What makes it iconic

  • Often cited as the most beautiful ballpark in MLB — direct sightline across the Allegheny River to downtown Pittsburgh's skyline.
  • Roberto Clemente Bridge (yellow) connects the park to downtown — closed to cars during home games and used as a pedestrian walkway.
  • Statues of Pirates legends Honus Wagner, Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell, and Bill Mazeroski.
  • 21-foot right-field wall — the height a tribute to Roberto Clemente's number.

Notable moments

  • Andrew McCutchen's 2013 NL MVP and the wild card win that ended a 20-year losing-season streak.
  • Hosting the 2006 All-Star Game.
  • The 'Pittsburgh Drug Trials' that overshadowed earlier years (a 1985 grand jury hearing — though that was at Three Rivers Stadium).
  • Paul Skenes' 2024 rookie season — Rookie of the Year and All-Star Game starter, signaling a new era.
