Encyclopedia > Pitt Stadium

Pitt Stadium was a stadium that hosted football and track and field events starting in 1925. It was the home of the University of Pittsburgh football team from 1925 to 1999 and the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1964 to 1969. Completed in 1925 at a cost of $2.1 million, the stadium consisted of a bowl seating 56,150 surrounding the track and playing field.


The stadium was closed in 1999 as the University of Pittsburgh moved its team to Three Rivers Stadium for a year before sharing Heinz Field with the Steelers. The stadium was demolished later that year. Student housing and the Petersen Events Center now stand on the site.

While saying no final decision had been reached on the future of the stadium, he said he had instructed Pitt architects to think of what could be built on the 10 acres of "prime space in the middle of an urban campus" where the stadium now sits.
Freeing up space where the stadium now sits "to construct virtually all of the additional on-campus student housing that we project we will need." This will also allow the university to comply with a longstanding desire of the community to put student dorms on campus rather than within the nearby neighborhoods, he said.
Pitt and Steelers officials have admitted they are talking about having Pitt play in the Steelers' new 65,000-seat, $233 million stadium to be built on the North Shore.
