PNC Park is a jewel.  What an incredible place to see a baseball game!  I've been to half a dozen big league parks and PNC beats them all. It is certainly at the top of the heap among MLB ball parks.\n\nFor maximum atmosphere, sit along the third base line to get a good view of the downtown Pittsburgh skyline out past right field.  PPG Place is almost straight down the first base line, so sit around third base.  I went to a night game here, and watching the city lights come on was a real treat.  \n\nFrom the airport, go east on I-376 (formerly I-279) the Penn-Lincoln Parkway.  This road winds through hills until you get to the Fort Pitt Tunnel.  Coming out of the tunnel, you emerge suddenly into the wide, open spaces at the confluence of the \"three rivers\" and the Fort Pitt Bridge over the Monongahela River.  PNC and Heinz Field are visible to your left with downtown straight ahead and to your right. This sudden and dramatic change of scenery is a neat experience.\n\nI parked at one of the cash lots along General Robinson Street a couple blocks to the east.  No hassle or big traffic problems getting in or out. A neater experience would have been to park downtown and walk across the Clemente Bridge on 6th Street, which closes for pedestrians on game nights.\n\nI wish the Pirates had a better, more competitive team to go with this gorgeous venue.  This park deserves a World Series or two.
