Pros: Food, Parking, Pricing
Cons: Aesthetics could be better
Summary: Three Rivers Stadium for me, was a very nice and pleasant experience. Eventually the Pirates and Steelers might need a new stadium, but for now, this one is holding up quite well. The aesthetics of the stadium are very nice, right off of the water. The ... read more
