three rivers was cool, but pnc park is awesome! yes, the pirates are at the bottom of the list of reasons you should check it out. here are the top reasons:
1. that whole side of the river has been totally cleaned up- even taking a walk around the park seems like you are in a whole new neighborhood.
2. the beer is cheap for a ballpark, and they have a great food selection.
3. it's never too crowded, so you can 'upgrade' your seats most of the time.
4. you can smoke pretty much everywhere except in your seat!
5. it's designed well, with good to great views from most seats.
i'm sure there are many more reasons to give it a whirl, but these are the reasons i come back! imagine how sweet it would be if the pirates didn't suck so badly......
