Acrisure Stadium will feel a little warmer in 2026. It won’t be because a head coach is on the hot seat, either. The Pittsburgh Steelers have received nearly $500,000 for stadium upgrades. Chiefly, to install 69 new heaters located around the stadium.
“The Sports and Exhibition Authority, which controls Acrisure Stadium’s lease, on Thursday approved $479,500 for Steelers affiliate PSSI Stadium Corporation to replace a total of 69 unit heaters — 60 electric and 9 hydronic,” wrote the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Adam Babetski.
“The heaters are original to the stadium, located in its restrooms, concession stands and retail spaces, and they protect water pipes from freezing, said SEA Project Executive Doug Straley.
