Heinz Field is back! This time it’s in Aliquippa.
Pittsburgh and Chicago based Kraft Heinz announced Tuesday the Aliquippa Quips’ newly renovated football stadium, also known at “The Pit” will be called Heinz Field.
The company is also making a $1.3 million donation to the Aliquippa School District that will consist of the construction of a new academic and athletic center that will be attached to Heinz Field.
“Kraft Heinz is proud to call Pittsburgh home as our co-headquarters, and we’re excited to bring Heinz Field back to the community in a new and meaningful way,” said Carlos Abrams-Rivera, Executive Vice President and President, North America at Kraft Heinz. “We look forward to seeing Heinz Field live on as part of the Aliquippa community.”
“Our beloved stadium has recently undergone a complete transformation, and we’re thrilled to continue this momentum with a new academic and athletic center for our students and community members in partnership with Kraft Heinz,” said Dr. Phillip K. Woods, Aliquippa School District Superintendent. “We’re incredibly proud of our athletics program, which has the most Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League football titles in league history and three alumni in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Kraft Heinz’s donation will help us further our legacies together and will impact Aliquippa, a deserving community, for generations to come.”
Heinz Field will be ready for this coming football season and the new center will be completed by 2025.
Aliquippa won its 19th WPIAL title this past season.
