Suites & Stadium Overview
Heinz Field, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is home to the Pittsburgh Steelers of the National Football League (NFL) and the Pittsburgh Panthers of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The stadium is located in the city’s North Shore neighborhood and was designed with the city of Pittsburgh's history of steel production in mind, which led to the inclusion of 12,000 tons of steel into its design.
Heinz Field is owned by the Sports & Exhibition Authority of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, and operated by the Pittsburgh Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh. Interestingly, Heinz Field served as the home field of the Gotham Rogues in the 2012 film The Dark Knight Rises. An estimated 15,000 unpaid extras filled the stadium during the shooting of the film on August 6, 2011.
Notable events hosted at Heinz Field include the 2011 NHL Winter Classic, the 2001, 2004, 2008, and 2010 NFL Divisional Round Championships, and the 2001, 2004, 2008, and 2010 NFL Conference Championships. The National Hockey League’s (NHL) Pittsburgh Penguins will play host to the Philadelphia Flyers outdoors at Heinz Field on Feb. 25, 2017, as part of the 2017 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series. Notable musicians to take the Heinz Field stage include 'N Sync, Taylor Swift, Guns ‘N Roses, Kenny Chesney, and LeAnn Rimes.

Host to more than 20 large-scale events a year, Heinz Field offers a multitude of entertainment options. Many VIP seating areas and private luxury boxes are available only through annual or multi-year leases; others are available for rent on a per-game basis. Pittsburgh Steelers Suites can accommodate groups and parties of various sizes. Types of Steeler suites for rent or lease include:
- 300 Level Luxury Pittsburgh Steelers Suites (seat 6-18)
- 400 Level Luxury Pittsburgh Steelers Suites (seat 6-18)
- Steelers Party Suite (seats up to 33)
Pittsburgh Steeler suites offer the ultimate game day experience, with exclusive access to VIP clubs and restaurants. Steeler suites can accommodate groups of various size, are often available for a single game (as opposed to full-season leases), and sometimes include food and beverage in the cost. In addition to the listings publicly displayed on the SuiteHop Marketplace, we are often able to help clients secure both private and party suites through our offline network.
Private Rentals & Suite Ticket Prices
Premium full suite rentals for popular games and special events typically fall within the range of $15,000 to $36,000 per day, depending on the size, type, and location of luxury box. For example, Sunday, Monday, and Thursday night professional football games tend to be more expensive than Sunday afternoon games. The same suites for lower demand games and events can often be reserved for $10,000 to $15,000 per day. Individual suite tickets are comparably priced to seats in the Club sections or other desirable areas at Heinz Field.
Annual Suite Leases
Full-season Steeler suite leases are available directly from the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field, ranging from $70,000 to $180,000 per year. The actual price will depend on the suite’s size, location, and lease terms.
Lease terms are offered in commitments from six to ten years. Pittsburgh Steelers Suite owners with annual leases are allowed to buy unlimited non-suite tickets as well as three to ten Standing Room Only (SRO) suite tickets for each game. Half-season and partial-season leases are not being offered for sale at this time.
Renting a Heinz Field Suite Through SuiteHop
Pricing on SuiteHop is market-based, with suite owners determining the price at which they choose to list. The list price is a reflection of availability, the popularity of the event, the exact location of the suite, whether or not catering and parking passes are included, and the suite owner’s choice of selling their suite in its entirety or by the individual seat, among other factors.
Benefits of buying through SuiteHop may include...
- access to suites that are not otherwise available elsewhere, including when the event is sold out,
- ability to purchase individual tickets within suites,
- market-based pricing can be below box office pricing,
- transparent, real-time online pricing and ordering, and,
- availability of full event planning services including ticket distribution, RSVP/invitation management, celebrity appearances, branded promotional/gift items, dedicated in-suite concierge service, and more!
Renting a Heinz Field Suite Through The Venue
Pricing through the box office is determined by team and/or venue management. Suite pricing is not typically published online and often requires offline contact with a sales representative. Large “Party Suites” sometimes sell individual tickets as part of a shared environment, while private suites usually require purchase of the entire space.
Benefits of buying through the venue may include…
- full year and multi-year suite leases only available through venue,
- venue pricing that is sometimes below marketplace pricing, and,
- a direct relationship with the venue for access to future promotions.
