Acrisure Stadium Opened In 2001
Acrisure Stadium, formerly known as Heinz Field, has been the home of the Steelers since 2001. The venue replaced the legendary Three Rivers Stadium, which the Steelers shared with the
Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball from 1970 to 2000.
The Steelers got a brand new stadium when they moved into Heinz Field in 2001. That same year, the Pirates moved into PNC Park, regarded as one of the best ballparks in the majors today.
Home of the Steelers for 24 years, Acrisure Stadium was featured in the iconic football scenes of “The Dark Knight Rises”, the final installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.
Pittsburgh has only had one losing season since moving into its current home, back in 2003. They’ve hosted four AFC Championship Games (2001, 2004, 2008 and 2010) here, winning the last two.
Brandon Graham Officially Signs One-Year Deal to Rejoin Eagles After Coming Out of Retirement
Philadelphia, PA – October 22, 2025
The Philadelphia Eagles have officially re-signed franchise legend Brandon Graham
on a one-year contract worth $1,255,000, the veteran minimum salary under the NFL’s CBA for players with more than 15 years of experience.
The move comes as the Eagles continue to battle depth issues at
edge rusher, with Za’Darius Smith recently retiring and both Nolan Smith Jr. and Ogbo Okoronkwo sidelined on injured reserve due to triceps injuries. Graham’s return provides leadership, energy, and experience to a defense that has struggled to stay healthy through the first half of the season.
Graham, 37, retired this offseason after 15 unforgettable years with Philadelphia — becoming the longest-tenured player in franchise history. Known for his toughness, charisma, and relentless motor, he helped the Eagles capture
two Super Bowl titles (LII and LIX) and delivered one of the most iconic plays in team history — the strip-sack on Tom Brady that sealed the victory in Super Bowl LII.
The veteran’s comeback comes just in time, with Week 9 serving as the team’s bye week, allowing him roughly two weeks to ramp up before a Week 10 showdown against the Green Bay Packers
.
Head coach Nick Sirianni praised Graham’s return, calling it “a spark of energy that every great locker room needs.”
“Brandon’s more than just a player — he’s the heartbeat of this team. Having him back means everything, not just for what he brings on the field, but for the standard he sets every single day.”
Graham himself shared a heartfelt message about why he decided to return — not for money or records, but for pride and brotherhood.
“I didn’t come back for money — that part of my career is over. What got me off the couch was watching my brothers fight through injuries and seeing the criticism they’ve taken online. I couldn’t just sit and watch. This time, I’m coming back for one reason — to retire in February with my third ring on my finger.”
Now entering his 16th NFL season, Brandon Graham returns to the same field where his legacy was built — not to rewrite history, but to finish it on his own terms. His comeback isn’t about nostalgia; it’s about one last mission: helping Philadelphia raise another Lombardi Trophy.
