If you are looking for some fun experiences in Pittsburg, you may want to visit PNC Park or Mount Washington. Whether you are looking to experience the roar of a crowd or some beautiful views, both locations have something special to offer.
PNC Park
PNC Park is the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. It offers visitors a beautiful view of downtown Pittsburg in addition to exciting experiences like watching baseball games. The Park opened in spring 2001 and was the first ballpark with a two-deck design since 1953. This set-up allows spectators great sight lines, as the highest seat is only 88 feet away from the field. The park has a capacity of 38, 362 and is one of baseball’s smallest baseball stadiums.
The PNC Park has 69 suites, club seating, an outfield barbeque, and outdoor river terrace and river walk. There is a Jim Beam Left Field Lounge and Jim Beam Porch which offer guests a casual dining and sports bar atmosphere.
Along Federal Street and General Robinson Street, there are retail areas such as Diamond Pizza, Atrias Restaurant, and a merchandise shop. New food that is being offered this year is a pulled pork pierogi hoagie, Nashville hot chicken taco trio, cookie dough sundae, and campfire nachos.
If you are interested in going to see a baseball game, you can visit the Official Site of the Pittsburg Pirates to see when games are as well as buy tickets. There is a Ballpark App that you can download on your mobile device that lets you purchase and manage tickets, search for food and beverages, and unlock great offers.
Mount Washington
