Pittsburgh planners may name street for Chuck Noll

[February 11, 2009]  PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Planners may name a street to be built near the Pittsburgh Steelers' stadium after Chuck Noll, the coach who led the team to its first four Super Bowl wins.

Plans for an amphitheater near Heinz Field that were approved by the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission include a one-block street named Chuck Noll Way.

City officials say they've received no formal request to name the proposed street. City Council must approve any such request.

Other streets near Heinz Field and PNC Park, where the Pirates play, are named for Pittsburgh sports heroes. They include Pirates Hall of Famer Bill Mazeroski, Pitt football star Tony Dorsett, and late Steelers owner Art Rooney Sr.
