"This is Pittsburgh. We don't like our rapids grand; we like them ragin' "
"You can call Heinz Field whatever you want, cause I AcriSURE as hell ain't calling it that!"
I was hoping for and expecting this pun. The whole video was great.
That awkward moment when you realize Heinz Field has been around almost as long as Three Rivers was..... wonder if they'll just knock this one dahn and build a new one
Three Rivers was around for 30 years but it was a dual use stadium. Stadiums today are more single purposed and can last longer.
Funny that you brought up the relative ages of Pittsburgh's current stadiums (Heinz Field/Aci-whatever Stadium) and old Three Rivers Stadium as the old stadium was 30 years old when it was closed and demolished, whereas Lincoln Financial Field is nearing 19 years and Citizens Bank Park is will be at 18 years, even though Philly stubbornly clung onto the Vet longer than Pittsburgh with Three Rivers despite both stadiums only opening 9 months apart from each other. (And you can blame the Phillies for the hold up, as they vehemently wanted the new ballpark at N. Broad & Spring Garden Street North of the Vine Street Expressway despite numerous opposition by business owners and residents of Chinatown; the Eagles already setting their sights at an old Acme Market distribution center near the old Vet location.)
However, unlike the Phillies and Eagles, which own both of their stadiums, Heinz Field and PNC Park is owned by the City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, so any improvements to those two facilities would need taxpayer approval.
If that time were to come I have no clue where the hell they would build a new NFL stadium at. Unless they go the way of Dallas and San Francisco and build a stadium that's like 30 miles from the city that they are represented from
@@robertlunderwood I almost ran with this fun ‘fact’, but I checked Wikipedia before texting my loved ones. it’s 21 years for Heinz and 30 for TRS. Two thirds isn’t almost. Good point about dual use. And an NFL stadium gets way less use than MLB fields. Even with the Panthers playing there it’s still a fraction of the use. Usage isn’t the whole story behind the aging of a stadium, but I imagine it’s a big factor.
@@madringking1119 Businesses aren’t investing in big cities anymore. Too many politics and palms to grease. It’s easier just to plant your stakes in a small town suburb.
Oh I’ve been waiting on Pittsburgh Dad’s statement on this...
Same.
Same
As a former Yinzer who’s been in Michigan for 30+ years I heartily agree with P Dads comments relative to my (now) home state
How has Troy not had a Polamalu Park? This needs to happen! Yinzers unite! Thx Dad!
US Steel building 🤷♀️
Troy should have a clothing store at the mall: The C Gap. 😂
That has a ring to it kudos to you...
People were still calling it Three Rivers . We'll call it everything but Acrisure. I mean look at Starlake. How many times was it renamed before they gave up and finally went back to Starlake.
Starlake, post, it’s been all of them until it came back 😂
It will always be starlake
That was exactly what I thought of when I heard this. It started out as Starlake and will always be Starlake. Kind of like Route 60 past the airport. I can't even tell you what it is now!
I was thinking this as well! 😂
Star lake actually has a tiny lake thus three rivers what the hell was wrong with that name
When I heard "Acrisure" the first thing I thought was, "Great. They named the stadium after a pregnancy test."
I thought it was gonna end up being what the ladies from up in Michigan use to brush their grimy teeth
😂😂😂😂
THATS WHAT I SAID TOO
Ha ha ha!! That' hysterical!
@@jamescampbell4691 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆😆
I knew Pittsburgh Dad would be all over this. Lol. I know he's just playing a character but we're scarily alike sometime. My wife always makes fun of me for hating change. I love his idea for just following the blueprint for 1987 and allowing 1989 in for Michael Keaton's Batman. I'd probably go back to about 1984 though. I'd just be ok with living 1984-1989 on continuous loop.
Bro same I wasn't born in the timeline I'm actually a early 2000's kid but everyone's always talking about the good old days and I'd love to know what those good old days were like.
