Heinz Field is one of the NFLs most unique venues, and the Steelers have championship aspirations every time they take it. The Steelers ranked in the top 40 in seven of nine categories gauging the health of professional sports franchises. Affordability and fan relations need slight improvements, but otherwise the Steelers get gold (and black) stars.Whats goodThat the Steelers rank in the top 10 in both title track and ownership is no coincidence. Stability at the top breeds success, and the Rooney family is considered NFL royalty. Team chairman Dan Rooney and president Art Rooney II cultivate a family atmosphere at the teams football facility south of downtown Pittsburgh. The two are always around to interact with staff or shake hands with players. The confidence from winning six Super Bowls permeates the place. The organization, with back-to-back 11-win seasons, also has a realistic window for winning a seventh. If LeVeon Bell can shoulder more of a load while quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is out, the Steelers could keep playing top-shelf football.Whats badThe drastic drop in fan relations, down 25 spots from last years 31st ranking, is a bit surprising. The Steelers embrace the blue-collar approach of their city and go out of their way not to seem arrogant. They are active on social media, with one of the most-followed Twitter accounts among NFL teams, while several prominent players interact with fans on various social platforms. Fans gave the lowest ranking in this category to player accessibility -- and autographs for stars, particularly at training camp at St. Vincent College, can be a challenge. The team also tends to focus on the football product -- as opposed to inspirational messages or splashy fan outreach -- a plan thats not always considered exciting or relatable.Whats newThe Steelers made significant jumps in stadium experience and bang for the buck (up 34 spots). Ticket prices are fairly high because of the tradition, but they are reasonable -- and at least youre likely to see a win. Heinz Field offers plenty of flavor, from the bright gold seats to the riverfront setting to the scarcity of bad seats. Fans can see the Pittsburgh skyline from most areas of the stadium, and there are plenty of activities and food options outside Heinz. Famous entertainers and musicians visit on game days, including Ariana Grande for the Week 2 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals this season. Overall, a 41-spot jump in stadium experience is a promising sign.Next: Baltimore Ravens?| Full rankings Tim Frazier Jersey . - NASCAR announced a 33-race schedule for the 2014 Nationwide Series with virtually no changes from this years slate.

New Orleans Pelicans Shirts . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well.England can take heart from a brilliant bowling display as they head to fortress Newlands for Sundays series-deciding fifth one-day international against South Africa, says Nasser Hussain. The tourists suffered their second straight defeat as South Africa scraped to 266-9 to overhaul Englands 262-9 by one wicket in the fourth ODI, at Johannesburg.Eoin Morgans men appeared set to wrap up the series when the home side slipped to 210-8 after Joe Roots eighth ODI century had repaired the damage done by a middle-order slump. Watch a pick of the action from the fourth ODI between South Africa and England But Chris Morris, snapped up by Delhi Daredevils in last weeks IPL auction, was dropped by Adil Rashid on 14 and turned the tables with a scintillating 62.The balance of power has shifted towards South Africa definitely but England did play pretty well for large parts of this game, reflected former England skipper Hussain.If you can lose five wickets for 21 and still come so close to winning, it means you are putting in a lot of good performances. They were brilliant with the ball. Eoin Morgans captaincy was very good, Reece Topley was exceptional. They are not just relying on one or two players. Adil Rashid might have dropped Morris on 14, but the game would have been lost if he hadnt scored runs earlier in the day.That said, theyve lost a game they should have won and Root wont be the only distraught player; theyre travelling to Cape Town on Saturday and now have to play at fortress Newlands.Only two sides in the history of the game have come back from being 2-0 down in a one-day series, so England could snatch defeat from the draws of victory and they will be under pressure. We hear from AB de Villiers, Eoin Morgan and Chris Morris after South Africas win over England in the fourth ODI England paid the price for shelling three catches, Jason Roy and Alex Hales also missing chances before Rashid dropped Morris off Topley at mid-off.ddddddddddddIt was a match of small margins, said Hussain. Morris hit the ball up in the air on 14 and Rashid drops a catch he would have taken 99 times out of 100.England would then have been into the tail but as it was Morris went on and played brilliantly. You can see why Delhi have bought him in the IPL.He will have been under a little bit of pressure because quite a few South Africans were questioning if he was worth what he went for in the IPL auction but on his home ground in a losing situation the pressure was off him a little and some of the striking he did was absolutely brilliant. Watch this brilliant one-handed catch from Topley during Englands ODI against South Africa I dont think you can take anything away from how well South Africa played at the end; I dont think England could have done anymore apart from take those catches that they grassed.To defend a score like that you have to be perfect in the field. You drop AB de Villiers and JP Duminy and you think they are going to hurt you but they dont; you drop Morris who you dont think is going to hurt you and he does and thats the game gone there.Watch the fifth and final one-day international between South Africa and England live on Sky Sports 2 this Sunday from 7.30am.
