It’s undergone an enlargement and upgrades through the years, similar to a brand new scoreboard above the North finish zone to avoid wasting the necks of individuals sitting on the South finish.

Modifications Not Made
The Steelers didn’t make some modifications I’d wish to see. My first precedence is dropping the costs of concessions. The Rooney household carries the popularity of being fan pleasant, however Atlanta Falcons proprietor Arthur Clean put that precept into motion by drastically dropping concession costs just a few seasons in the past. That made it extra reasonably priced for households. And really, elevated the Falcons’ revenues. I finished shopping for meals within the stadium just a few years in the past since it’s so pricey.
The shortage of satisfactory bandwidth is irritating. The truth is that many followers attending video games are utilizing their telephones to remain abreast of their fantasy leagues, posting snaps onto social media, or staying in touch with fellow followers watching the video games at house. The Wi-Fi service has improved. However my good telephone nonetheless lags throughout video games.
Conclusion
The Steelers are making enhancements. However a number of the options such because the premium seating are priced nicely past the typical Joe’s means. I’ll strive to take a look at a few of these options throughout the video games I attend this season beginning with the house opener in opposition to the Chargers.
