#3 of Underrated MLB Ballparks: PNC Park, Pittsburgh, PA
Paul K. DiCostanzo/TGNR Breathtaking.
Pittsburgh in the last 15 years has shown itself to be a city on a serious rise, and PNC Park is no exception. The home of the Pirates opened in 2001 and boasts one of the most overwhelming views in baseball, a critical component to any underrated MLB ballpark.
It is a ballpark that encompasses many of the best architectural qualities found in the most celebrated ballparks in history. Yet the coup de gras for PNC sits beyond the stadium itself. The view of Pittsburgh from the stands is unmatched anywhere else in sports. The combination of a gorgeous skyline, the Allegheny River, and the magnificent Pittsburgh-gold 6th street bridge.
Paul K. DiCostanzo/TGNR Serious fans want serious access.
The Pittsburgh sports fan is known to be one of the most dedicated in all of sports. Whether it be the Steelers, Penguins, University of Pittsburgh Panthers basketball, or the Pirates, sports are life or death in this portion of the Appalachians.
As the Pirates have returned to competitive relevance in the past few years, PNC has shown itself to house an immensely passionate fan base that only enhances the ballpark experience. Despite renewed interest in the Buccos, most anyone can afford to get into the building and be well pleased with their seat.
