| - PNC Park is one of my favorite places in Pittsburgh. Even if you're not a baseball fan (or are disheartened by the Bucs), it's a great place to spend a summer night. It's a super cheap way to be entertained anytime during the summer, especially if you're tired of the relentless bar scene.
I had the pleasure of seeing Dave Matthews Band in concert here, and from my third-level seats I might not have been able to see Dave's face, but I had the most beautiful, sweeping view of the downtown skyline and river as the sun set over it.
The park is beautifully designed, with exposed steel beams that fit so well with the heart of Pittsburgh. It's nice to walk around and stretch during games-- the rotunda is a great place to watch, and it's always a beautiful view at night to walk along the river when the game hits a slow point.
The food is pretty good for a ballpark. Much to my surprise, they serve veggie burgers, which is a nice option for vegetarians wanting to partake in traditional baseball park food. Fireworks nights are always impressive, and I enjoyed the show at PNC Park more than the Point fireworks this year, which I watched from Mt. Washington. It's an iconic steel city destination, and you can't call yourself a proper Yinzer until you've been!
