#OTD in #SteelersHistory 1970 the #Steelers began training in Three Rivers Stadium for the first time. They would remain there for thirty years before Heinz Field became their new home. They now train at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex on the South Side.

#OTD in #SteelersHistory 1974 UPI reported #Steelers Terry Bradshaw had turned down a tremendous offer to play for the New York Stars in the World Football League. What a game changer that would have been for #SteelersNation if Bradshaw had played in New York and not Pittsburgh.

#OTD in #SteelersHistory 1973 the Lebanon Daily News printed Jack Ham's prediction the #Steelers would win the Super Bowl. Ham may have been a year premature in his forecast but it confirmed the growing confidence in the team with their continued advancement under Coach Noll.

I’m a personal trainer as well as a coach – weightlifting is still a thing for me. I see James Harrison still hip thrusting 700 pounds on IG! When I would get there in the facility it was something special to open the doors & see a future Hall of Famer like him working non-stop.

I trained with Terrell Owens every Spring break. He told me I needed to get on the field & do everything I possibly could. So I did punt returns - kickoff returns, hell I think I even kicked FGs! That was how I think my name got out there in the pot for teams to even look at me.

#OTD in #SteelersHistory 1970 the Shreveport Journal highlighted #Steelers Coach Noll's confidence in the team's ability to win a championship and four seasons later with local boy Terry Bradshaw leading the team the coach would be proved right.

#OTD in #SteelersHistory 1943 AP brought the merger of the #Steelers and the Eagles to #NFL fans attention as WW2 continued to drain the players availability while they wore a different uniform.
