Steelers History


History of the Steelers

                                The Steelers, one of the greatest in the NFL. The Pittsburgh Steelers have got it together for the last 44 years of Super Bowls. The reason for that is they have had 6 Super Bowl wins and 9 Super Bowl appearances. That is more than any other team, the closest team to them is the 49ers.

Steelers field name is Heinz field but it always hasn’t been that forever they changed the name in the season of 2000 it was changed from Three Rivers Stadium . It was called Three Rivers because its stadium is on the edge of 3 rivers that connect, the Allegany River, the Ohio River, and the Monongahela river. Three Rivers Stadium had 30 seasons played in it, the last regular season game was played on Saturday December 16, 2000 against the Washing ton Redskins, which they won.
Some of the greatest Steelers players that played at that field where Kordell Stewert, Joe Greene, John Stallworth, Andy Russell,  Lynn Swann, and Hines Ward. Some of the Steelers that where elected into the hall of fame, but here are some of the players that did get elected to the Steelers hall of fame, Chuck Noll, Jack Ham, Terry Bradshaw, Jack Butler, Joe Greene, and Rod Woodson.

The Pittsburgh Steelers today have a vast foundation of players and coaches. The Steelers head coach right now is Mike Tomlin and the quarterback is Ben Roethlisberger, and the three people on defense that mainly hold it together are Troy Polamalu, James Harrison, and Ryan Clark. The Steelers cruel Rival is the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers colors are black and yellow and that is one of their team songs. They have always had a talented team and I believe they always will.
