We are the champions.
There’s no denying that Pittsburgh is a sports town to its core. Sports have been synonymous with our region for as long as steel. It doesn’t matter what the game is — if you can throw it, kick it, run it, or watch it, we’re all in. No matter what your playing field looks like, you’ll find a home for it here.
And, true to our hands-on roots, we usually aren’t content to sit on the sidelines. Whether you’re a former pro, learning something new, or returning to the pastime you loved as a child, you’re likely to find a place to flex your muscle memory, and like-minded people to play with.
