Pittsburgh Pirates Tickets |

From its north side, the park provides a dramatic sweeping view of downtown Pittsburgh. The Allegheny River and Roberto Clemente (6th Street) Bridge also provide prominent landmarks in the ballpark views. Stone front and pilasters, dramatic masonry arches along the homeplate entryway, and a steel roof evoke memories of Forbes Field. The archways lead to a public arcade, open year round, that features shops, restaurants, and a Pirates Hall of Fame. The ballpark fits snuggly into the exisiting city grid, similar to classic urban parks, like Wrigley Field and Fenway. The original name of the Pittsburgh's National League franchise was the Pittsburg Alleghenies. Some contend this is from the county in which Pittsburgh is the seat of government. Others say that it was named after the mountain range in the region. Others maintain that Allegheny, Pennsylvania, which became Pittsburgh's northside after a 1907 annexation, was the tale behind the moniker. It is also one of the three major rivers in the city. In the 1890s, the club was referred to as the Pittsburgh Innocents before the Pirates name stuck by the end of that decade.
