A beautiful ball park, possibly my favorite of the new ones. Its right on the river, and from the ballpark, you can see the yellow Roberto Clemente Bridge as well as the city skyline. The game is a very enjoyable experience with all the pirate-themed things like mascots, and all that. I especially liked the pirate ship battle on the big video screen right before the game and the seafood restaurant on the concourse (thats what pirates eat, right?). Very enjoyable experience and I look forward to going back.

I went here to see a baseball game. I had never been to Pittsburgh before, and frankly, I wasnt expecting much. I was expecting an old, dying, polluted, industrial city. I was pleasantly surprised. The downtown area had plenty of life, and I found the city neither dirty nor polluted. Its really nice how the city has small mountains all around it, and the city is built around them. There’s also a lot of green around, which I found nice. I really was pleasantly surprised, and I look forward to going back so I can explore more of the city.

Its not bad, its just that its not worth anywhere near the $50 they want for it. For your $50, you see a few models of the Enterprise, a few props and costumes, some pictures, and a timeline of Star Trek future history (things that will happen, according to Star Trek). Then at the end, there is a ride. You actually have your choice of 2 rides (cant do both), but when I went, one wasnt working. I dont think its worth more than $20. At least they are pretty willing to give you a military, AAA, etc. discount without proof. Its cool to see, its just not worth what they charge.
