Pittsburgh Pirates FAQs:

Where do the Pittsburgh Pirates play?

The Pittsburgh Pirates play at PNC Park, which opened on the North Shore of the Alleghany River in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 2001, with a seating capacity of 38,747. PNC Park is one of the most beautiful ballparks in the Major Leagues with, arguably, the best scenic backdrop of them all. It’s on many baseball fans “must see ballpark” lists. The second smallest in the MLB, PNC Park is intimate and well designed with breathtaking views of the river and downtown Pittsburgh on the opposite shore. The Roberto Clemente Bridge spans the river and becomes a pedestrian only walkway on Pirates game days. PNC Park was built in a classic ballpark style using Kasota stone, and the steel trusses and entryway arches are reminiscent of a former Pirates home, Forbes Field. This is a well-designed ballpark, start to finish. Seats are comfortable with stellar views as the highest seat is only 88-feet away from the field. And there are bleacher seat sections in the outfield if you’re looking for the full old-school experience. There’s a brew pub in left field with a 500-person party deck on the roof and you’ll find lots of social gathering areas throughout the park with great views of the playing field and the city. There’s a strong sense of history at PNC Park with statues and various tributes to past players, plus the Hall of Fame baseballs along the Riverwalk, so go early to explore it all. Food choices include many Steel Town favorites, from mile-high deli sandwiches to perogies. Speaking of perogies, The Great Pittsburgh Pierogi Race happens after the fifth inning at every game and is a lot of fun, with pierogi mascots racing down the field. If you’re bringing the kids, they’ll love the recently expanded kid’s zone that runs along the river with a climbing pirate ship and bouncy bridge. The atmosphere is laid back and many fans enjoy coming out for a nice summer night at the park, win or lose. No other ballpark showcases its hometown as brilliantly as PNC Park does Pittsburgh, which also makes it a popular place to take out of town visitors. This is a ballpark that has grown even more attractive with age and was ranked No. 1 Best Ballpark 2024 by USA Today. That is thanks in part to the franchise's commitment to constantly monitoring and improving the fan experience. Improvements in recent years include more gathering spaces, a redesigned concourse, and technology upgrades like the massive new scoreboard out in left field. But when it comes down to it, the chance of watching the team hit a splash down home run into the Allegheny River is something that just can’t be improved on!

Fun fact about the Pittsburgh Pirates...

Pirates legend, Roberto Clemente was the first Latino inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. He played his entire career (which was cut short) with the Pittsburgh Pirates, from 1955 to 1972, and what an incredible career it was! Roberto Clemente hailed from Puerto Rico and faced a lot of the anti-Latino discrimination that was common in baseball at the time. No player has been a greater inspiration to Latino players than Clemente. He was a remarkable player in right field and at bat, with a .317 career average, 240 home runs, and his career 3,000 hits remains a team record in Pittsburgh. Clemente was a 15-time All Star, and won 4 batting titles, 12 straight Golden Glove awards, the 1966 NL MVP award, and was named World Series MVP in 1971. But Clemente is an inspiration beyond his extraordinary talents on the field. A quiet, humble person, Roberto was well known for his humanitarian efforts and is quoted as saying, "Any time you have an opportunity to make a difference in this world and you don't, then you are wasting your time on Earth." On New Year’s Eve, 1972, Roberto Clemente’s life was cut tragically short. He was helping fly much needed relief supplies to Nicaraguan earthquake victims when the plane’s engine failed shortly after takeoff from Puerto Rico and crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, a mile offshore. All 5 passengers died that day. The bridge that crosses the Allegheny River connecting downtown Pittsburgh to PNC Park is named after Roberto Clemente, a statue of him is at the foot of the bridge, and his images are found throughout the ballpark. Some call Clemente the City of Pittsburgh’s conscience. Today, each MLB Club nominates a player to be considered for the Roberto Clemente Award. It's given annually to the player who best represents the game of baseball, through their exemplary character, philanthropy, community involvement and positive contributions to sport and humanity, on and off the field.
