The Steelers would play their final game against the Washington Redskins (Football Team now)
Jerome Bettis would erupt for 100+ yds and the defense would swarm the ball for multiple turnovers in a 3-24 VICTORY.. The perfect way to end an historic run in an amazing stadium.
Three Rivers Stadium would be where history set itself in stone. The Steelers truly became the Steelers in that beautiful bowl shaped classic stadium. A part of history, of which I never got to never experience.

Thank you all so much for watching! I really missed watching these classic games! Content coming everyday! Stay tuned!
Kordell really had potential to be a special all time player, it’s a shame to see him not fully pan out. One of my favorites! 🖤💛
I really don't get what happened with Kordell. He had the talent and the skills and he played with a lot of heart.
@@gregorytaylor3146 It’s such a mentally tough position - They went through offensive coordinators after Chan Gailey left. Kordell’s best year was under Chan in 97’, of which, he also lost Yancey Thigpen.
He had to deal with the seemingly revolving door of these guys
98’ - Ray Sherman
99’-00’ - Kevin Gilbride
01’-03’ Mike Mularkey
@@ItzYinzburgh Mentally and intestinally. Kordell had the fortitude. Losing a guy like Thigpen definitely hurt. I remember seeing those uneven years.
@@ItzYinzburgh Agreed, plus I feel the Steelers organization never really fully committed to Kordell as the guy. After all he was banned from QB meetings in 99 when they wanted Kent Graham to QB and Kordell to be Slash again. Which in my opinion was kinda crappy for a developing QB. Plus after the 97 season we lost so much on both sides of the ball and were clearly in rebuild mode. But most steelers fans couldn't recognize that and turned on Kordell with a quickness. Btw Charles Johnson and Courtney Hawkins were our #1 and 2 Wrs in the late 90s, and were clearly not #1 or 2 wrs.
@@brypete You're right, and if you look at what guys like Mahomes and Jackson are doing for our rivals; Kordell was at least a decade ahead of his time
I was at this game. We was LIT beyond what I could even explain. And I mean LIT! 🔥🔥🔥
Lit and Blazing!
Miss the blast furnace
@@TheSteelers4190 Think we'll see the Four Blast Furnace Gates open this year?
Me too!! late December yet it was pouring AND lightning!! Surreal!!
Are you related to 49er great Ronnie Lott??
The bus was a straight beast. Kordell was before his time, hed be a probowl qb in todays NFL.
That's what many people forget. He was Michael Vick, before Michael Vick was...well, Michael Vick.
@@kdguy1126except Randall Cunningham came before both guys and was a lot better than Kordell or Vick.
@danstrader9418 this is true.
He did play in the pro bowl and was mvp of it
God i miss these Steelers smash mouth physical all around classical moment was when Jerome Bettis hugged Franco Harris 😭
kordell> lamar if kordell was in the nfl now
No just no
Y’all say anything 😂
Kordell wasn’t good and he wasn’t ahead of his time, Randall Cunningham was.
Kordell was never that good. Even in 2001 when they went 13-3, his numbers were nothing special. The defense carried that team during his tenure
Lamar sure chokes in playoffs like kordell always did
I have the panoramic scene of the last game framed in my garage.
I've got it framed in my bonus room along with a piece of Three Rivers Turf
I too was at this game sitting up top under the overhang. Good thing cause it rained all day. What I remember most is when the 2nd half started I heard banging and clanging and the sound of socket sets. Everyone around us was unbolting the seats in anticipation of taking one or more home. I laughed and said to one guy "You're never getting out of here with that". His response was "Yeah? We'll see". After the game we got downstairs and never, in my life, have I seen so many cops and security personnel. They were grabbing everyone who had a "souvenir". It was ridiculous. Good time.
This is awesome lol Man, I wish I had the chance to see this lol
We sent it off with a win :)
Opened the doors for a new and amazing era!
Great send off of Three Rivers for sure
Classic. If only Zereoue would have kept his footing
Wow! What a game. I remember it, but I forgot how well Kordell did play. The whole team was killing it, but the Bus was a monster. So many good players on that team that may have become forgotten.
Our family actually has a peice of the terf, and piece of concrete from three rivers. Thought I'd share that lol.
I’m honestly jealous lol That’s so awesome!
We have a piece of turf too! One of our families prized possessions
@@DouglasStevens0521 awesome!
Ever notice the Steelers always seem to have a guy named Washington on their team?
Sam Washington CB, Clay Washington CB, Nate Washington WR, and DeWayne Washington....
I know I'm forgetting one or two....
That's cuz they're patriotic!?
James Washington. The WR from OK state
Hard to believe that was 21 years ago lol Such exciting times in Steeler football!
Jonh Madden, let it go😆😆
How about it
I have a piece of turf framed from this game
That was Awesome! Thank you for sharing! So many Memories!
Thank you! So many memories as kid from 3 Rivers. I remember my Dad happy they went out with an easy victory!
