This is one of the best stadium I have been to, and I have been to a LOT of them.... check out my Baseball Stadium Tour list.
Too bad the Pirates haven't been too competitive of late, but this ballpark has it going on:
* The downtown atmosphere before and after the game with bars and restaurants right near the park is excellent. Try one of the Primanti brothers famous sandwiches with fries.... yum
* The view ...... of bridges and city scene are memorable
* The mascot ..... this stadium incorporates the theme of the team... the Pirate is prevalent throughout the stadium including the Pirate guy running around the stands.
* The technology.... the out of town scoreboard in right field is better than any I have seen.... not only the scores, but it shows runners on base and number of outs... a la ESPN.... very cool
* The seats.... good views no matter where you sit or stand.... and there are no really bad vantages points.
* Walking around .... I like a stadium that allows you to tour the ballpark and walk around the entire bottom level.
* Foul Balls - get there early.... and you might get a foul ball during batting practice.... I did.
I really like this stadium......only negative is the team has not been competitive since the Willy Stargel days.
