In the late 1940s, Rooney moved the Steelers home base to the fourth floor of a respectable office building. But that location didn’t last. One of his top players was afraid he’d forget he was so high up and, after a too-late night spent chatting with Rooney, accidentally walk out the window. So Rooney moved to the Roosevelt, at the corner of Sixth Street and Penn Avenue. The office was on the ground floor, but it didn’t have any windows. Everyone would have to leave through the ornately designed English Tudor lobby.
