Wishing the Pittsburgh Steelers’ franchise a very happy 89th birthday. They look great for their age. In fact, it’s a Steelers’ team who has gotten one heck of a facelift with two new quarterbacks, a rebadged offensive line, and new general manager to run the show.
On this date in 1933, Art Rooney Sr. – The Chief – officially bought the Pittsburgh Steelers for $2500. In today’s money, that’s the equivalent of $56,210.77, still a bargain for an organization now worth roughly $3.4 billion and with the way the sports market is going, they’re probably not worth a lot more than that.
