    Too old school, crusty



    NFL players feel the Rooneys are too antiquated and crusty to appeal to young free agents with their facilities. Hey, they must not have heard about ping pong and air hockey (that Cool Shades bans from rookies if they aren't taking things seriously enough).

    lmao.. I think Latrobe is a nice glimpse into out mentality as a franchise.

    I bet every SEC locker room looks better than ours.

    Can’t say those other facilities have helped those teams win though

        who says Tomlin doesn't run a tight ship?

          Haahaahaa. Reminds me of a conversation I had with a school official while visiting colleges with my son. I was in awe at the student facilities compared to what I had when I went to school. Now they have full on food courts with national chains, student unions that rival exclusive country clubs, gymnasiums with fully state of the art equipment, and meandering floating pools! When I asked about all this infrastructure the school official said "we have to build these facilities or the students will go somewhere else". I guess I was in school for the wrong reasons (ya know, like getting a good degree).

          OT: how come no names listed of 'top FA' that decided not to sign with the Steelers because of the locker rooms?

            when it's tight, it's bad.
            when it's loose, it's bad.
            when it's bad, it's bad.
            when it's good, it's bad.

              When your inclusion of workout equipment is determined by who gives you free stuff, you might not have the leading edge equipment.

                    nah, this is a great article according to some.

                    This is great journalism. Look at all the success these other teams have had since they updated their facilities.

                      It comes down to playing time and the chance to maximize their exposure.

                      I seriously doubt FA’s are making decisions based on locker room carpet thread count.

                        Sure, but I think you forgot that it's more likely the FA won't sign here because Tomlin won't allow music during practices.....

                          I want the Steelers to have adequate facilities and equipment

                          however

                          when it comes to reasons why free agents might decide to not sign with the team, it's hard for me to believe this would be anywhere near the top of the list

                          money is undoubtedly the biggest factor, followed by the likelihood of competing for a championship, suitability for family (housing available, schools, etc.), and other things

                            Wait, I thought players LOVED Tomlin because he was the homie and like a second Daddy?

                              Yeah, but he lets them dance on the opponent's logo so it's all good
