The NFL Draft will be the North Shore’s biggest sporting event to date, drawing half a million or more people over three days. Spectators will gather in the shadows of the city’s two 25-year-old sports cathedrals, Acrisure Stadium and PNC Park. How much do you know about what came before those buildings in the North Side’s rich history ([link removed]) ?
The 1880s saw the birth of the Pirates baseball club, playing at Exposition Park III ([link removed]) while Chester Arthur was president and the North Shore was part of independent Allegheny City.
Three Rivers Stadium typified the late-20th Century “cookie cutter” stadium style, which fell out of fashion not long after the Steelers and Pirates won a total of six championships as tenants.
Three Rivers was replaced by Acrisure Stadium and PNC Park in 2001, the latter in the retro ballpark style that became popular around the new millennium. It has almost matched Three Rivers’ lifespan ([link removed]) , but seems poised for a much longer life.
