PNC Park
PNC Park is
located at 115 Federal Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15212,
and plays home to the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National
League Central. PNC Park opened in the beginning of the 2001
season and can facilitate more than 38,000 people. PNC Park was
the first ballpark with a two-deck design to be built in the
United States since Milwaukee's County Stadium was completed
in 1953. The highest seat is only 88 feet from the field because
of the intimate design and ideal sight lines. Former Pirate Manny
Sanguillen actually owns and operates a barbeque in the outfield
bleachers, and will even sign autographs while you wait for your
order.
To hit a ball into the Alleghany River, running
behind right center field, you’d have to hit it at least 443 feet and
4 inches. The seating capacity is just over 38,000 people and
the natural grass field covers just over 3 acres of land. The
construction was completed in just less than two years and only
cost $216 million. A ticket in the grandstands or bleachers will
only cost you $9 a ticket, tickets in front of the river walk
are only $17 a ticket, and a ticket right behind either of the
dugouts is worth a respectable $35.
