A look back at Three Rivers Stadium
AP
This twilight time exposure shows the new Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh on July 15, 1970, due to open with a game between the Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds. In the background is the city’s North Side. Parking areas and roads in the vicinity, as well as a few minor parts of the stadium, will not be ready for the opener.
Three Rivers Stadium was the home of the Pirates and the Steelers from 1970 to 2000. Built as a multi-purpose stadium to replace Forbes Field, Three Rivers Stadium was imploded in 2001, when the Pirates moved to PNC Park and the Steelers moved to Heinz Field. Here is a look back at the stadium from The Tribune-Review, Getty Images and Associated Press archives.
