I'm not surprised considering the Steelers are valued at over a billion dollars and the worth of this franchise will continue to rise.

I still think they should just do the right thing and sell to Dan. Poor Art must be spinning in his grave.

Some things should not change .....................Steelers and Rooneys must stay togehter .sell it to Dan ,or give it to me .I'll move to Pittsburgh

The Steelers belong in the Rooney family.

Please just sell to Dan and get this done with. We need to keep it in Dan's name and control -- while I don't live in PA but CT, I'd hate to see some owner buy the team and move it -- I wouldn't even want them to move to my home state because it just wouldn't be right.

Take it from someone hoping that the evil Ralph Wilson lives to be 362 years old... Keep it in the family, with the traditions and the ties to make the Steelers stay in Pittsburgh forever. Because even a well-meaning billionaire will some day be tempted to sell the team to a well-meaning multi-billionaire from LA or Toronto. ahem...

Eloquently put my friend.

Hopefully, tradition means something in Steeler country, and the Rooney clan takes a decent amount of $ with the difference between Stanley's offer and Dan's paying to keep that tradition. Go Steelers!........

Tradition does mean something in Steeler country and this will be resolved eventually with Dan as "the man". What is really telling about the organization is that all of us want to see this proud lineage continue even though we're from all over the country..............and yes.......GO STEELERS!

CU--We'll be bitter rivals when the hockey season is here, but that was very well stated and I hold a bit more respect to those originally from Philly. Thanks for that.

Best news I heard all week. Now if Westbrook would just take Sunday off.

Maybe Stanley is interested in this old Viking?

I'm glad the Steelers will remain the Steelers.

Grew up in Pittsburgh. College in Atlanta. Working in DC.

Forever a Steeler fan.

Sell to Dan and keep it in the family. I never want to see a cheerleader on the sideline. It's just not Steelers football.

Sad day for the NFL when the Rooneys are embroiled in a story like this. I'm with you, pantherfan.; it's JUST NOT Steelers football, and besides that, it's NOT JUST Steelers football.

My late good friend, former Steeler Steve Furness, spoke to me in a dream last night and said the Rooney's were backing out of the deal !!!

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day"
Looks like the Rooneys want more TIME. Just go with Dan and make everyone happy.

More $$$ please, who cares about the team!

I believe the Steelers are bound by a 30 year contract with the city that has no escape clause.

rooneys made a smart choice.
if a new owner came in, it would ruin the steelers franshise
