The Pittsburgh Steelers were an outstanding team in the 70s. The Steelers made four appearances in 1975, 1976 and 1979 , 1980, and won in both consecutive years. The Pittsburgh Steelers became the first National Football League (NFL) team to win four Super Bowls. The Pittsburgh Steelers home stadium is Heinz Field. Pittsburgh Steelers are one of four teams in the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC), which is part of the National Football League (NFL). Originally called the Pirates, the Steelers wear uniforms of black and gold. The team takes its name from the steel producing factories in Pittsburgh. During the 1970s Head coach Chuck Noll commanded a talent laden club starring several future Hall of Fame members, including quarterback Terry Bradshaw, defensive end “Mean” Joe Greene, running back Franco Harris, and linebackers Jack Ham and Jack Lambert.

The Pittsburgh Pirates football team was founded in 1933 by Art Rooney. He named the team after Pittsburgh’s National League baseball team, and the two franchises shared Pittsburgh’s Forbes Field. In 1938 Rooney signed star running back Byron White. Nicknamed Whizzer because of his speed, White led the league in rushing that year, but the Pittsburgh Pirates won just two of nine games. After seven losing seasons, Rooney renamed his team the Steelers in 1940. The club registered only three winning records from 1942 to 1949. Its best player during this time was two time rushing champion Bill Dudley. In 1946 the versatile running back, who would eventually be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, led the National Football League (NFL) in rushing, interceptions, and punt returns. From 1950 to 1957 Pittsburgh failed to produce a winning record. Buy Pittsburgh Steelers Tickets.
