With 22,000 seats replaced at Acrisure Stadium, more new ones are coming.
Via Adam Babetski of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the Pittsburgh Sports and Exhibition Authority has approved funding for nearly 18,000 new seats at the place where the Steelers and Panthers play their home games.
The request was made last year to swap out 58,719 of the 68,400 seats at Acrisure Stadium. Many of the original seats were deteriorating.
The new seats will consist of a blend between yellow (85 percent) and gray (15 percent), somewhat numbing the glare from the venue when empty.
“The sea of gold sometimes gets overwhelming, so we did a little black and gold in there this time around," Steelers owner Art Rooney II said earlier this year.
The old seats have been sold, with more than $100,000 already generated and more than $100,000 more expected.
