**Gratitude in Bronze: Steelers Approve \$2.5 Million Terry Bradshaw Statue at Acrisure Stadium**
In a long-overdue tribute to one of the most iconic figures in NFL history, the Pittsburgh Steelers have officially approved a \$2.5 million project to erect a statue of legendary quarterback **Terry Bradshaw** outside **Acrisure Stadium**. The announcement has sparked a wave of celebration among fans, teammates, and football historians alike, honoring the man who helped define a golden era for the Steelers.
Bradshaw, who played his entire 14-season career in Pittsburgh from 1970 to 1983, led the Steelers to **four Super Bowl titles** in just six years—becoming the first quarterback in NFL history to win four Super Bowls. Known for his cannon arm, fearless playmaking, and larger-than-life personality, Bradshaw became the face of the team and a symbol of Pittsburgh pride.
The statue, which is scheduled for completion in 2026, will be placed prominently near the stadium entrance, joining the ranks of Steelers legends already immortalized in bronze. According to the team, the design will capture Bradshaw in a signature moment—arm cocked, eyes downfield, mid-play—symbolizing both his athletic greatness and unshakable leadership.
“This is a moment of deep gratitude,” said Steelers president Art Rooney II. “Terry Bradshaw is not just a Hall of Fame quarterback—he’s part of the soul of this franchise. His contributions to our team and our city go far beyond the field.”
Fans have long called for a permanent tribute to Bradshaw, whose post-football career as a broadcaster and entertainer has kept him in the public eye for decades. Now, his legacy will stand tall at the heart of Steelers territory—a reminder of the championships, the charisma, and the fearless spirit that made Bradshaw a true Pittsbur
gh legend.
