NHL Winter Classic

Pittsburgh, Penn.

Heinz Field is home to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pittsburgh Panthers college football team.  Heinz Field opened in 2001 to replace the teams’ previous stadium, Three Rivers Stadium.  Heinz Field is located on the Allegheny River, on the North-Side of Pittsburgh.  The Steelers historic traditions can be seen at the Coca-Cola Great Hall.  The Great Hall is located on the east side of the stadium, and features a collection of Steelers and Panthers memorabilia.  The Great Hall also features the actual lockers of several former Steelers, including Hall of Fame members Franco Harris, Joe Greene, and Bill Dudley.  In 2007 the great hall was named the best concourse at an NFL stadium. 

PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, was rated in the top 7 of ballparks in America by ABC News.  Each season, the Pirates pick games that will be finished off with a world-class fireworks display! The park also includes great scenery of the downtown skyline.

The CONSOL Energy Center will be the new home for the Pittsburgh Penguins in their 2010/2011 season.  The Penguins were the Stanley Cup Champions in 2009. 

Pittsburgh will also host the 2010 U.S. Women’s Open in July at the Oakmont Country Club where Arnold Palmer will serve as the Honorary Chairman of the tournament.  It will also host the Winter Classic in 2011.
