Ben Roethlisberger played his last game at Heinz Field. There is a time and a place. Ben Roethlisberger might not be a fan of the new name of the stadium. The name of the stadium has been changed to Acrisure Stadium. It doesn't seem right or real, that's what Big Ben said about the name change. I can't believe it, it doesn't seem right or real! Home will always be Heinz Field! I will never forget the last game, and all the amazing fans at FOREVER HEINZ! -- Ben.#ForeverHeinz (Thanks to @ThompsonFoto12 & @YinzerSzn for the great photos!) pic.twitter.com/BnYTDp9zEp
Roethlisberger finished his career with two Super Bowl wins, two rookies of the year awards, and the fifth-most passing yards in league history. The six-time Pro Bowler played at least one regular-season game in each of the past 123 years.
Several members of Steeler Nation commented on the name change on social media.

Art Rooney II said earlier this year that he was optimistic that the stadium would retain its name. The 20-year deal for naming rights to the field was signed in 2001 by the company.
The terms of Acrisure's naming-rights deal were not made public Monday. Acrisure's revenue has grown to more than $3.8 billion in eight years.
