Acrisure Stadium was built following the controlled implosion of the teams’ previous home, Three Rivers Stadium. In 2021, the H.J. Heinz Company declined to renew the stadium’s naming rights. The City of Pittsburgh green lit Acrisure’s bid to purchase the rights in 2022.
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. Ground for the stadium was broken in June 1999. 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.
