The Pittsburgh Steelers announced Monday that the stadium, known as Heinz Field since it opened all the way back in 2001, has been renamed to Acrisure Stadium. Roethlisberger, affectionately known as Big Ben,  played his entire 18-year career as the Steelers’ starting quarterback before retiring this past January, took to Twitter to sound off on the name change, saying, “it doesn’t seem right or real!”
