Heinz Field (which has done nothing for Heinz, by the way), but the same team won four Super Bowls playing in the odious Three Rivers Stadium. The common denominator is the Rooney family, which has owned the Steelers for as long as the Bidwills have ruled the Cardinals. Over the past 40 years, though, the Rooneys have been far better managers than the Bidwills...
