Three Rivers Stadium

Pittsburgh Pirates 1970-


generic, circular park planned in the 1960s, with the usual problem of distance between the fans and the action. That, its difficult-to-reach location, and the interminable traffic jams it engenders are partially to blame for the Pirates' woeful attendance. However, visibility for the hitters is outstanding, and a substandard artificial surface increases errors and reduces DPs. Only four batters have ever hit upper deck home runs: Willie Stargell (four times), Bob Robertson, Greg Luzinski, and Bobby Bonilla. It was the site of the first night WS game, on October 13, 1971.
