Steel City Legacy

Steel City Legacy is a multi-episode documentary series exploring the storied history of the Pittsburgh Steelers from their founding by Art Rooney in 1933 through their current era under head coach Mike Tomlin. The series features exclusive interviews with former players, coaches, and key figures within the organization, offering unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to training camps, locker rooms, and game-day preparations. The documentary traces pivotal moments in franchise history, including the dominance of the 1970s dynasty that won four Super Bowls in six years behind the legendary "Steel Curtain" defense and Terry Bradshaw's quarterbacking, through the 2000s resurgence that added two more Lombardi trophies. Personal stories of franchise icons Joe Greene, Franco Harris, Terry Bradshaw, and Ben Roethlisberger are woven throughout. Netflix also released the companion documentary Tradition Is Excellence focusing specifically on the legendary careers of Bradshaw and Roethlisberger. The timing is significant: the 2026 NFL Draft is being held in Pittsburgh, prompting a wave of Steelers-related content. NFL Films premiered The Football Town at the Kamin Science Center's Rangos Giant Cinema on February 28, 2026, exploring the region's deep football tradition. Pittsburgh's six Super Bowl championships and 25 Hall of Fame players make the Steelers one of the NFL's most documented franchises.