We've got a nice panoramic photo from that game and a piece of turf from Three Rivers hanging up in our bonus room!
15:20 mark Bruener was the og big white tight end. Funny how Bruuuuu has morphed into Heeeeath
I always felt bad for Stewart. Three offensive coordinators in five years is just ridiculous. No wonder he had so many issues.
Yinz man idk you but you get a like! I’d like it 1M times if I could these vids are sick!!!
Man, I really appreciate it Mr. Jared! If you can figure out a way to like it 1M times, it would be greatly appreciated
We really beat them down !! #steelernation🖤💛
Awesome video ❤😇😇😇
This game took place in 2000 yet the video looks more like early 1990s.
Loved that video
I forgot how odd the football configuration was in the stadium
Awesome. Thank you.
When 3 rivers stadium was torn down in 2000 it was a sad day in Pittsburgh from 1970 to 2000 Alex
Three Rivers = the Mecca
Let's fucking go steelers man! We need to get back to this type of formula on offense in 2021.
Well as good as ben was well hava qb who'll score some points before the 3rd quarter now which is what this team needs
need to change the intro and put Najee in it instead of Snell
Wish I could go back in time until the steelers in 1997 to tank you're gonna tank you won't finish deadlines you want the number one over all pick and then to 1998 they draft Peyton Manning. I think we would have like 10 super bowls right now.
I've attended 1 NFL game and this is the one. I'm so glad if any, I attended this one.
I was too young for 3 Rivers. The atmosphere looked incredible
@ItzYinzburgh we stayed at the double tree and I have Polaroids of Kordell and I actually have an entire hat signed by the big 70s and 80s guys, the immaculate reception and all, with pics
He was extremely talented, his story should have ended differently in Pittsburgh.
I was at this game,the last pirates game at the stadium the summer leading upto this season and the last game at the civic arena. I still have the commemorative seat cushions they game out with the date and diagram of the stadium
Stadium seems a lot louder than heinz field.... I have lots of memories inside that stadium but my favorite would have to be everytime i saw Roberto in right field. I used to make my dad go early and buy general admission so we could be in the first row behind Roberto. I was only 7yrs old when it opened but that first time walking up those switch back ramps and getting the occasional glimpse of the field was like christmas morning to me. I had only been to a couple games at forbes field and barely remember them but three rivers stadium was like a shrine compared to it....plus taking the good ship lolly pop from the mom wharf was really cool.
Damn, you should've shown the demolition at the end, and then maybe the opening of the new, Heinz Field. Your 💩 is absolutely always top notch, so forgive me for being an armchair QB, lol.
Oh Hell Yeah, Real football
Rip Franco 18:28
Last time was there damn near 40 years ago I left with a game used Dale Berra bat :)
Me and my brother left Columbus Ohio got into Pittsburgh at four in the morning stood in line and ran as fast as we could to get front side river seats for the implosion. Still have a great video of that morning. Smoking on trees, drinking beers was an absolute blast. Pun intended.
Two smash mouth legends 86&36
I loved it when Myron called Snyder a "boy billionaire" and told him to stick his head in a can of paint.
Kordell really was a revolutionary
The Steelers are the best team in the AFC conference . I've been a Steelers fan since the 70 and til this day I'm still representing the black and gold. GO STEELERS FOR LIFE 😀👍
Steelers should have just kept three rivers stadium instead of getting a new stadium like the pirates did
Like the stadium, the 2000 redskins season died on this day
ME AND MY DAD WERE AT THE LAST GAME!! Came out from Montana. Unreal!! We got to go on the field after the game
The Blast Furnace !!
I was working on the 5th floor at The Allegheny CLub during this game. What a great memory.
Dang 3 Rivers stadium was only 30 years old and Heinz field (I know but I’ll never call it by it’s new name) is 21 years old, so around 9 years we might be getting a new stadium? I like Heinz name but they should of kept the name 3 Rivers stadium....either name is fine tho...just not that new name, sounds like somewhere you go to get false teeth or something.
I miss Jerome Bettis so much lol
My brother in law from pittsburgh area and has 2 seats from 3 rivers stadium in his garage🙂
That’s awesome!!
That was on my birthday remember that game forsure
They need to start painting the Heinz field end zones again, when you see that gold end zone you know you're in steeler country. Few more years and pittsburgh be ready for new improve stadium open air of course
I swear Mark Bruener made catching the ball on the run so difficult 🤣
At 63 i spent quite a few double headers there including one that both games went over including one thst went 18 innings and the fireworks night went off at 230 in morning in the 80s poor north siders,got to see seaver ,smoltz,glavine ozzie stargell gibson lewzinski and dozens of other hofers miss the history of that stadium,great memories
I think John Bois did a story with an FBI analyst. The FBI dude said he's 99.9% sure it was a catch
I really like Heinz Field. It is a great place to play ball. the open end looking out across the water, and skyline. But Having grown up in the 60's, and 70's, it was Three rivers I grew up with once it was built. That place was loud, and it shook from people jumping up and down. A ton of history there. and we got to see first hand one of the worst teams in the NFL, change into one of the best teams ever. These throwback games bring back a lot for me, thanks.
