Stadium Preview #9

Stadium: PNC Park
Date Opened: April 9, 2001
Date of Visit: June 22nd
Game: Toronto Blue Jays vs. Pittsburgh Pirates

Looking at the picture to the right, it is pretty evident that PNC Park is one of the most beautiful parks in the major leagues. The park is across the 3 rivers from Pittsburgh's downtown area which creates a stunning view from the ballpark. Our seats (which are located on the first base side thanks to Grandpa Brynsvold!) will give us a great view of the river, skyline, scoreboard and field!

Although this game will be a bit of a yawner, the park will more than make up for it. Because I am a Steelers fan, I hear about all the great stadium food in Pittsburgh, so this day will be good for us to try some nice food.

The giant scoreboard in left field is one of the biggest and best in the MLB so that is a big plus. Also, there is a concourse in the outfield that you can walk on to get a great view of the downtown area without the stadium blocking your view.

All the way around, this stadium should be one of the most picturesque and enjoyable of the whole trip.
