Pittsburgh is rich in sports history, dating back 100 years, when local college footbalL teams were the first to wear numbered jerseys and play indoor games.

Early sports greatness paved the way for Pittsburgh's modern day moniker "City of Champions", including the Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins, each victorious in their World Championship quest for the Super Bowl, World Series, and Stanley Cup trophies.

Pittsburgh fans are among the most passionate of all sports fans, traveling near and far to support their teams. Pittsburgh Steelers football fans proudly call themselves "Steeler Nation" and can be seen waving their Terrible Towels by the thousands at Steeler home and away games.

You can learn about the legendary Pittsburgh greats at the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum, located on Smallman Street in the Strip District.
