The new season is bringing more than just football! Get a first look at the exciting new stadium features, enhancements and fan experiences designed to make gamedays better than ever.

“As Acrisure Stadium marks its 25th anniversary, we’re doing what we’ve always done: continually improve the stadium so we compete at the highest level, on and off the field. This offseason’s upgrades — from a new playing surface to expanded food offerings and enhanced in-game entertainment and more — are designed to set the team up for success and deliver a memorable gameday experience for every fan who walks through our gates.” - Jay Roberts, Vice President of Stadium Operations and Management

KEY ENHANCEMENTS

The new 1933 Club Presented by HEINZ(opens in new tab) delivers an elevated, all-inclusive gameday experience - pairing modern elegance with a speakeasy-inspired atmosphere. Members will enjoy elevated dining and beverages, comfortable lounge spaces, an expansive center bar with a resident mixologist, convenient grab-and-go offerings, screens throughout the club, exclusive behind-the-scenes views of the Steelers locker room entrance and player tunnel and direct access to the 100-level concourse.

Playing Surface at Acrisure Stadium: The playing field at Acrisure Stadium has a new look this season. Over the offseason, the field was changed to Tahoma 31 Bermudagrass sod grown on plastic, with turf for the regular season supplied by Tuckahoe Turf Farms in New Jersey. Developed at Oklahoma State University, Tahoma 31 is a cold, drought, and high-traffic tolerant Bermudagrass hybrid built to deliver superior traction and divot resistance — improving surface quality for players on gameday and week to week. Fans may notice the difference too: the new turf has a lighter green hue and won't develop the classic mowed-in stripe pattern.

NEW IN-GAME FEATURES & ENTERTAINMENT

Acrisure Stadium will roll out a new suite of in-game enhancements this season – from bold new graphics and visual content to live performances – all designed to engage the fans' senses and elevate the gameday experience to a new level. These include:

Ford Fan Zone Stage: A dedicated stage has been added inside the stadium, giving the ability to host in-game musical performances from DJs to bands.

Branding, Graphics and Content: Fans can expect refreshed stadium branding, upgraded scoreboards with fan-focused features and prizes, and a reimagined pregame intro celebrating the team’s traditions and hometown roots. New in-stadium TVs located throughout the concourses, clubs, and suites will also deliver clearer graphics, enhanced stats, and more ways to stay connected to the action throughout the stadium.

Gameday Magazine: The Steelers Gameday magazine has been reimagined from a traditional magazine to a fresh new multi-panel fold out.

Best of all, the resource unfolds into a full-sized, souvenir poster featuring a Steelers fan-favorite player.

The SAV offers a quiet, calm physical space where fans can step away for a moment to decompress before returning to the excitement of gameday. It reflects a shared commitment to ensuring sensory accessibility isn't an afterthought, but a built-in part of the fan experience — creating a more welcoming, supportive environment where every fan has a place to enjoy the game in the way that works best for them. Inside the stadium, sensory kits will continue to be available at all Guest Services and First Aid locations.
