The Cardinals beat the Pirates, 6-3, and we came away impressed with the ballpark experience there. They did it right when they built that place, and it was a good value too.
I got pretty good seats for $20 a ticket, and each ticket came with $10 "loaded" onto it for concessions. When I bought my lunch, the price was $13.50. I presented my ticket, and they took $10 off and charged me $3.50.
Good deal, huh?
We went to a game on a Thursday afternoon, but we got there the Wednesday night before. There was a night game going on, and it's awesome that you can see into the ballpark from the other side of the river.
Just for proof that I was actually there, here I am.
They have a really large statue of Willie Stargell outside one of the gates.
And, of course, the great Roberto Clemente also is honored with a statue.
Here's the view from behind home plate, with the skyline of Pittsburgh out beyond the right-field wall.
As I said, pretty good seats for $20.
One more shot that I took from my seat at the game. Nice view of the city, great sightlines, friendly people, reasonable prices ... if you have a chance to take in a game in Pittsburgh, I would recommend it.