@@matthewcrispinwordofGod picture this....you left the house nobody knew where you were because there was no cell phones! No social media you actually had to go meet up with people! The music that was popular was heavy metal and hard rock! No mumbling rappers no cancel culture! A pack of smokes was a buck and so was a gallon of gas!! Oh and no skinny jeans and pink shirts on guys and that's just a little bit of the 80s.
@@jedsteelwell2354 Wow well some sound a bit nerve-wracking since no one knows where you are but if it's a timeline with no cancel culture then sign me up.
The best part is him saying all this in his wood paneled basement, which itself makes it 1987 forever.
@@palaceofwisdom9448 With the IC Light mirror in the background. Smooth ...
Name change sucks but at least it brought Pittsburgh Dad out of hibernation!
I knew he'd reappear over this news...
Out of Hibernation and back for Steeler Nation!
@@emilgilels Exactly!
Well yea the name change was like a Bat Signal but for Pittsburgh Dad
can’t be ignored 😂
Sucks? Get REAL. It's a stadium. NOBODY CARES
The irony at the end 🤣 " gotta feed my family too " classic 👌 😊
In Denver, it doesn't matter what name they slather on our NFL football stadium (and there has been a few). Every Bronco fan and/or Colorado native/longtime resident I know continues to call it "Mile High Stadium". The only people who call it by the corporate name are people on TV or team executives.
I know that’s right! F that name change. I’ve called Denver’s stadium Mile High a few times (Ryan Clark couldn’t go)😄😄
Hardcore lifelong Denver fan and I live in California but went to a game back in 2007 when it was Invesco field a monday night in october Green bay vs. broncos, GB won in OT, down the way the Rockies were losing game 4 to the Red sox in the W.S. I still call it Mile High gosh I miss when Elway was the QB and "the drive", just epic history of the NFL
True, but I assume we will lose the ketchup bottles on the scoreboard and pouring when in the red zone.
@@gzo313 Yes💔💔
Mile High Stadium was demolished 20 years ago. That's too funny that Bronco fans call an entirely separate stadium Mile High.
If they were gonna change it they could’ve kept it something Pittsburgh related at least. Iron City Stadium had a nice ring to it
@sobonas21 yea i could’ve seen that too. Especially since the training facility is already called that
I would rather have the stadium be either named New Three Rivers Stadium or even Art Rooney Memorial Stadium. And I am both lifelong resident of the Philly area (Delco to be specific) and a lifelong "Iggles" fan.
@@rwboa22 i would’ve been perfectly fine with either of those names. Just something Pittsburgh related. I would’ve accepted pretty much anything
Maytag Stadium, with giant washing machines laundering the entire Terrible Towel supply.
@@indianaducky well yea, doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a shitty name but gotta make money
Star Lake Pavilion was renamed a handful of times and everyone still called it Star Lake. Now the name Star Lake is back! Just give it time, Heinz Field will come back around!
So in 15 years when Acursures contract is up lol
I came here to say exactly this
Oh wow I laughed way harder than I should have at the Bordas and Bordas joke at the end. Well played sir!
The second that I heard about the name change, I began very eagerly anticipating this video! And it does not disappoint! Westinghouse lung food might be the funniest three words in a row I've ever heard!
I grew up in Johnstown PA (AKA flood city) This video reminds me of the locals I grew up with. Western PA really does have a distinct sub-culture. I live in Tennessee now and helped my parents relocate here in 2014. They still call plastic grocery store bags "Giant Eagle bags" They haven't shopped at a Giant Eagle in nearly a decade! This video brings back so many memories.
Not quite East Coast but not entirely Midwestern either.
AKA: Home of the Johnnies. 😁
@@AJHart-eg1ys LOL. My name is also Jonathan and people called me Johnny boy. Probably not an accident.
I'm sure you meant to say "Gian' Iggle". It's ok. Not your fault auto-correct won't recognize pittsburghese
Are you sure it wasn’t Giant Iggle? (Western PA boy myself)
Screw it. It’s Mister Rogers Neighborhood Park now.
Too bad St. Vincent's Archabbey in nearby Latrobe stopped crafting their beer in 1918 (due in part to the Temperance Movement that lead to Prohibition). Had the rights to the recipe of the Bavarian-style beer (as well as the name of the beer, being "Saint Vincent Beer") been sold off to a layman (under the conditions that the purchaser had to be Catholic and either a Bavarian immigrant or Bavarian-American), just imagine a hypothetical well-known Bavarian beer brewery buying the naming rights for the Steelers' stadium and calling it St. Vincent's Brewery Stadium.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣ROFL
Yer onta somthin. Fred Rodgers Stadium. All proceeds go to PBS and Childrens Hospital. Instead of the Heinz Red Zone, two cans of fish food.
@@brentworls8509 And upon entry, all fans are handed a Lady Fairchilde puppet..
@@lobstertexas We can watch them feed the fish at halftime, and I hope they sell cardigan sweaters.
Brilliant! Loved the Steel Phantom / Kennywood take in there as well.
Should've mentioned Starlake in there somehow. That's worth a mention, IMHO.
Yes! It’s always going to be Starlake to me.
I still miss Three Rivers Stadium, now that was a perfect name.
I miss what WPGH, and WPTT aired cartoons in the afternoon.
Me too.
Me too
@@veronikalake6934 Yeah, Fuck 'Jerry Springer', 'Maury Povich', and 'TMZ'.
I wish this trend of corporate naming for advertising dollars would just stop. Ruining everything.
My favorite Steeler stat is that since 1969 they have played in three stadiums; Pitt Stadium, Three Rivers and Heinz Field. In the same time frame, they have had three head coaches; Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin. How do you define franchise stability?
With a heart emoji @ the end, that’s how🤎🤎😄😄😄I can’t get with that name change💔💔
The same way most franchises do: Moderate expectations and a traditionally weak division. 🤣
@@AJHart-eg1ys And how many Super Bowl wins. Go back to Cleveland
@@mikelouis9389 I understand that you believe you actually made a point, but pointing out a specific divisional team that has traditionally been weak doesn't actually counter the assertion that the division is regularly full of weak teams.
And since I doubt you're able to understand completely what I was saying and would prefer to just assume for yourself so that you van come back with indignance, that's not saying that every team, all the time, is weak. There are just consistently a good number of teams that a half decent team can pencil in for two wins every season.
We have been able to say that about the NFC East for years, but you and I both know that it has traditionally been much more competitive within the division.
@@AJHart-eg1ys Then, by following your obviously butt hurt pseudo logic the entire NFL is weak. Great logic. Time for you to break out the Overly Verbose Responses for Dummies again.
Acrisure should just rebrand themselves to a new name that is more Yinzer friendly.
“Aci sure as hell ain’t callin it that!” LMAO!! Pittsburgh Dad never fails!!
The Rooneys did this, and I’m now wondering why a few spots in a local cemetery look disturbed…. I think Art and Dan just rolled over in their graves.
150 Million Dollars is a lot of money
Everyone gonna call it Heinz Field anyway, plus they said the ketchup bottles may not be leaving
Great comment 👍
Dan Rooney didn't seem to have a problem letting it be named Heinz Field. I dint know why he'd have a problem with this.
@@toddwynn3397
Heinz was and still is a better name and sponsorship than an insurance broker who even the companies own locals never heard of and can’t pronounce 😂
@@GILLIGFAN I agree. It's just funny to see so many Steelers fan apoplectic over the name change because so many had the same reaction when it was named Heinz Field.
“I acri-sure as hell ain’t calling it that” 😂😂💀
The Baker Mayfield burial ground. 😂😂. I'd take that over the hemorrhoid cream-sounding name it has become.
Oh no now it totally does sound like hemorrhoid cream to me. 😨
Get HELP
The Jackson Junkyard....
😅@@brucestack1658
You can be guaranteed no sane member of Steeler nation will call it anything but Heinz Field.
Its HENIZ FIELD, always will be
Speaking of things not changing, it's been a quarter of a century since I lived in Pittsburgh, yet I feel like I understood nearly every reference in this video. "We like [our rapids] Ragin'!" 😂
I find it in very poor taste to name a stadium after an insurance company. I mean, corporate names aren't a good look either, but everyone who likes ketchup, chooses Heinz. Personally, I think it should go back to being Three Rivers.
The first red flag ...its an INSURANCE agency
Ya
Seattle Mariners had SafeCo Field for 20 years. Naming rights expired. Now T Mobile Park. Still the SAFE to me. At least they didn't capitalize on the Burger KINGDOME before it was demolished.
Problem with that is that it was never 3 rivers to begin with. Just change it to Rooney field at Acrisure Stadium. That way the name will mean something and they still can keep the naming rights money…..let’s be honest, we all are gonna continue to call it Heinz field anyway.
Just a damm name of a football field....I'd rather have hunts ketchup anyways
Heinz Field being renamed is basically causing serious rage and questions on the teams future for supporting the people of Pittsburgh.
Word has it that Heinz hasn't updated their website for over 2 years. I guess Heinz' site is 2020! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hate how much I laughed at that.
I'm not even from Pittsburgh and I know that it's a stupid idea. Heinz Field should stay Heinz Field.
What's next? Is Anthrocon gonna change it's name to the Duquene Light Furry Convention?
Nah, it's the Eat'n Park Fursuit Extravaganza
@@Skull35 haha they would serve the smiley cookies but with furry themed icing, with ears or paws or “OwO” cookies…might actually be a hit with attendees since smiley cookies are great
Hell even Furry Field is a more appropriate name than Acrisure... Geez
"Dude the Baker Mayfield burial ground" part got me 😆 🤣 😂
If a insurance company can spend $150m for a stadium name... you know there costumers are getting screwed hard.
Ac-ri-sure
I thought of you as soon as I saw the name change. 10/10, did not disappoint. 😂
“THREE RIVERS” for me Pop, or “TOTAH” in my Native American language, which is NAVAJO. The language that helped win a War, SALUTE and Never Forget the NAVAJO CODE TALKERS!! And STEELER NATION!!!
Love it. Let's go back to Three Rivers. Hell with the corporate world.
Just brilliant! I miss you in the summer months, this is just what I needed!
Steelers fan for 40 years here in SW Michigan (1 hour south of Grand Rapids) and until yesterday I had NEVER HEARD of this company. (yes I know they haven’t been around for 40 years).🤦♂️
Its just another pop up bogus insurance agency. .i mean WTF
Whats the deal with all this insurance garbage lately ?
All you see is GRIFT ads from insurance agencies ..
Doesn't America make anything of any real value anymore ??
@@salvatorepitea5862 I guess we should be happy it wasn't some scammy cryptocurrency company at least.
@@Mrtraveler01 😂
His best EVER! The rage was REAL....until the end...🤣
Three Rivers! Starting a fundraiser for old NFL. NO more Brady infiltration. (Michigan tuck rule) what’s next Byedone Box?
Can't believe he didn't mention how everyone still calls the concert venue.... Starlake!
I do that. Mainly because it’s the only name of that venue I can remember.
Find me one person from Pittsburgh that didn’t say “Star Lake” through its 17 name changes and I’ll stop saying Heinz Field.
Worst thing to happen to the field even after Bane blew it up.
Classic! My week during the season is never complete until Pittsburgh Dad does his recap. 3, 2, 1...Win.
I think we can all agree that "Acrisure" is an awful, TERRIBLE name for a stadium. "Come to the 'Burgh, the stadium name is terrible and so are the Towels!"
They can say what they want I'll always just say 3 rivers
I will NEVER call that stadium any other name than Heinz FIeld or the Ketchup Bottle.
@Who Cares? ewwwwwwwwwwwwww
Yuck to Hunts it sucks.
