The complete story
Art Rooney founded the franchise in 1933 as the Pittsburgh Pirates, sharing the baseball team's name, before renaming it the Steelers in 1940 to reflect the city's steel industry; the Rooney family has owned the team ever since. After decades of struggle, the Steelers built an NFL dynasty in the 1970s behind the 'Steel Curtain' defense, winning four Super Bowls in six years, then added two more titles in the 2000s. The franchise has played at Forbes Field, Pitt Stadium, Three Rivers Stadium, and since 2001 at what is now Acrisure Stadium, and shares one of the NFL's fiercest rivalries with the Baltimore Ravens.
