    And Jason Bay ... great Canadian player! What is he 15th in All-Star voting? Ridiculous.

    It sure beats Three Rivers!! I don't live in PA anymore and haven't been there, but anything would be an improvement over that cookie cutter. Pittsburgh has always been (and will always be) a football town. If the Pirates got half the following and support that the mighty Steelers get, their attendance would increase by at least 30% and they'd have the revenue to invest in free agents better than Jeremy Burnitz. They have a nice young pitching staff, but too bad they won't be able to keep Duke, Snell, and yes, even Perez (if he can get his head straight).

    They sure do have a great stadium. I had the chance to go on Easter Sunday against the Cubs this year and it truly was my favorite venue for a game I have been to yet. Great job and well deserved for a great city.

    Here are just a few photos I took when I was there....

    Nice pictures, thanks for sharing Bri. Looks like most people stayed home for the Easter Ham. The place is practically empty!!!

    The Attendance that day was a little over 10,000 if I remember correctly. The photo with the empty stands was during pre game warm ups.

    Pittsburgh also has a great airport to boot, had a layover their once, very nice. Jason Bay is a stud and I also like that pitcher Snell? I believe? He seems to be a go to guy.

    my buddy wants me to take the long 3 hour drive there for a game some day this summer or fall.

    he boasts about some huge sammich made by Pimante? Bros? that is sold at the stadium.
