NFL Stadiums Quiz

Last I checked, the Lions play at Ford Field. Which is named for the Ford Motor Company.

Heinz is a local Pittsburgh company. They didn't sell out, they are representing the city.

William Clay Ford purchased controlling interest in the Lions in 1963. The Ford family has held that controlling interest ever since. The field does bear the name of a long-time owner of the club, so I cut the Lions slack on that.

The Steelers used to play in Three Rivers Stadium. No rivers paid the Steelers any money for the use of that name. Unless the Steelers decided to name their stadium "Heinz Field" out of the goodness of their hearts and a sense of community promotion, they sold out to a company that happens to be in close proximity to the stadium. An example of the Steelers not selling out would be "Rooney Stadium" or "Knoll Field", for example.

Hearted for fancy colours.

Ford Field is named for the company, not the family. "The naming rights were purchased by the Ford Motor Company at $40 million over 20 years" - Wikipedia. And if you look at it from above, it has a giant Ford logo painted on it.

Not sure how long those teams will hold out. Ford Field is named for the company, although the Ford family does own the team. The Packers, Bears, and Chiefs play in stadiums built over 40 years ago. When they need money for a new stadium, corporate sponsorship will look pretty appealing. It is promising though that they are all family enterprises. The Bengals, Chiefs, and Bears have all been in the same respective families since their inceptions, so there's a stronger sense of tradition, and the teams are not owned by corporate raiders. The Packers have no private ownership. They are the only publicly-owned team in the four major sports. The Bengals play in the only stadium built in the new millennium that does not have corporate sponsorship. Their owner, Mike Brown, named the stadium after his father, the founder and first coach of the team. That's awesome, but I wouldn't expect other owners to follow suit.

Correction, for Pittsburgh, that would be "Noll Field". As in Chuck Noll. The Knoll I knew was George Knoll, my elderly, WWI vet/neighbor across the street who I would visit & play rummy with & drink black coffee with to keep him company when I was a kid.

Chiefs have sold out.

There's absolutely no reason to spend a single taxpayer dollar for a multi-billion dollar franchise to enrich themselves further. If it's not profitable, don't build it. That's such a basic fundamental of business.

I mean it already accepts a few old names, so if the point is only for current names then it's doing a bad job.

After spending the previous 50 years or so playing at Wrigley Field!

Then apparently I can't spell

ok fair enough
