LONG POND, Pa. -- Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro reaffirmed the state wouldn't provide funding for any new sports arenas -- a possibility that looms with the Eagles' lease set to expire in 2032 -- and said there were conversations about bringing NASCAR to Philadelphia.
Shapiro, making an appearance Sunday at Pocono Raceway, said he would continue talking with Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and the Rooney family in Pittsburgh about what -- if anything -- the NFL teams need when it comes to the state of their stadiums.
Pittsburgh's Acrisure Stadium, the home of the Steelers, opened in 2001 while Lincoln Financial Field opened in 2003 in Philadelphia's shared sports complex.
