It's become more and more apparent that this man doesn't have near the sense that his father had.
 
So in the article I read it sounds like 150 million over 15 years or 10 million per. It sounded like neither the Steelers nor Pitt benefit from that but rather the corporation that owns the stadium. Anyone know who that is. And if the Steelers don't benefit why are they involved in the partnership? Or is it the stadium benefits which benefits the Steelers and Panthers indirectly?
 
Every time an opponent's Td pass attempt is knocked down or for every blocked field goal attempt . An insurance agent can appear on the big screen with big letters saying CLAIM DENIED!

maybe the little green gecko will make guest appearances
 
Imagining Big Ben right now trying to convince his wife how cool it would be to have the 2 ketchup bottles from the scoreboard installed over their front door and pour out when the doorbell is rung. Then imagining him sleeping on the couch, an unusually long couch.
 
I have ordered a tee, "In Pittsburghese, Acrisure is pronounced Heinz Field."

Also, I've already seen the new stadium name in posts referred to as Acrid Sewer stadium-

Heard a rumor they are trying to work out a sponsorship with hienz for the red zone so the bottles can stay..

Sounds cool until you realize its probably the first step to every ten yards being sold off for ad space painted on the field lol…

I've heard Heinz red zone on Westwood One broadcasts throughout the years. I also listened to an Alabama game a few years ago and they had a sponsor for everything, including the coin toss.
 
Well, the ketchup bottles are gone, along with the Heinz signs. Hopefully with what they paid, the will replace the rotunda tops with something more solid and get rid of those tents by the front gate.

Kraft Heinz bid if accepted would have been the lowest naming rights contract of all 32 franchises. Their original “$57 mil for 20 years was a huge bargain for them. The bid they submitted wasn‘t even a third more than their original. Significantly less than the winning bid. From a business standpoint, it was a no-brainer. In actuality Kraft Heinz didn’t need the advertisement, they were pretty successful with their products before 2001 and still will be even without the contract.

Thomas Tull, a minority owner, has really done a fantastic job of helping Art2 place the franchise footprint in other investments. And yes I know Acrisure bought one of Tull’s companies (Tulco), but anything to help the franchise compete with the Jerry Jones owners is IMO a plus.

They dont even need paint. They're displaying holograms on the boards at Pens games, they could totally put logos on the field for people in attendance as well as logos on the tv screens much like they do with the yellow first down marker and red line to indicate field goal range. Why not add a graphic of a player who just scored in flames and announce "this scoring drive brought to you by Cheetos flaming hot". I'm sure the NFL will figure out how to eek out every damn dollar they can.

I am certain Heinz relished the opportunity the last 20 years...

Why The 3rd Generation Always Destroy A Family Business

Are you familiar with the Chinese proverb, 富不过三代? Roughly translated, it means "You can only keep wealth in the family for three generations." I experienced the key reason why this proverb is true across cultures while attempting to buy from a local farmer's market: Apathy.
