PNC Park
Went to my first Pirate game of the season last night. It was a beautiful night for baseball. So why were there only 9,813 in attendance? The Pirates are not the best team in the league, but they are certainly not the worst. PNC Park is one of the best places to watch a game. Too bad the residents of Pittsburgh don't appreciate it. Check out that crowd! More photos.
Note: The 999 was not attempted.
