Former Steelers Head Coach Reveals Minecraft City He’s Been Building For 12 Years
Mike Tomlin, the longtime head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers who served in that role from 2007 to 2025, has revealed that he spent over a decade building an elaborate Minecraft city. The project, which has consumed more than 12 years of his time, represents a significant personal passion project that Tomlin is now sharing with the public through his new YouTube channel.
According to Tomlin, the Minecraft city began as a collaborative effort with his children, but evolved into a solitary endeavor as his family members grew older. Similar to how NFL rosters change annually, Tomlin remained the consistent creative force behind the city’s development. The scale of the project is substantial, featuring detailed skyscrapers and extensive architectural work that showcase the considerable time investment involved.
In his inaugural YouTube video, Tomlin provides a deep dive into the creation process and the city’s features, marking his first public documentation of the project. The video demonstrates the scope and complexity of what Tomlin has constructed within the game’s sandbox environment over more than a decade.
