CITY OF CHAMPYINZ

At its heart, Pittsburgh is a football and baseball town. Though its fans are famously loyal, Pittsburgh is a small market with heated competition for viewership, fan attendance, and space to play in the city. Hockey and soccer have worked to gain a foothold with kids and parents alike over the past fifty years, as more money entered the game at the professional levels around the world. 

​

For Pittsburgh, sport has been part of its civic revitalization. Its successes on the field and on the ice have made Pittsburgh a global city with a global presence.
