Here’s what’s new at Acrisure Stadium for 2024 NFL season

PITTSBURGH — Acrisure Stadium, the home of the Pittsburgh Steelers, has undergone a series of enhancements during the offseason.

The enhancements were made to ensure the best-in-class gameday experience for Steelers fans during this season and beyond, team officials said.

“Steelers fans are the best fans in sports, and we believe they deserve a gameday experience to match,” said Steelers Vice President of Sales and Marketing Ryan Huzjak. “We listened to feedback from Season Ticket Holders and gameday attendees last season and implemented a series of gameday enhancements based on that input. As we kick off the 2024 regular season, having worked hard in the offseason to turn fan input into key improvements, we couldn’t be more excited to unveil what’s new at Acrisure Stadium.”

Here’s what’s new at Acrisure Stadium that fans can see this year:
