    HEINZ FIELD name change ?

    What's the rumors about the name change ? I live in Indiana (state) and just read a article about the contract for the name is coming due to resign, but Heinz may not renew since they are partnership now with Kraft. Any new's from you yinzers ?? The UPMC suggestion came up, since Univ. of Pittsbugh Medical Center is such a big thing there. I'd except UPMC Stadium name. Just my opinion. Now, what to do with the ketchup bottle....auction off ?? LOL

    I dont watch TV or listen to much media at all so I have no idea what the rumor mill has going on ....

    however the bold above that you posted makes even more sense when you consider its also The Pitt Panthers home field and Pitt is the Univ. Of Pittsburgh .... so would be a nice tidy little package and give UPMC and consequently Pitt more national notoriety with every televised game ...
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. 4 teams in 5 years and traded twice in one off season

    Thanks for the response Dwinsgames. I'm not much of a TV watcher and media person either....mostly BS and Liberal shit. But I was checking on something on Google on my phone and happened across the article. It was a pretty good reading and offered a few more 'potential' names. I did think UPMC made the most sense too.

    Whatever corporation ponies up the most cash for the naming rights will be the new name, I would imagine.

    It’ll never happen, but I’d love to see it called Dan Rooney Field.

    I liked the Big Ketchup Bottle nickname. But they spelled Hines wrong.

    That's right - that means the ketchup bottles on the scoreboard will be going away too.

    I also read that Dick's Sporting Goods was a big sponsor also.......can you imagine what jokes would come about with THAT name on the stadium ??? Oh crap other teams would have a ball with jokes. LOL

    Iron City would be the only name I'd think was cool. But they're probably not a big enough sponsor to get their name posted on the stadium

    It won’t have a worthy name… and more likely some crypto app name sadly.

    <Insert insulting name> Stadium at Three Rivers

    That would be my guess

    Looks like it’s going to stay “Heinz Field”. Rooneys are negotiating.
