I spent most of last week in Pittsburgh - and you can't go to Pittsburgh and not make time to visit beautiful PNC Park.
I decided to go to the Tuesday night Pirates game against the St. Louis Cardinals. At the time, my Reds were 2 games behind the Cardinals, so a Reds win coupled with a Cardinals loss would mean good things for the Reds!
First inning, already 1-0 Cardinals thanks to an Albert Pujols homerun. At this point, I thought the Pirates had possibly already lost. Oh how wrong I was!
Ryan Ludwick on base - shortly afterwards Ludwick ended up having to leave the game after hurting himself in the outfield.
Nice view of the city from my seat. In fact, I don't think there is a bad view anywereh in the ballpark!
Not exactly difficult to find good seats in Pittsburgh... The lady standing there is a worker - but she wouldn't let ANYone move down...even in the later innings - despite the fact that they only sold one ticket to the entire block of seats.
The one lady that was sitting there left for food, giving me a perfect view of the out of town scoreboard.
Back to the game, it's now 7-1 Pittsburgh!
Pujols in the field.

Near the end of the game...

The PNC Park concourse on the way out... And after the evening was over and the Pirates won 7-1, the Reds were only a game back. Too bad they proceeded to get swept by the Padres later in the weekend...
Overall, I love going to PNC Park. Great views, lots of good food, and most of all, good prices!
It's really a shame they don't draw fans to that beautiful park.
ReplyDeleteAs a person who's been there many times it's an amazing place to watch a game. The food is really good and everything is cheap (for big league prices) maybe some day the home team will be worth watching.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful stadium.
