Pirates Games
- Sports Illustrated ranked PNC Park the best in baseball.
- Parking - I like to park at the Ft. Duquesne and Sixth Garage and walk across the bridge to the park.
- Rates are $8-$16 depending on day and time ($8 all day Sat, and Sun, after 4pm on weekdays)
- Do NOT choose the garage just before (east of) this one.
- If there's bad weather or a large group, parking at the lots right next to the park is affordable and can be purchased in advance on pirates.com
- Ticket Fees: Pirates/MLB site adds $9 per ticket. SeatGeeks adds $? per ticket.
- I usually have a service where I can get a SRO ticket for any and all games. As most Pirates games are not highly attended, and I generally wander the park anyway, this usually works well for me.
