Stadium 路 United States

How much did Acrisure Stadium cost to build?

Acrisure Stadium is a 68,400-seat football stadium on Pittsburgh's North Shore, owned by the Sports & Exhibition Authority and used by the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Panthers. Ground was broken on 18 June 1999, and the venue opened as Heinz Field on 18 August 2001 after being completed on time and on budget. A 2015 south-end expansion added 3,000 seats, and the stadium adopted its current name in 2022.
