Steelers president Art Rooney II blasted the Pittsburgh-Allegheny County Sports & Exhibition Authority on Wednesday, saying the Steelers’ partnership with the SEA is “not a functioning relationship.”
“I don’t know that there’s a real commitment here from our landlord to do what’s necessary and work with us in a way that’s cooperative,” Rooney told the Post-Gazette. “It’s hard for me to explain what the reason is. It’s been something that’s becoming more difficult as the years have gone on in our lease.”
Rooney’s comments come in the wake of a successful Stadium Series game staged at Heinz Field, between the Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers.
