The stadium was constructed on the former site of Three Rivers Stadium, with the new venue built in the parking lot of the original structure before the latter was demolished.
The stadium's exterior facade utilizes a mixture of glass, steel, and masonry to mirror the industrial heritage of the city.
The playing field sits at an elevation that makes it susceptible to river-level humidity, impacting game-day turf conditions.
The Great Hall, located inside the stadium, houses the Steelers Hall of Honor and various memorabilia commemorating the history of Pittsburgh football.
The stadium floor is capable of being transformed into a large-scale amphitheater for international touring concert acts.
Acrisure Stadium serves as the primary home for the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh Panthers football team. Located on the North Shore of the Ohio River, the stadium features a natural grass playing surface, which is increasingly rare in professional football. The venue has a seating capacity of approximately 68,400 spectators. It replaced Three Rivers Stadium in 2001 and was renamed from Heinz Field to Acrisure Stadium in 2022. The design incorporates open end zones that provide panoramic views of the downtown Pittsburgh skyline. It serves as a major host for high-profile concerts, festivals, and collegiate sports beyond football. The facility is managed by the Sports & Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County.
