Second leg of my summer vacation: PNC Park in Pittsburgh. What a great park, it’s really amazing that the Pirates have what is seriously the nicest ballpark around. I guess it’s an attempt to pull in fans even though the team isn’t any good (yet), but the prices aren’t cheap enough to make it really worth it to non-masochists. It’s also full of insane ushers who were yelling at people who tried to move one measly section over (not us, I am too lazy to move once I am in my seat) in a ballpark that was 75% empty.
