Buildings
I had been to Pittsburgh
Heinz
maybe 10 years ago to visit a friend for college and really enjoyed it. We stopped for lunch at the Primanti Bros sandwich stop which

serves your
Kids
sandwich, french fries and cole slaw all between the bread.
The Sandwich
I was really good but not as good as I remembered. We started to see signs that we were not alone in Pittsburgh. Yankee fans started appearing all over.After lunch we headed over the "Igloo" where the Penguins play to get Mike a tee shirt for his favorite hockey player. From there we went to the hotel which was on the outskirts of town and rested up before the game.
We drove back over to
Park
PNC Park, over a bridge.
Bridge
The main bridge is blocked off before game time for pedestrian traffic. We got in and went right down behind centerfield. right next to the yankee bullpen. The team
yanks
was warming up

Kids at game
After 2 1/2 innings it started
From our seats
pouring as thunderstorms approached. Everyone retreated into the concourse where we intermidetly waited and went back out to seats 2 or 3 times as the rain stopped and started for the next 2 hours. After all that waiting the game was called. It was sad but at least we got to see a little of the game and the beautiful ball park. We headed back to the hotel for the last night of our trip before heading home on Friday.
