PNC Park's No. 1!

PNC Park, located just a 7 minute walk from the Priory, was named America's best ballpark by the contributors to Tripadvisor.com.  Kudos to PNC Park, the Pirates and their staffs for creating a great baseball experience here on the North Side of Pittsburgh!  PNC Park finished ahead of such classic venues as Fenway Park in Boston an d Wrigley Field in Chicago, as well as newcomers like AT & T Park in San Francisco.   See TripAdvisor's Top Ten here.