I’m working on another big summer push of these videos but I need to write down all the games I have done, after the last couple of years I fear I’ll double up on these by accident 😂
not a lot of people know jerome bettis started with the rams, they called him the battering Ram
Anyone in pgh does....
Was there
The legendary Three Rivers Stadium used from Pittsburgh Steelers on NFL and Pittsburgh Pirates on MLB when Roberto Clemente makes history, the famous 3000th hits
if the 2021 steelers had this run attack
I was fortunate to attend two games where the Steelers played their last game in a particular stadium, Three Rivers and Municipal Stadium. This one was exciting, the game in Cleveland was sad. It was quite an experience to be involved in a chant of "Modell sucks" by 70k. Of course, I had a huge concrete column blocking my view and had to pisss in a latrine, might also have used a sink and a garbage can as well. That stadium needed to go, but the original Browns did not.
I remember watching the game while listening to Bill and Myron and Myron kept calling them the Wash Red Faces. He claimed that Daniel Snyder sent somebody to the booth to ask him to stop it. He didn't stop.
Few other things. This was a Saturday afternoon game so the whole country watched. The Steelers started 0-3 but finished 9-7 and needed Indy to lose to make the playoffs but they didn't. With a few breaks and if officials didn't blow calls in two other losses (the league literally apologized for them) they could have been 13-3 (which they would do in 2001).
The aforementioned Snyder was a new owner in the NFL and tried to make a splash by bringing in every big named player he could like Deion Sanders, Bruce Smith, Brad Johnson and others. They were still trash.
I was driving through Western PA during the game. Listened to Myron Cope call the first half. Had never heard him before. All I can say is, what a voice...what a game..
Missing Kordell right now.
The greatest game in Steelers history was the immaculate reception
So many great memories of Three Rivers Stadium. I loved seeing Mean Joe Greene. I watched the game when Terry’s pass bounced off the helmet & Franco took it in for TD to win the game. Stewart could have been so much more had he been given a chance. This team had so much 1st class talent. You could never count them out because they never gave up. My fav Bettis never disappoints. Ward everywhere & making great clutch catches.
We Will We Will Rock You.
Another great one, Itz.
Thanks for the memories.
Wife told me "You turned me into a Steelers fan so now take me to some games"
That’s awesome!
I lived a block away from 3 rivers. They’d open it up the 7th inning so anyone could walk right in. Good times
My God I had forgotten what a monster Bettis was and how hard he was to bring down. A true smash mouth football player and so bloody quick in his prime.
Then there was Ward the consummate professional with that infectious smile and golden hands, speed and grace. Lethal at any time in any game.
Three rivers hosted some of thd most brilliant players and brilliant teams ever to play the game. As a stadium it was not great at all but its memories are and thats what matters most.
Bro awesome channel love the content
Thank you 🖤💛 Glad you enjoy it!
I was at the implosion....such a special moment. There was so many memories for everyone.
the end of this stadium broke a piece of my heart, i remember seeing the steelers and pirates play there. so many great played in that stadium. remember seeing andy van slyke hitting a 2 run shot in a loss to the braves back in the early 90s i was a kid. best day of my life and andy was my favorite.
I have so many memories of running around that stadium when it was set up for the Pirates and the Steelers and was able to hangout in the dugouts and the locker rooms and meeting Barry Bonds when he was still very young and Bobby Bonilla and the rest of the 90 to 93 teams it was amazing for a young kid that I was then and having Doug Drebeck "or how ever it spelled" pitch to me trying to teach me a couple things but just making a young kid happy because they knew my Grandfather that worked in 3Rivers since the early 70s...
GREAT TIMES THAT WILL BE CHERISHED AND ALWAYS MADE GREAT MEMORIES
Was there. Excellent video.
Great video! Thank you! My grandfather helped build that stadium. He was a heavy machine operator. You should make a video of the construction of Heinz field.
Madden kind of pissed me off calling the Sideline a Dugout.
He was probably really talking about the dugout. Three rivers had baseball games there too.
3 rivers was like Thunderdome, made 50,000 fans sound like 100k.
Great video. I was fortunate enough to attend a Steelers game in the fall of 1998 at 3 rivers (I'm on the west coast so it is/was a big deal) and being a die hard Steelers fan it was literal nirvana.
I find it incredibly interesting when anyone talks about scrambling QB's that Kordell is never mentioned. Heck he was even nicknamed slash if that doesn't sum up how versatile and just plain good he was.
Slash probably gets overlooked in the scrambling QB discussion simply because he was better known for his true "Slash" days, before he became a full-time QB. Heck, I've followed the Steelers since 1969 and I tend to forget to think of him in that way.
Great memories as a kid in the 70's watching the Steelers play in Three Rivers, it was a sad day to see it go down.
