Heinz Field was opened more than 20 years ago, it is the home field of the Pittsburgh Steelers, but before that stadium they had another home called the Three Rivers Stadium which was demolished in 2001.

The Steelers have six Super Bowl Championships, of which only two were won at Heinz Field, one in 2005 and one in 2008. While the other rings were during the Steelers’ golden era in the 20th century.

The first time the Steelers played at Heinz Field was on August 25, 2021, they won a preseason game against the Detroit Lions 20-7 in what was the unofficial opening of the stadium.
