I've always thought this stadium was one of the most beautiful parks in MLB.

Check out the view of downtown Pittsburgh...gorgeous:

Very nice. Maybe one day I'll have some money and the Mrs. and I can go see it in person.

just to bad they have to have one of the worst ownerships in baseball right now..

that ball park is amazing, and you would think they would realize they need to bring in some bigger profile players.. they have the young talent, and now they need to pull in some more names as well..

Jason Bay, Jack Wilson, Freddy Sanchez, Adam LaRoche are a good base.. but I couldn't name you pretty much anyone else out there on their offensive side save for the catcher Paulino(or is he the second basemen)

but that is the case of a new ballpark gone bad since typically new ballparks at least make the teams competitive..

Why they don't have a big white parking garage blocking some of that view is unthinkable.

Maybe my favorite ballpark. I really wish we would have done one of those out of town scoreboards in the outfield wall. Much cooler than just having it on a videoboard.

We planned on doing that for retirement. Let us know what it's like. Nice avatar BTW.

I saw the Cards play there in the summer of '02 and its a beautiful place to watch a ball game..

Funny story about the game....I went with my best friend and my pops (we took an east coast bball trip and ended up @ Cooperstown to see Ozzie get inducted into the HOF...coolest vacation I've ever had and probably ever will have) and my best friend and I used some body paint and painted a 5 and a 7 and a D and a K on our stomach and our back (same summer DK passed) and it was so flipping hot and sunny that day that the letters and numbers ended up being sunburnt into our bodies....it was noticeable for like a week..

Got the pictures to prove it but I ain't posting it on here ;)

I love the yellow bridge beyond centerfield. Just awesome.
