Kenny Chesney’s 12th Pittsburgh stadium show sets\npersonal Steel City high of 60,126 fans
Chesney has played for almost 623,000 spectators in his 12 Acrisure Stadium/Heinz Field shows.
PITTSBURGH ― Country superstar Kenny Chesney’s 12th Pittsburgh stadium show Saturday drew a personal record of 60,126 spectators.
A flotilla of fans, eight and 10 boats deep, docked on the North Shore outside the stadium also partaking in the fun.
“They call it Steel Town for a reason,” Chesney said afterward in a press release. “They came to see with a purpose! Those hearts are so strong and true: you could hear it when they sang, and looking out, you could see it in the way they waved their arms side-to-side. They were on their feet and had their hands in the air the entire show. I knew I was going to do ‘There Goes My Life’ when I woke up, but seeing the entire stadium lit up with their lights? It’s one of the most beautiful memories of my life.”
Chesney’s 2024 tour has been setting personal records since kicking off in Tampa. Uncle Kracker and Megan Moroney, an Academy of Country Music Awards’ female nominee, joined Chesney on stage at Acrisure for “All The Pretty Girls.”
A total of 622,882 concertgoers have attended Chesney’s 12 Pittsburgh stadium shows, the press release said.
“Build it with friendship and love, and something really special happens,” Chesney said. “The band is white hot and so tight; you can feel how much fun they’re having with every solo and jam – and the audience picks up on that. It was an undeniably incredible night, and as much as people thought we were crazy doing this in Pittsburgh in 2005, I can say absolutely, No Shoes Nation always shows up and delivers. They lifted us again to new heights.”
Taylor Swift holds Acrisure/Heinz Field’s single-show attendance record of 73,117, set last year.

Schenley Park ice skating rink opens for the season
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Schenley Park’s ice skating rink has reopened after equipment problems led to it being shut down last year.
City leaders attended a ribbon cutting ceremony Tuesday evening before people laced up their skates for the first time.
“This is what our city is about,” said Mayor Ed Gainey. “Our city is about bringing people together and creating amenities they can have memories on. And now there will be a lot of young children who will come here and make memories with their family.”
The rink will be open for select hours every day.
A number of special skating events will be held at the rink throughout the winter season, including Skate With Santa, Mascot Skate, Disco Night, and others.
Admission to the rink is $5 for adults, $4 for seniors, and $3 for youth and children. Skate rentals are available for $3.
The city says that outdoor skating is dependent on the weather and that warm temperatures and sunshine can cause problems with the ice.
More information about the skating rink can be found online.

Steelers Re-Sign Former Defensive Standout
The Pittsburgh Steelers have announced that they are reuniting with safety Eric Rowe by signing him to their practice squad.
The moves comes after Rowe worked out for the Steelers alongside Marquise Blair last week.
After Pittsburgh released Terrell Edmunds ahead of its Week 10 matchup with the Washington Commanders, there was a clear need for additional safety depth. While Rowe won’t immediately become a member of the 53-man roster, there’s certainly a path towards that resolution down the line.
Rowe joined the Steelers’ practice squad late last season on Nov. 20, 2023. He eventually found his way into a major role as they secured a playoff spot, starting each of the team’s final three games while logging 155 snaps.
The 32-year-old also earned 57 reps in Pittsburgh’s Super Wild Card Weekend meeting with the Buffalo Bills. Rowe was not brought back during the offseason, and remained on the open market until he signed with the Steelers on Tuesday morning.
He began his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles as a second-round pick in 2015, though he was traded to the New England Patriots just a year later.
The Utah product spent three seasons there, winning Super Bowls LI and LIII in the process, before becoming a member of the Miami Dolphins in 2019 and staying there through 2022. Rowe was rostered by the Carolina Panthers in 2023, though he was let go at final cuts that August.
