We spent Labor Day weekend at my parent’s house in Knox, PA where we got to visit with both my brother’s and sister’s families as well. The weather had turned a bit colder for most of the weekend, but the sun came out for a great day at the ball park. With the exception of my brother-in-law, who had to work, all 15 of us went to the game - which included my two kids, 5 nephews and 1 niece.
We were able to get a nice group ticket package that included good seats near the foul pole in the lower section of left field; a hat for everyone and our name on the scoreboard (although we were not fast enough to get a picture of it). We were almost able to catch a foul ball, but it landed in an empty seat 2 rows behind us. Speaking of empty seats, there were a lot of them (only 18,000 people in total) as you can imagine for a team that hasn’t had a winning season in 18 years…embarrassing.
The Pirates lost 8-1, but the best part about then entire day was that after the game, all the kids got to go down to the field and run the bases. On the field behind home plate, is a sign that says “PNC Park – The Best Ballpark in America.” They may not have a great team, but this is a must-see park for any baseball fan as the design with the river, bridges and skyline are amazing.
