Heinz Field is the 17th-largest stadium in the NFL. Capacity is only 68,400. But when Steeler Nation fills it up, few teams have the home-field advantage the Pittsburgh Steelers do.
Last season the COVID-19 pandemic forced all teams including the Steelers to play to empty or near-empty stadiums all season. This hit the Pittsburgh players particularly hard and with the word the team hopes to have full capacity for this season, are ready to get back to business as usual.
Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, tight end Eric Ebron and defensive tackle Cam Heyward have already taken to social media to talk about how ready they are to play in front of the fans. For Ebron, this will be his first opportunity after joining the team last season.
The Steelers got off to an 11-0 start in 2020 before falling apart down the stretch, going 1-4 before falling in the first round of the playoffs to the Cleveland Browns.
