PNC PARK HISTORY

PNC PARK  (capacity 38,946)

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Park opened April 2001.  Noted for its beautiful look and low open-air infield stands.  Across the Allegheny River and over the right field fence is an awesome view of the city skyline.  First permanent facility to seat less than 40,000 fans since County Stadium in Milwaukee.  It is also the first of the newer ballparks with two decks rather than three.  The highest seat is only 88 feet from the playing field, giving the park a very cozy atmosphere.
