Punching Bag Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 They need to replace head coach with Gregg Williams so there can be meeting between Gregg Williams (NFL coach) and Greg Williams (Acrisure president).  Heinz Field has a new name, and Steelers fans hate it https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/steelers/2022/07/11/heinz-field-naming-rights-deal-acrisure-stadium/stories/202207110054 Quote For 21 years, Pittsburgh’s football stadium was named after one of the most visible food brands in the world. One that had deep local roots. Now, it’s named after an insurance company many people have never heard of.  Heinz Field will become Acrisure Stadium in 2022 after the Steelers sold the naming rights to the Michigan-based firm for an undisclosed amount.  And fans absolutely hate it. The name was nearly universally panned after news of the name change trickled out Monday morning.    1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msw2112 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 This is a terrible name - much worse than Highmark. At least Highmark is easy to read, spell, and pronounce. And the words "high" and "mark" used together imply some level of success.  Acrisure? Not so much. I'm not even (acri)sure what this means. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
