Worth visiting!
Beautiful park!
This ballpark was one of my favorites on the mini baseball tour I just completed. It’s a beautiful, fairly new park (2001) with a fantastic view of the Pittsburgh skyline and Roberto Clemente Bridge. You can walk along the Allegheny River before heading in to your seats and see some pretty fountains and even a memorial to Korean War veterans.
The park itself seems small, but the fans pack it in making the place come alive. You’ll also find every imaginable concession stand (I noticed more nacho stands here than any other park I visited).
BTW, Pittsburgh has great fans. They actually WATCH the game! Many people around me were keeping score or teaching their kids what was going on… nice to see.
Also, there are fireworks displays every Friday night. If you go, try to get tix on a Friday… better yet, try to catch the 2006 All Star Game there!
