The Rob Arra Collection

A new era of Steelers Football has begun! Sure, Three Rivers left behind 30 years of great memories, but as a multi-purpose sports arena it left much to be desired. On October 7, 2001, Pittsburgh football fans were treated to a Steelers victory at a stunning stadium designed for one thing and one thing only – STEELERS FOOTBALL!

On a bright fall day, with a bit of chill in the riverside air, the Steelers rode on the back of a historic performance by Jerome “The Bus” Bettis and defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 16-7. As you pan across this ultra-vivid print, you can see everything in perfect focus, as if you were still at the game! From the stadium scoreboards, to the fans in the stands, to the players on the field, to the downtown skyline beyond the Eastern end zone, it’s all here. A stunning piece for the wall of any fan, and a great collector’s item for years to come!
