The New York Times - The Rooney family is considering selling part of their ownership in the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to a report in The New York Times.

Art Rooney paid $2,500 to the NFL in entrance fees for the franchise in 1933.

The Rooney family has spent the past two years examining a restructuring of the ownership, which could include both consolidation and sale of some stakes in the team.

"I have spent my entire life devoted to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the National Football League," Dan Rooney said in the statement. "I will do everything possible to work out a solution to ensure my father?s legacy of keeping the Steelers in the Rooney family and in Pittsburgh for at least another 75 years." [READ]
