On a hot August night in 1985, Walter J. Lascola was seated in the stands watching a Steelers game when he decided to crawl across a wire strung across the fifth level of Three Rivers Stadium, 60 feet above the ground.
The #Steelers were 169-67 in regular-season games at Three Rivers Stadium
The team's .716 winning percentage in home games during the Three Rivers Stadium era - 1970-2000 - was second-best among all #NFL teams
Miami 173-61-1 (.738)
Pittsburgh 169-67 (716)
Denver 167-66-4 (.713)
Sure it was dark, dank and all gray concrete but 18 years after it's demolition, #ThreeRiversStadium was still home and where many of us became @Pirates and @Steelers fans. https://t.co/xDGgqOLuId
On board the Gateway Clipper Fleet's big boat, The Majestic, 18 years ago today 2001. It was a Sunday AM, the PA LCB had just shut down the bars on board, because 18 years ago in PA you couldn't serve alcohol on Sunday mornings. Sober, we all said goodbye to Three Rivers Stadium.
GOODBYE, THREE RIVERS: Do you remember? 18 years ago today, an implosion brought down the longtime home of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers. https://t.co/uA7YFjONlj
18 years ago today, we lost Three Rivers Stadium. 😢
The former home of the Steelers and the Pirates saw a lot of sports history over the years. What's your favorite Three Rivers Stadium moment?
Close your eyes ... take a deep breath ... slowly you can still smell the nachos ... there I am in your heart. We’re still together always and forever! #BurghProud#HereWeGo#LetsGoBucs#ThreeRiversStadium
It’s been 18 long years since they killed me. But my memory lives on in your hearts. Feel free to RT and share a fond memory of me today. I love you Pittsburgh! #BurghProud#HereWeGo#LetsGoBucs

The 7x All-Star was 1979 NL co-MVP, + NLCS and WS MVP.
He hit 475 career HR.
What a gem of a photo. The late Dr. Thomas Starzl playing catch in the old Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh.
Happy birthday to the father of transplant. #UPMCinnovates#H2P
