 Thompson, however, was unable to secure a place to play in Boston.After meeting with Rooney, plans changed whereby Thompson's club (ostensibly the former Steelers) would play in Philadelphia as the Eagles, while the Rooney-Bell owned team would play in Pittsburgh as the Steelers, effectively trading the two clubs between their cities.Before the 1941 season, Rooney returned the name to Steelers back from the Ironmen.
