Asked and Answered 2/29: Dome at Heinz?

Frank Lucas: Bob, will the Steelers be doing any renovations to the stadium? I’ve been hearing rumors about a dome-like structure?
There are plans to increase the seating capacity at Heinz Field, possibly add another scoreboard and upgrade some of the other amenities, but those plans won’t be executed in time for the 2012 season. But the Steelers playing in a dome? Probably the same season they debut their cheerleaders.
Jackie A. Lee: My question goes back to Steelers of 1939. My dad played for the Steelers at the time, and I am trying to find out how I can get his number, and a picture of the team from then? His name was Jack (Whitey) Lee.
John Lee, as he is called in the Steelers Media Guide, was a 10th-round draft pick out of Carnegie Tech in 1939, and he played one season with the Steelers. At that time, an NFL Draft lasted 20 rounds. The 1939 Steelers had co-coaches – Johnny Blood and Walt Kiesling – and it’s not surprising that such an arrangement was not conducive to winning. That team finished 1-9-1, with the only victory coming in the season finale, by 24-14 over the Philadelphia Eagles. In the team photo that hangs on a wall in the team’s practice facility, John Lee is identified as wearing jersey No. 25.
