Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney, the current U.S. Ambassador to Ireland, was kicked out of the press box Saturday night at New Meadowlands Stadium because he didn’t have the right credentials, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Monday.

78-year-old Rooney usually stops by the press box before watching the Steelers from a private owner’s box.

The press box attendant reportedly did not know who Rooney was, and Rooney left without incident.

Rooney flew in from Ireland for the game, in which the Steelers beat the Giants 24-17, and returned Sunday.

Rooney is the son of Steelers founder Art Rooney. The Rooney family has shared a close relationship with the Mara family, which owns the Giants, since the 1920’s.