@Who Cares? About you? Nobody. Certainly not here. You gonna move to Vegas with your irrelevant Raiders? Maybe see if you can beat the Athletics outta Cokeland...? Sucks to be you, troll. 😢
They should name the stadium Pittsburgh Dad!!! Hands 🙌🏾
It should be "Yinzer Stadium" or "Cope Field". If we HAVE to go with a corporate name how about "Wickerpedia Park"? 🤣🤣
That was my reaction too. My husband told me the news of the name change and I was like, “They named it what?” I was outraged too but thank you Pittsburgh Dad for all the laughs! I definitely knew you were going to have a reaction video on this subject. #ForeverHeinz
The other day I was there talking to my dad about it the day they announced it and he said "Did you hear they're changing the name of Heinz?" and I got all pissed off and told him "Yeah they're going to call it Acrisure Stadium now" and the disgusted look on his face pretty much summed up exactly how I felt about it when I read it hahahaha....
Instant classic but 1987? I’m 53 and agree that was a great year in Pittsburgh, but the Steelers were only like 8-7 with Mark Malone under center.
That was the strike year and Malone was terrible.
"I'm Acrisure as hell ain't gonna call it that..." - Pittsburgh Dad inna nutshell, in midszn form and the response vid was quick 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was waiting... I knew he would come for this... and here he is. The world is good. Except for the name of that stadium, of course.
So true… Pittsburgh’s uniqueness is slowly being erased…. Just like the rest of our country.
We still have uniqueness in Cleveland, only city with a monopoly on Murphy's law
I agree with just going with whatever everything was called in 1987. Oh and I'll always call it 3 rivers because that's what it is and where it is.
Yeah for me the Pens play at the Civic Arena 😂
It’ll always be Heinz Field
ABSOLUTELY🙏✨🏈👻❣️
I know that I shouldn't be on here being a Ravens fan.......but I like the name of Heinz field! I know what we're about to see when we play against your Steelers.......a bunch of blood red!!
There are a few things that doesnt change much about the Steelers......the coaches, the stadium name, and the Steel Curtain!! Even I won't call it whatever name they're changing it to 💯💯💯
Nope everyone is welcome pittsburgh dad should be a tv show and by the way ravens suck
@@johnrencheck2283........for the moment
Pittsburgh Dad, would you please do a collaboration with Bob Labriola in his Asked and Answered column? I can only imagine how funny that would be!
Imagine the STEELERS playing at US STEEL FIELD, that would be very acceptable.
How about they just stop playing football altogether? No more CTE, no more spoiled, rich athletes crashing their million dollar sports cars into people and killing them.

I was SO looking forward to this... Nailed it!
Gotta feed my family too😂
“The Baker Mayfield Burial ground” is the funniest thing I’ve heard all year!
I was waiting for this! As soon as I heard that absolutely awful rename I knew it was coming. What a shame to lose such an iconic Pittsburgh name.
The MAC machine was my favorite part. Serious 1987 vibes there.
Yeah, I use a Mac machine too. I have no idea what that atom thing is .
Rooney Field at Three Rivers.
"Now when the Steelers are in the Red zone instead of seeing the ketchup bottles drop see my 401K drop" 😆😆
I want to buy the Heinz Field stadium sign and put it in my backyard forever!
I will forever use Westinghouse Lung Food instead of "air" now. Thank you lolll
That ending was gold! 🤣🤣🤣
That last line had me 💀😂🤣😂
How about we call the field Rooney Field? Then whatever they call the stadium around the field will be irrelevant.
one of the best Pittsburgh dad episodes iver ever seen
In the ten years since it opened, the soccer stadium for MLS' Philadelphia Union has undergone three name changes (PPL Park, Talen Energy Stadium, and now Subaru Park). Luckily the US headquarters for the current name of the stadium is located in Cherry Hill, NJ, less than 30 miles away.
Worse is the arena where the Flyers and Sixers play, undergoing FOUR name changes (due to acquisitions, the most-recent due to near bankruptcy) since it opened (CoreStates Center, First Union Center, Wachovia Center, and now Wells Fargo Center).
I still call it FU Center! 🤣
Three things wrong here:
1) It’s soccer.
2) It’s Philadelphia.
3) You mentioned NJ.
