After the Hall of Fame we took a byway to Pittsburgh, PA. We arrived at PNC Park at around 6pm, just in time to get some tickets and take in a Pirates game at the brand new ballpark there. The AllStar game was held there earlier this year and rightfully so. As with the other "retro" parks being built these days, this one had the quirky outfield shape, old park feel, and a phenomenal view from beyond the outfield bleachers. Not only do you get to see the skyline which is breathtaking, but you also have the Roberto Clemente Bridge which is painted yellow. I had a hard time taking my eyes off these views, they really are spectacular. Behind the right field wall is the Allegheny River which obviously was an idea taken from AT&T Park in SF. This was a fun park to visit.
There is an Outback Steakhouse behind the left field wall from which you can watch the game, and there are several foods in the normal concessions stands like Perogi that you probably wont find anywhere else. Hmmm, Wrigley Field, Hall of Fame, PNC Park... Isn't traveling awesome?!?!?!
