The Pittsburgh Steelers announced today that the new name of their home stadium will be Acrisure Stadium for a 15-year deal.

A Monday news release from the Steelers said Acrisure, which is based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, will immediately take over the naming rights to the Steelers' North Shore stadium, starting with the 2022 season. The stadium had been named Heinz Field since it opened in 2001.

The partnership between the Steelers and Acrisure will enable the franchise to continue to invest in stadium amenities and aesthetics, including new stadium identification for the 2022 season.

The partnership also includes community initiatives aimed at providing a deep connection for Acrisure in the Pittsburgh community and brand recognition both locally and nationally to support Acrisure's growth, according to the news release.
