Early life
Arthur Joseph Rooney II was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the eldest of nine children of Patricia (Reagan) and longtime Steelers chairman Dan Rooney,[2] and the grandson of Steelers founder “The Chief”, Art Rooney, Sr. He graduated from the University of Pittsburgh in 1978 with a B.A. in Political Science.[3] He then attended Duquesne University’s School of Law, where he earned his J.D. degree in 1982.[4][3]
Career
Rooney was named team president in May 2003.[5] Prior to that, he served as vice president and general counsel of the Steelers, and has served on the board of directors of the Steelers since 1989. He is chairman of the NFL’s Stadium Committee, and is on numerous NFL boards, including the Legislative Committee, the Management Council Executive Committee, the International Committee and the Digital Media Committee.[6] Prior to his father's 2017 death, Rooney II held at least a 20% stake in the Steelers franchise, with a combination of him and his father owning at least 30%[2] and was in line to inherit most of the share Dan Rooney held, which would make Rooney II the majority owner of the team.Шаблон:Citation needed He is one of only two third-generation owners in the league, the other being John Mara, to whom he is related by marriage.
