Black & Gold Pittsburgh History Tour for Sports Fans
Overview
Our tour for sports fans! Welcome to the City of Champions! Six Super Bowl Rings, 5 World Series Pennants, and 5 Stanley Cups are just part of the history of Pittsburgh Sports. On this tour, you’ll visit the sites that tell the stories of the icons and iconic events that have made die hard fans of locals and others across the country, and the world. You’ll learn fascinating and unique histories of team names and uniforms, crazy traditions of Pierogis Races, Terrible Towels, the glory days of the Negro Leagues, and Pittsburgh’s role in furthering player safety. Along the way, we will also see some notable landmarks that help tell the story of this city that grew from a frontier outpost to one responsible for creating the infrastructure of the United States in the mid 19th century, and heralding today’s achievements in AI, robotics, and biomedical research.
