The Pittsburgh Legacy

Pittsburgh is so much all wrapped into one Black- and Gold-colored package. We're known for our sports, our pierogies, our steel mills, and our grit. But below the surface, underneath the French fries on salads and between the lines of Renegade in the fourth quarter, the city is so much more. Sure, our legacy was forged in steel, but it continues through our hospitality, our arts, our innovation, and our future.

Pittsburgh Sports Heroes

You won't find another city where the sports fans are more prideful. We bleed Black and Gold, we rally with our Terrible Towels from Pittsburgh to any away game, including in other countries, we celebrate our legends and love our neighbors.

The legacy of the City of Champions runs deep, with hometown heroes and those who came here and fully embraced Pittsburgh as their home.

The Art of the Game

Pittsburgh's sports are about more than what happens on the field or ice. At the intersection of sports and art comes several murals that pay respect to our legends from all industries. From those that are tucked away in secret corners of the city to ones that run along our famous rivers, our heroes come alive right in front of our eyes in these masterpieces.

Our Sports Heritage Trail, outlined by curators at the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum at the Heinz History Center, features some of these pieces – both famous and little-known – where so many milestones have (and will) take place!

Innovation & Industry

Pittsburgh was forged by steel, but it continues to evolve with the times. Our innovation have made us leaders in several industries, and we're just getting started. Pittsburghers have had ideas that have changed our way of life, and we continue to build off of that foundation to introduce new technologies that go beyond our history while still honoring it.
