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...

sullim4 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Heinz was perfect for that stadium and the city. I can't help but think that any short term gain from higher rights fees hurts them with this name. It's not pronounceable to anyone who's never heard of it, for goodness sake.

Niagara Bill Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) Highmark? What the heck is that.

The biggest LOL has to be Rooney’s statement claiming this allows the stadium to remain a “valuable asset for the fans…” because yes, that good sir was of course your first thought/worry when ye ol Acrisure came a callin’ 😆. The fans of course will benefit richly from this. Er, what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
