It’s the most picturesque of stadiums, but you knew that. The bridge and the skyline are as impressive in person as they are in pictures.
The limited seating adds to the park’s appeal. There are few rows of outfield seating, and the place has just two decks, which I believe is unique among the new wave of stadiums.
The bullpens are unique. Like in New York and Philadelphia, both are in the same spot, but while in those places they’re tiered, here it looks as if the two staffs could compete in a poker game during the early innings.
A flaw: the out-of-town scoreboard in right field. I obsess on those, don’t I? Like Philadelphia, this one gives you the score, the inning and the situations — outs, base runners — of out-of-town games. But not the pitchers!
The place is gorgeous after games also, with blue lights marking the ramp in left field.
The verdict on PNC Park: A-minus.
