While we would have preferred our bid to have been accepted, we will continue our efforts to maintain the ownership of the Steelers in our family. We have been told on many occasions the other family members prefer to keep the franchise in the family. We look forward to ongoing dialogue within the family toward that goal.
We are grateful for the support we have received from many family members as well as those who have offered to become our partners. We hope that further discussions can remain cordial and private, and not become a distraction during the football season.
