History:
PNC Park will be the first
ballpark with a two-deck design
to be built in the United
States since Milwaukee's County
Stadium was completed in 1953.
Because of its intimate design,
the highest seat will be just
88 feet from the field, giving
every fan in the park an ideal
sight line. PNC Park will
serve as the fifth home of
the Pittsburgh Pirates since
their inception in 1887. The
total cost of the ballpark
was $216 million.
