Question about the current Stadium

I have never been to any of the Steeler Stadiums so I was interested on your opinion on the acoustics.
In the architect defense they may have been told that optics were the priority in the views you can see.
Im not local but were there ever discussion on closing the stadium by the endzone?
Thoughts?

 

The next stadium and all new stadiums in the NFL should have to be a dome.

 

Why? There's a huge home field advantage for teams playing in the cold.

Domed teams are just 2-15 in sub-freezing temperatures during the postseason.

 

I would like bigger and more vertical

 

Dome stadiums are an affront to the football gods. No one should be allowed to propose a domed stadium without being struck by a lightning bolt.

 

All the Steelers need is better turf .because that field is terrible

 

Three Rivers was LOUD! I will never forget a 1997 game vs the Jaguars. Kordell threw a pass to Bettis to win in overtime. The stadium was so loud it actually got to a sound level where it was silent. I have been to more games than I can even remember, and I have never heard anything like it. It was like being at a decibel level your ears cant handle.

Heinz Field gets loud too, but it doesn't trap the sound the way Three Rivers did.

 

Agreed that 3 Rivers was loud and the whole "Here We Go Steelers Here We Go" would work perfectly, 100% in unison. At Heinz, it sounds like we are singing in the round. My pet peve at Heinz is that there is too much stadium nonsense announcements made during the game....crowd into it then there is a public service announcemnt or something and the whole "another steelers first down" makes me crazy. I cheer for touchdowns...there are times during the game where 1st downs are important like end of the halves when you are running out the clock but every first down wtf.

 

Not in Pittsburgh

Nope

 

Um eh er hmm

Never mind

 

Why

 

3 rivers was much louder

The view is good from Heinz Field

They will not close the end zone no need to plus it would be difficult and expensive

 

I never made it to Three Rivers, but finally went to Heinz Field (will always be Heinz to me) in 2019 for the Monday night game against the Dolphins. Ben was out with the elbow, and we had just traded for Minkah. he balled out that game with two picks, I think. My view was great, and I was in the upper decks on the South (Steelers) side, around the 5-yard line of the closed end. You can see the whole field fine, and the view of downtown through the opening is amazing. Don't ever close it!!

Here is a TD run from James Conner from my seat. Edit, that didn't work, supposed to be a link to a video LOL. Stand by.

Ok, just a view of the field from my seat.

 

They sort of closed in the one end now... it does get loud there and opposing teams have messed up or called timeouts at times as a result, but the crowd needs to be really into it.

I can't see them ever adding a top section to the open end though. people like standing on the ramps for the game too much.

I went to M&T Bank Stadium once (I will never go again after getting heckled all game), the stadium is a deep vertical bowl shape and it gets super loud. Perfect acoustics for that type of thing. I would say M&T is a more intimidating place to play.

 

So you were the guy behind me throwing popcorn on my head

 

Maybe

 

Start with Jerry Jones!

 

Jerry Paid for the stadium so he could build it any way he wanted
