Pittsburgh Pirates should be always competitive enough to keep pace with the others. I really like them; they’ve always been my favourite teams in MLB. Just read about them here:

All of that information is interesting. I'm glad that you shared that with us. You are correct in saying that going to PNC Park is an experience in itself. It really doesn't matter how well the Pirates are doing, especially if you're not a fan of the team, but the atmosphere created by the stadium is tremendous.

PNC is truly in a class by itself. When you enter the stadium, you don’t actually enter a stadium. You feel like you are outside the whole time. There isn’t a bad seat in the ballpark. There’s even great standing room options; too bad the Pirates don’t ever need it.

You should also mention Manny’s BBQ, a beef stand in centerfield where the sorta-great Manny Sanguillen himself takes photos with you and signs autographs all game long. Pierogi race, Pirate Parrot, statues of Stargell, Clemente, and Wagner… there’s so much going for this place.

It’s also one of the most affordable ballparks in baseball. If you’re a Mets or a Cubs fan, you’re probably better off flying into Pittsburgh than paying a ticket broker to catch a game at home.

“the thriving city that pittsburgh once was”…right…have you even been to this stadium? because obviously now its a ghost town with nothing in it except abandoned buildings, thats why that view from the stadium is so good. pittsburgh had its renaissance in the late ’80s and is in really good shape right now.

“not given the publicity it deserves because the team has not played well enough to garner national television appearances”…except the all star game wasn’t played there or anything. so nobody has ever seen it or even heard of it.

the bridge closest to the stadium is the Roberto Clemente Bridge. the right field wall is 21 feet high in honor of Roberto Clemente. the steel beams are blue not black.

overall this stadium is basically amazing. in fact, its so great that you can enjoy a night at the ball park without even realizing the pirates are pretending to play baseball. the food is great. quakersteak and lube wings, and that famous pittsburgh sandwich, primanti brothers. if you’ve never had one, you’re a joke.

I’m from Pittsburgh and have been to many ballgames at PNC Park. Despite the poor team that has played there, it is a wonderful park to watch a game in. You are very close to the field from anywhere in the park, the view is spectacular, and it has an old-school feel despite all the modern amenities.

It is superior to the other retro parks such as Camden Yards and Jacobs Field, and the Reds new park isn’t even in the same league. Honestly, I would like to know which of the non-historic ballparks (Wrigley, Fenway) that you would say are superior to PNC Park. If PNC doesn’t get a 5/5 rating or close to it, I don’t know what would.

I have been there its fantastic. i went to a Phillies game there last season. I went on a saturday, maybe 20K fans on a sunny day. however the problem with pittsburgh, one road in and out, its tough on a non-resident to navigate in and out quickly.