It should be called the Spectrum, just to maintain continuity with the old arena. In Boston, the new arena was originally the Fleet Center, but soon it became the TD Banknorth Garden, later the TD Garden. At least they maintained the "Garden" part of the "Boston Garden". Fenway Park hasn't changed its name, either.
Don't forget about the God awful music venue in Camden. Gotta be on its 8th name now right?
@@stoltergeist437 yet when you look at the Phillies and Iggles stadiums, which have been around almost as long as Pittsburgh's, they have not undergone a name change from the day their gates opened for the very first time.
Acrisure should just rename their company Hines, and hire Hines Ward as their spokesperson as they unveil HINES FIELD!
Imagine how much money the Steelers will get back for the deposit on those giant ketchup bottles.
The response we all needed!!
I knew this was going to be great. Next you have to talk about how that black and gold eyesore at Kennywood is never operating and how they killed the Log Jammer for practically nothing.
This is actually how I felt when the Brewers changed miller park to American family insurance field
Exactly! Me too!
At least you can call yours AFI Field! We don't even have that option lol
The people here still call Naval Station Norfolk "NOB" which stands for Naval Operating Base, but the name was changed in 1953, ironically, most people don't even know what NOB stands for.
Lambeau field name hasn’t changed in 57 years, and isn’t going to anytime soon.
Yup. The only thing worse than a pissed off Steelers fan is a pissed off Packers fan. Probably the 2 most passionate fan bases in all of the stick and ball sports. Not just football.
Fools, you think the Steelers are Pittsburgh's team.
Steelers is just about making money.
Baltimore, Oakland, St. Louis, and Cleveland found out when they lost their teams.
So, when you sit down to watch 45 min of commercials with a game squeezed in, that you could be doing something else.
Years ago, Malls used to have vendors in the hallway. They would be selling VCR tapes of the '76 Super Bowl.
Some of these tapes did not delete the commercials. I was watching one of these tapes, and a commercial came on for a '76 Ford truck, and a Budwiser Commercials. Only 2 one minute commercials, and back to the game.
Word! You got it right James! I lived in LP as a kid, have lived in Los Angeles for two decades, the "Rams" ain't ours, and literally no one gave af when they won....all business....but I am a Steeler fan forever and always
@@amandadelrio7113 It is a shame. I remember as a 11 year old boy. I was approached by a neighbor hood boy about 9 years old, Johnny. His father, and uncle had season tickets to the 1960 Steelers on the 50 yard line. His father wanted to take his son to the game, but couldn't get tickets next to his 50 yard seats.
So Johnny ask everyone who would go to the game.
I was the only one, who wanted to go to the game.
In 1960, the Pirates were more popular.
As a matter of fact, during the Steelers game people were listening to the Pirate game in the stands.
The 1960 Pirates were a great team. The '60 PIRATES beat the Yankees in the 10th inning of the 7th game. Maz hit a home run, and won the game.
That home run is as famous as Franko Harris immaculate reception.
Back to the Steelers game.
Actually, his Steelers team was a good team, but not great.
It was a different world.
Ever one in the stadium was polite, normally dressed, men wear hats, dress shirts, leather shoes, and no tee shirts.
There was no alcohol being sold, and no drunks.
Today, no one would let an 11 year old watch and an 9 year old alone at a NFL game, but '60 was a better time.
This also reminds me of the "knot hole club ". It was a program where the Pirates sold cheap tickets to boys.
A gang of 9 year old boys would get on a street car, and go to Forbes Field.
Our seats were in the left field upper deck, but we love our seat.
Because Roberto Clemente, he was great.
He could throw a ball from deep left field to home plate without a bounce.
We had the best seats because we got a good view.
After the game was over, we went home on the street car.
We did this all without a parent in site.
These knots hole games were a great adventure without a parent insight
@@jamesmooney8933 Sir I remember going to a bar named Dee's with my parents in the 80's, in Pittsburgh, my dad would get a shot of Jim Beam and I would get a shot of pepsi.... we would toast and he taught me how to play pool...imagine a parent taking a kid to the bar now 🤣 even where I live now for over 20 years, people would freak out
@@amandadelrio7113 Dee's is a bar on the Southside of Pittsburgh. In the 70's & 80's used to watch Monday Night Football, there.
