From a brief search, Heinz Field is a popular
name due to Heinz food company being head-
quartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even
after being acquired by Kraft foods, Heinz is
a separate division.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz

The initial reaction to the following name change
from "angry Steelers fans":
https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/angry-steelers-fans-have-started-a-petition-to-get-the-team-to-dump-the-new-stadium-name/

The following entity, Acrisure, signed an agree-
ment to have its name be the new stadium name
for the Steelers for 15 years.

Myself, when I hear the word Heinz I immediately
think of Heinz ketchup.

When I hear the word Acrisure, I've never heard of
it. When I look up what that is, my immediate re-
sponse is I'm unsure what that is or why that is, but
hey, to each his or her own, & it must be doing some-
thing right (unsure what). I suspect most Steelers
fans are similarly unsure what that is & why their
stadium now has that name.

Per the following web article, "Acrisure specializes
in intelligence-driven financial services, providing
a broad array of products including Insurance, Real
Estate Services, Cyber Services, and Asset Manage-
ment."
