Former Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin unveiled a massive Minecraft city he has been building for over 12 years. The Super Bowl-winning coach shared the project in a nearly 20-minute YouTube video, explaining how he became interested in the game after watching his kids play. Tomlin described the build as 'mindless entertainment' and therapeutic, helping him detach from the pressures of coaching.
His city features detailed neighborhoods, a boutique hotel with an executive spa and glass ceilings, apartment buildings with aquariums on each floor, and rooftop penthouses—one bearing a 'Trump Tower' sign, which he clarified was not an endorsement and built circa 2015. He emphasized attention to detail, including appropriate public restrooms in all facilities. Tomlin used the game to spend time with his children, who initially participated but eventually lost interest as they grew older.
He noted his own involvement fluctuated over time, increasing during certain periods. Tomlin coached the Steelers for 19 seasons from 2007 to 2025, never having a losing record, and stepped down on Jan. 13 before joining NBC Sports as an analyst. He teased future episodes revealing more of his world, including proximity to baseball and soccer stadiums.
