Plan B is the name given to the Regional Destination Financing Plan. The goals of this initiative are to raise funds to develop two new athletic stadiums in the City of Pittsburgh, one for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the other for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Additionally, Plan B has developed an outline for a new convention center that will triple the number of visitors, events, professional seminars and conventions. Furthermore, demolition has begun in the site for the new football stadium. Pittsburgh also has a thriving cultural district that gives Pittsburgh residents and visitors the opportunity to spend an evening with the symphony or enjoy the afternoon at the theatre before dining at one of Pittsburgh's numerous restaurants.
All year round the city offers weekend events.
However, the summertime thrives with events, which showcase the city and its vitality. The Three Rivers Regatta for example is a weekend at Point State Park that allows event-goers to participate in activities on Pittsburgh's three rivers.
