OT: PNC Park replacing 20 yr old seats
- Thread starter TIGER-PAUL

How bad would that job suck? Yikes.
I do think the yellow looks cool with our new uniforms, but I'd still rather have black, which would be much less conspicuous when empty. But it looks like they're just replacing the plastic portions, so I imagine they would stick to yellow at Heinz, since the metal arm rests are yellow (in addition to having the Dinocat on them, much to the dismay of many).

Wonder when they’re going to update the video screen. Most teams have gotten edge-to-edge video screens in recent years.
Nutting is waiting. Park is 20 yo, and Three Rivers lasted 30. So in a few years it will be time to cry about major upgrades or a new facility. Based on precedent. Personally I believe the baseball park will outlive the football stadium.
You’re probably right. I hope that park is there for the next 100 years. No need to construct a new one elsewhere when you can add renovations to maintain its current state and, if “necessary,” can expanded seating and box suites.
Good. Let him start bitching and then do nothing for him. Maybe he will look to sell.
I think PNC Park will outlive multiple football stadium in town, and could outlive most of the baseball stadiums in the "new retro" era that started with Camden Yards in the early to mid 90's. It was nearly perfect when it opened and was designed with capacity for upgrades/expansion in mind. It's also distinct enough in it's design, location, and view to stand the test of time; if only it could host more than 3 good teams every 20+ years. Petco is another from the era that stands out and could span a few generations of fans.
While modern baseball stadiums like Cincy's are nice and huge upgrades over their predecessors, I'm not sure they survive past the typical 30 year lifespan of modern stadiums.

PNC park is the only good thing about the Pirates. They better never tear it down. That would be such a huge mistake.
It’s still the most beautiful park in baseball, right up there with San Francisco.

Nutting has made it clear that he is not selling. He plans to pass the team on to his children. He’s said this on numerous occasions.
Who's sitting in a black plastic seat on a sunny, 85-degree September day?
Was there yesterday for a meeting. Looks like they have a lot of seats left to replace before opening day.
PNC Park probably lasts another hundred years provided the Pirates are still around by then.
I grew up a huge die hard Reds fan & just out of pure sentimental value, I'd take Riverfront any day. I saw so many games there, including the 90 NLCS games 1, 2 & 6 and games 1 & 2 of the WS. I loved that place.
I haven't been into baseball since the 94 strike, but of the places I've attended, PNC is easily my favorite.
Yes. Too young for Crowley.
I did see games at the old Cleveland Stadium, Tiger Stadium, and Comisky.
Why are the club level seats pewter?
Only thing they could maybe do is spell out 'Pittsburgh' to break up sea of gold as anything else would be a prohibited 'roof top sign'.

I went to a game in Municipal stadium in Cleveland in the late 70s. Middle of summer and the temp in the real world was in the 80s. I froze my ass off in that canyon of a stadium/
They tried it, but zoning board shot it down...

the guess the hope is maybe his kids don’t end up wanting it and sell.
Single biggest reason to bring back the inheritance tax would be to force failure Nutting's failure kids to sell the team rather than pay $700M in taxes.
The Venn diagram of old white guys who hate welfare recipients but worship tax-avoiding billionaires that get hundreds of millions in public funds is just a circle.
Well, lots of them have been empty lately, but 81 x 15000 is still a lot of butts in seats. Not so many empties at the Pickle Palace.
I saw 24 games at the Mistake from 1980 until it closed, including two no hitters. One memorably COLLLLD day was in April, 1992, I think. Red Sox and Tribe had a rainout rescheduled for a Sunday afternoon. Four of us drove up. Clemens pitched a two-hitter and won the opener. The Matt Young pitched a no-no but LOST. Indians scored 2 runs on 2 hits and earned a split. The wind was roaring off the lake. I was never so cold in my life.
Three of my favorites! Tiger at the top. My buds and I caught baseballs outside Comiskey one night while we waited for traffic to thin. There was a playground next to the ballpark.
Not in PA. Of course, many think the Federal Estate Tax is an inheritance tax.
nope, and I think they have the dinocat on one the side of each...that being said they don't get the same ass play as a baseball park...
