Dee Haslam, Co-Owner, Cleveland Browns and Columbus Crew, and Jim Rooney, Author, “A Different Way to Win: Dan Rooney’s Story from the Super Bowl to the Rooney Rule,” speak with Rick Jackson, Senior Host/Producer, ideastream®.
Jim Rooney interviewed more than 50 people when trying to write the story of his father Dan Rooney, the famous owner and president of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The result is the new book A Different Way to Win: Dan Rooney’s Story from the Super Bowl to the Rooney Rule. More than simply a biography, the book traces the building of a prestigious franchise in the NFL; the dynasty of the Steelers of the 1970s; Rooney’s decades of work to support reconciliation in Northern Ireland, which led to him becoming U.S. ambassador to Ireland in 2009; and the Rooney Rule, an NFL policy that requires teams to interview a diverse slate of candidates for head coaching jobs.
Established in 2003, the Rooney Rule is now considered a best practice when it comes to diversity and inclusion, and has served as a blueprint for corporate America. Facebook, Pinterest, Intel, Xerox, Amazon, and even the Pentagon have incorporated some iteration of the rule into their hiring practices.
Join us before the Cleveland Browns take on the Pittsburgh Steelers for a free conversation on diversity and inclusion in the NFL (and maybe some history on the famed Cleveland-Pittsburgh rivalry).

PARKING GARAGE
Playhouse Square has kept event parking affordable for our guests. In fact, at just $20, the on-site Playhouse Square garage is priced lower than other parking facilities at every downtown entertainment and sports venue, where prices are sometimes more than double on event night for lots that can be several blocks away.
The garage offers a covered walkway into the theaters. The walkway is accessible from the 2nd floor of the garage and elevators are available on each parking level.
Purchase night or weekend parking in the Playhouse Square Parking Garage (located at 1450 Chester Avenue).
The Lumen Parking Garage is conveniently located across the street from the theaters, entering on E. 17th Street between Prospect and Euclid.
Parking passes must be purchased prior to the day of your performance.
Note: On the day of your performance, you will not be able to purchase Playhouse Square Parking Garage passes online or at the Box Office. Drive-up on-site parking may still be available at the published on-site rate. No overnight parking.
