worst field in the league.[89] Steelers receiver Hines Ward called the playing conditions "horrendous" after the game.[90] However, the following day Ward and other Pittsburgh players lobbied to keep the natural surface, saying, "I think everybody wants to keep the grass."[82] Since that season, the Steelers have played their game on the weekend afterThanksgiving on the road at the team's request.

Debate continued over the field later in the season when Jacksonville running backFred Taylor called the field "a lawsuit pending".[91] Pittsburgh's owners said the decision was up to the players, who once again defended the natural surface.[92] In February 2008, the Steelers announced that they would keep the Desso GrassMaster surface.[85] During the2008 season, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger received aconcussion from a hit at Heinz Field. He later said, "I'm glad we weren't on FieldTurf. That grass — you know, the soft Heinz Field—might've helped a little bit."[93] After the 2008 season, a poll of 1,565 NFL players rated the surface at Heinz Field as the worst of the 18 natural surfaces in the League.[94]

The Grassmaster surface was removed in January 2009 and replaced with the old sod placed on top of the Grassmaster surface for the AFC Championship later that month.[6]

Field design

[edit]

When the venue opened in 2001, both end zones were painted athletic gold during Steelers home games (this also happened for the final five seasons at Three Rivers Stadium), with "PITTSBURGH" on the north side and "Steelers" on the south side; both words were painted black with white outlines. Either "Steelers" or "Panthers" was painted in the end zone, depending on the game, during the first three years. For the 2002 Steelers regular season, the area covered by gold paint was reduced to just around the words. The design for the 2002 Wild Card matchup replaced the white letter outlines with athletic gold paint and removed it everywhere else.

In 2003, the Steelers played the Philadelphia Eagles in a preseason game with plain diagonal white lines in the South end zone, which were common in NFL end zones until the 1960s. Although the Steelers lost the game 21–16, team presidentDan Rooney liked the look of the South end zone being "plain", and decided to bring it back the next year. The 2003 season was the last year to date which contained "PITTSBURGH" and "Steelers" in black words with athletic gold outlines in both end zones.

Beginning in 2004, the wordmark designs were flipped in paint color, "PITTSBURGH" in the North and "Steelers" in the South were now athletic gold with the former having either dark blue outlines for Pitt or black for the Steelers. The diagonal white lines in the South end zone during the college portion of the season began in this year too, with "Steelers" being added after Pitt has played their final home game of the year. In the aforementioned Dolphins-Steelers Monday Night Football match of 2007, the surface conditions had become so deteriorated from the rain and gameplay itself that the field grid of hash marks, yard lines, mid-field logo, and wordmarks in both end zones were barely visible throughout the game. Sideline hash marks (painted orange) and yard lines were re-painted at halftime.

From 2001 through 2010, there was typically no midfield logo when both Pitt and the Steelers were in season; the Steelers had their logo painted on the sidelines when Pitt's football season was ongoing and transferred it to midfield after Pitt's football season ended (except for the first two seasons when it was only added for the postseason). As of the 2011 season, Pitt and the Steelers in cooperation have their respective logos at midfield for their own homes games, being interchanged frequently.

Being a member of theAmerican Football Conference (AFC), the grounds crew of Acrisure Stadium has painted the conference logo in both end zones for every Pittsburgh Steelers postseason home game to date. Recently, after the end of the Pittsburgh Panthers season, fans and players, includingT.J. Watt andJ.J. Watt, spoke out to change the endzones to the gold ones, similar to the one at Three Rivers Stadium.[95][96][97]

As of 2018, the Pittsburgh Steelers have sold out every home game since the1972 season.[98] Entering the 2008 season, the Steelers average ticket price of $69.47 was the 15th highest out of the NFL's 32 teams.[99] The majority of the 65,050 seats are colored "Steeler gold", though club seats are dark gray.[10][25] Acrisure Stadium features 1,500 seats in 129 luxury boxes, with prices ranging from $64,000 to $135,000 depending on location and size. These boxes were predicted to increase the Steelers' profits from $10 to $11 million per season over those at Three Rivers Stadium. The stadium also features 6,600 club seats that include a restaurant and an indoor bar, at prices up to $2,000 per person.[23] For the 2010 season, season ticket prices for Panthers games ranged from a maximum of $295 per club seat with required donations per seat between $250 and $500 depending on location, to as low as $87 per seat with no required donation for upper end zone sections. Individual game ticket prices ranged from $30 to $65 depending on the seat location and the opponent.[100]

Great Hall

[edit]
The Great Hall, April 2008

The Great Hall spans approximately 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2) on the east side of the stadium and houses a collection of Steelers and Pittsburgh Panthers memorabilia. The Hall includes a timeline of the Steelers franchise's major events and an oversized Steelers helmet hanging from the ceiling beside a video screen that shows entertainment for fans throughout game days.[101] The Great Hall also features the actual lockers of several former Steelers, includingHall of Fame members Franco Harris,Joe Greene, andBill Dudley.[101]

Six largeLombardi Trophy-shaped display columns were erected and contain artifacts from each championship the Steelers have won including replica trophies.[102] Two display columns are dedicated to the University of Pittsburgh and contain memorabilia from the Panthers' teams. The floor is painted to resemble the post-baseball season football field at Three Rivers Stadium, with the word "Steelers" painted in black over a gold background.[101] University of Pittsburgh players are featured on two large murals within the Hall. Eight additional tile murals created by local high schools represent western Pennsylvania football history.[102] In 2007, the Great Hall was named the best concourse at an NFL stadium by writer Bill Evans, in an article for ESPN.com.[43]

Seating expansion

[edit]

The Steelers notified thePittsburgh Stadium Authority in December 2010 of their intention to add up to 4,000 seats to the lower southern end of the stadium. The plan would increase seating up to 69,050 as soon as the 2012 NFL season.[103] Seating was added in that section for the 2011 NHL Winter Classic, which had an attendance of 68,111. The temporary seating was left in place for the 2010–11 NFL playoffs, with the AFC Championship game on January 23 having a record attendance of 66,662.[104]

On April 12, 2012, the Steelers confirmed they would seek approval from the NFL to expand seating by 3,000.[105] On May 19, 2014, after more than two years, the Steelers and the SEA came to an agreement to add about 3,000 seats to the venue.[106] After contractors surveyed the complex the final number of 2,390 added seats with five additional suites including more parking, restrooms and concessions was determined in December 2014 to increase capacity to a total of 68,400. The seating was put in place by the summer of 2015.[107]

On September 10, 2016, the then-largest crowd of 69,983 to ever see a sporting event in Pittsburgh watched the Pitt Panthers defeat thePenn State Nittany Lions, 42–39 as they renewed their rivalry in football. On September 1, 2022, a crowd of 70,622 fans broke the record attendance for a sporting event in Pittsburgh again, as No. 17 Pitt defeated the West Virginia Mountaineers 38–31 in the first Backyard Brawl since 2011.
