How to get to the ballpark?
We drove into the city from the airport of Pittsburgh on the day of the game, and honestly, unless you’re getting an Amtrak train into the city, driving might be the only option if you plan on getting to the game as cheap as possible (ruling out taxi’s from the airport). We ended up parking in garages across the Alleghany River from the ball park, and paid a little too much, we thought we observed discounted pricing for post business hour activities. If you are driving from Ohio, or through Pennsylvania, be weary of tolls. Tolls are not costs that break the bank typically, but if you’re taking a road trip, they can add up quickly.

PNC Park is the most beautiful ballpark that no one knows about, simply because
no one goes. Nineteen-straight losing seasons will do that to even the best stadium. But it’s a must-see for any ballpark lover, as it aced the “old-time charm with new-age amenities” test with flying colors.

The newest amenity that fans want in a park is a good bar. With all of the different features at new ballparks, fans are spending less time in their seats than ever. No longer do you need to be in your seat to see the game. With open concourses and beautiful sightlines, you don’t have to miss the action while checking out the secondary features that stadiums have to offer. Click here to keep reading
