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.