In the early 50's I remember my dad taking me and my brother down to J&L Steel for his pay. In those day, men were paid in cash. After p/u the pay, we stopped off a Bill's Bar on E. Carson St.
My dad would have my brother and I at seat at booth, and drink pop. I was about 4 years old.
My dad would have a few beers.
In those days, there were so many mill bars that if you had one beer at ever bar on E. Carson St. you'd never make to the end.
They were all mill bars.
Today South Side has been gentrified. South Side is now has a College Bar area, even though South Side had no college.
@@jamesmooney8933Sir imagine taking your kid to a bar now 🤨🤣, I got transferred to Los Angeles in the 90s, but even here it is so ridiculous how coddled kids are now....
This is all Jerry Buss's fault for taking that ridiculous amount of money from Great Western Bank (who is also to blame too) in the late 1980's as that opened the Pandora's Box. Sure, there were corporate names before that Iike Arco, Rich and Wrigley, but none of them shelled out lots of money to get their names on there.
These companies who shell out money to have their names on these stadiums are stupid! I mean, has that actually gotten people to invest/spend on their products? The constant name changes would suggest no as apparently, not enough people were buying Heinz condiments (as an example) to the point that Heinz couldn't pay the greedy Rooney's the money they wanted and as a result, we got another stupid name change.
Both the owners (greed, who are never satisfied with the money they have), and the sponsors (waste tons of money thinking it will get more people to invest/buy their products) are at blame here.
I feel sorry for those under contract that are forced to call it by these (mostly) stupid names. But for fans that aren't, but says "who cares" or "get a life", you people are sheep that needs to be sheared to the fullest extent!
PS - Lincoln (Financial) Field (home of the Steelers NFC arch rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles) would have been fine, but after a bleep executive had the audacity to tell Philadelphians that he expects them to call it by that name, deserves to have that name bleeped on, with him deserving the Floyd treatment!
It’s never official till we hear from Pittsburgh Dad ! Can we blame thom ?
I felt the same way when Pittsburgh Dad changed from Iron City to BOGO and BOGO (or whatever it is now). Cheers to PD.
Baker Mayfield burial grounds 😂😂
well his browns career ended there lmfaooo
🤣
The new sponsors are true Steelers fans so they’ll probably be kind as possible to tradition.
"Split in two like a season on Netflix."
Don't worry Dad it will be called either "The A" , "The Arc" or "The stadium formerly known as Heinz ".
Ok why in da hell didn't the name it Iron City, Clark Bar, Kaufman' Kick Ass, or the best 3 rivers Stadium. The name will be ALWAYS Heinz Stadium!
Steelers Stadium … that would be one hell of a name!
Soak up the rays at PNC floatin ball light. Can’t call it “air”….Westinghouse lung food. Gosh, this content is pure gold. Although I sadly live in…Tom’s land….I can come watch Pittsburgh dad and get a taste of home! Proud to be a Yinzer
Best episode yet
Thank you for always keeping me connected with Pittsburgh!! Never stop!
Gotta love Pittsburgh dad, agree 100%. All the corporate suits that thought this was a good idea need a dunking in the Monongahela! (and then they all have to pronounce it correctly afterwards.)
Good idea
Better yet….SPELL IT!

Agreed should just be Three Rivers Stadium and done!
I hate that the big corporations get to name the stadiums. They should let the fans vote
Pirates are changing their stadium's name too, to Dollar General Park, which becomes a Spirit Halloween in September and October, because the field won't be being used.
Hahahaaaa! Brilliant, but sad.
that fits! Considering their player payroll
With a name like Acrisure, it sounds like one of those adult incontinence products - like Depends. Something grandpa can wear so when you take him to Eat 'n Park, he can enjoy his pot roast sandwich and Smiley cookie without having to worry about embarrassing leakage n@.
