Heinz Field Has A New Name — And No One Likes It
from City Cast Pittsburgh · host City Cast
The long-time home of the Pittsburgh Steelers has a new name: Acrisure Stadium. The team made it official late yesterday, and fans went wild making fun of the choice. Minority owner Thomas Tull allegedly brokered the deal with Michigan-based insurance firm Acrisure, which Reuters reports is a growing member of the fintech industry — and one that’s profited recently from the war in Ukraine. While the terms of the deal aren’t public, Pittsburgh-based Kraft Heinz says the company hopes to remain involved with the Steelers. The Post-Gazette’s Brian Batko explains what comes next.
