WVU and PSU reason for Artificial Turf. Naming rights for 50 Yard Line

[mdpitt]

could be a legitimate source of revenue for these feature games. Backyard Brawl presented by Range Resources, Exxon, etc..... Don't laugh at this as every other corner of earth has similar advertising. The NFL has dipped it's toe in the water with corporations on practice Jerseys.

I'm tired of the grass argument. Heinz Field is an entertainment facility so get a quickly customized surface with unique end zones and mid-field. The surface would earn a profit in one year.

2026 is a long way off. Who knows what surface they'll have by that time?

I want it sponsored by Primanti's and Dozen Cupcakes. Is that still around?

Ground up, dehydrated bubble gum?

I want Uber on the 50 yard line. Not sure if they have a logo or maybe just a picture of an 19 year old Asian engineer..

I believe they were shopping around the Backyard Brawl for naming rights before it came to and end. They were definitely shopping naming rights for the River City Rivalry. The City Game already has a sponsor.

Steelers don't want FieldTurf so there won't be any at the stadium. They claim it causes more injuries and will probably point to their two kickers getting injured on it during the preseason as validation.

Although the Steelers do want a Super Bowl to be held at Heinz Field and it is likely Goodell would make them put a Turf Field in place for that to happen
