Steeler Nation is taking the team’s decision to change the name of the stadium from Heinz Field to Acrisure Stadium pretty hard. When it comes to the Pittsburgh Steelers and its fanbase, this group can be stubborn and sentimental.
Former Steelers running back Rocky Bleier was asked about the switch and offered up what might be the most logical and reasonable solution to please both sides.
From a business standpoint, Acrisure is paying a lot of money for the naming rights and so it has to be in the name. But Bleier suggests “Rooney Field” and then follow it up with whatever sponsorship the team has entered into and fans can just call it Rooney Field.
Let us know in the comments below what you think of Bleier’s idea and don’t forget to vote in our poll about what you plan to call the stadium.
