Lots of fans say there are a few little tips that make visiting PNC Park even better than just showing up for a game. First, the views of the Pittsburgh skyline from nearly every seat are amazing — so try to get there before the game starts to soak that in. If you’re a foodie, trying local eats like pierogies or the Primanti sandwich inside or grabbing a bite at nearby North Shore bars or restaurants is a must. Parking early or using public transit helps you avoid the biggest crowds and lets you explore more of Pittsburgh before the game. A bunch of visitors mention that wearing Pirates gear or even opposing team gear doesn’t usually draw any weird attention — Pittsburgh fans are cool about that. Also, many folks like walking around the riverfront or across the bridges after games for great photos and fresh air. Finally, checking the ballpark app before you go helps with tickets, menus, and parking info so you don’t miss out on stuff you’d like to do.
