Mark,

I concur! I'm an avid baseball fan and have been to quite a few major league parks around the country. I used to be in a group of 25-30 that went to a different city every summer for a weekend of ball games.

PNC was one of the best and in fact is probably a solid Top 3 on the list of favorites. Everything about the experience was top notch and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Only problem with trying to visit ballparks these days is they build them so fast that it's hard to keep up!

John, Yes indeed it is hard to visit every ballpark.  Our now retired pastor and his son had to settle on visiting a game in every major league city, not every stadium.  I have seen games in 4 stadiums, besides Forbes Field, Three Rivers, and PNC Park, I also saw a game in Baltimore's Memorial Stadium to show how long ago that was.  If you ever go back to PNC Park, get something to eat at Manny Sanguillen's sandwich shop inside the park.  He is often there and you will be greeted with his always friendly grin.  One of the nicest Pirates ever, like Willie Stargell.

One thing I do not like that they changed in PNC Park on my last visit 2 or 3 years ago was that they added the lit panels the whole way around the edge of the upper level like they have in hockey arenas.  The lights flash on and off, back and forth.  I found it really annoying to my eyes.  That's a senor citizen's opinion.  I'm sure younger folk find it exciting!!
