Answer: 2

Because World War II caused roster issues, the Pittsburgh Steelers merged in 1943 with Philadelphia. They were call the Phil-Pitt Eagles but were known as the Steagles.

Pittsburgh played over 30 seasons at Forbes Field until 1963, when they moved to Pitt Stadium for several seasons. Their next long-term home was Three Rivers Stadium. They played there from 1970 to 2000 before moving to Heinz Field in 2001.
4. Who was the inaugural coach of the Pittsburgh franchise?

Answer: Black and gold

Except for two very early seasons, black and gold have been the main team colors for this franchise throughout its history.

6. Prior to the AFL-NFL merger, how many times did the Pittsburgh franchise make the playoffs?
