New stadium ?

Fake news

Mr Rooney already said they will stay in Acrisure stadium but with modifications

 

Would be nice. But I'm guessing there will be no new stadium in the next 20 years unless some uber-rich new owner swoops in.

 

What Randy Newman said about the "new" stadium design: "I Love LA!"

 

They can improve Acrisure stadium starting with a new football field! It is a hot mess.

Other things in the works are:

Recent and Ongoing Improvements (2025–2026 Focus)

• Major Seat Replacement Project: The Steelers are replacing nearly all the stadium's seats (originally from when it opened in 2001 as Heinz Field). Plans call for updating 58,719 out of 68,400 seats by 2028, at a total cost of about $17.8 million. The first phase (approved in late 2025) installs 22,236 new seats over the next couple of years, addressing seats that were in poor condition.
• 
  
• Wi-Fi Overhaul: A complete upgrade with over 1,300 new access points for faster speeds, better coverage, and lower latency—great for fans posting on social media or using the app during games.
• 
  
• New Videoboards and Displays: A new marquee videoboard along Art Rooney Avenue (east side) for better visibility and fan engagement outside the stadium. Additional enhancements to replay system
• s and audio.
• 
  
• Outdoor Additions: A 44 x 25-yard synthetic football field installed near Gate A Lawn (completed for 2025 season use and Draft prep). Also, artificial turf replacing part of the South Lawn for youth activities and events.
• 
  
• Other Fan Experience Upgrades: Expanded concessions (including self-checkout markets), new charging stations, security enhancements (like bollards), updated mobile app with virtual assistant, and preparations like a new premium lounge (1933 Club) planned for 2026 honoring the team's founding year.

These are largely tied to prepping for the 2026 NFL Draft (April 23–25, 2026) and general modernization, with investments around $8.6 million+ in tech and fan-focused changes.Potential Future or Suggested ImprovementsWhile no massive full rebuild is confirmed (some fan discussions speculate about a new stadium or $800M+ overhaul, but current focus is on targeted upgrades), common fan suggestions from discussions (e.g., Reddit, forums) include:

• Better/more affordable concession prices and options (especially for food sensitivities).
• 
  
• Improved jumbotrons or additional screens for better sightlines.
• 
  
• Removing or rethinking cup holders in some sections.
• 
  
• More premium/intimate seating or "rightsizing" upper levels (e.g., tarping sections to create a more packed-in atmosphere).
• 
  
• Keeping/upgrading the iconic views (rivers, bridges, skyline) while adding modern amenities like more tech integration or entertainment districts.

And the important topic upgrading the women bathrooms 40 % of the fans in the NFL are female.

 

You all do understand that these billionaire owners are always looking for a handout of taxpayer dollars when constructing
these new stadiums. The Rooney's and Allegheny county will make necessary improvements to Acrisure Stadium it still has a
a 20 year life span.

 

You must have seen this on facebook. My dad's always asking me about is this true or is that true...I always tell him, "if you saw it on facebook there's a 99.9% chance it's Grade-A bull$hit..."

 

Also, that pic above...looks like they filled in the Ohio River in that drawing

 

Nice cut and paste

I applaud you for trying to be accurate and honest

I will point out one thing you missed they put in a new turf field every year

The problem is the extra work it gets from college and high school in November

 

yes Facebook send me all this take steelers news sometime they are funny like we are trading for crosby but i saw the stadium and i like it , a franchise like the steelers should have the best stadium of the world they are the legend of football should be like a Himalaya for climbers

 

Wouldn't you want the open end to face the city skyline?

 

I would like a football temple ,yes with something on the open fence

 

Yeah there's very little quality Steelers news or coverage on Facebook...I just stick to certain creators on Twitter and Youtube primarily

 

I’ve even stopped looking at YouTube because of the clickbait and speculation without foundation

 

It needs go to back to Heinz Field as well. How is Acrisure able to out-bid Heinz? You can't tell me that Heinz is unable to afford $10M per year.

 

Heinz is Kraft sort of and

 

I don't live in Pennsylvania or Pittsburgh.

You guys can waste your tax dollars however you like. If that quote is real, it's certainly made with the understanding that they are going to try to milk the tax payers into subsidizing the plaything of a billionaire.

"It isn't just about football..." so it's totally cool if we take tax money to build it!

Personally, I wouldn't be a fan of subsidizing a new stadium.

 

Maybe also changing the name to Two River stadium?

 

Maybe they are waiting for a playoff win.

 

Heinz was bought by Kraft

Kraft doesn’t care

 

Yeah. But why don't they care? $10M/year is peanuts for them to keep their name associated with a Stadium.

 

OUCH.

 

I think it's all NAG now IIRC which might work for a stadium name
