The Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase travels well and can make any venue fill with Black and Gold and Terrible Towels, and at Acrisure Stadium, Pittsburgh’s home-field advantage is one of the best in football. In a survey of 111 players by ESPN, Pittsburgh was ranked the ninth-toughest place to play in the NFL, making the third tier of difficulty.
Tier No. 1 included Kansas City at No. 1 and Seattle at No. 2, who had significantly more votes than No. 3 Minnesota. Philadelphia, Buffalo and New Orleans were listed in tier two while Denver, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Baltimore and Cleveland all made tier 3.
