The Steelers have played in Pittsburgh since their first season in 1933, when they were called the Pirates. In that time they have had four home stadiums: Forbes Field, Pitt Stadium (for a while alongside Forbes), Three Rivers Stadium and, since 2001, the stadium now called Acrisure Stadium on the North Shore.
Here is every home in order, with the years the Steelers played there, what made each one matter and what stands on the site today. Each stadium with a ThrillZing guide links to it.
