PROFILE |
 |
The Pittsburgh Steelers have forged several NFL championships. Founded in 1933 as the Pirates, the football team (renamed in 1940) claimed winning seasons only eight times during its first 40 years. Yet in the 1970s -- led by quarterback Terry Bradshaw, receiver Lynn Swann, and the "Steel Curtain" defense -- the team won four Super Bowls over a six-year period. Often a contenders in the AFC during the 1990s, the team last reached the Super Bowl in 1996. The Steelers will open the 2001 season at the new 65,000 seat, $244 million Heinz Field. (The local condiment maker poured out $57 million for the naming rights.) The family of president Dan Rooney (son of late team founder Art Rooney) owns the team.
