Big changes are coming to the Pittsburgh Steelers‘ home venue. Known as Heinz Field since it opened in 2001, the stadium will be known as Acrisure Stadium beginning this season, the team announced Monday.
Terms of the new 15-year deal were not released. But Acrisure, which operates as a top-10 global insurance broker, has grown its revenue to more than $3.8 billion in just over eight years. It also has the naming rights to an indoor arena being constructed near Palm Springs, California.
“We are excited to partner with Acrisure for the naming rights to our stadium,” Steelers president Art Rooney II said. “Acrisure provided us with an opportunity to ensure our stadium continues to be a valuable asset for our fans as well as keeping up with the market value of NFL stadiums.”
Heinz, headquartered in Pittsburgh, initially signed a 20-year deal for naming rights to Heinz Field for $57 million in 2001 and extended it through the 2021 season.
