PNC Park Voted Best Ballpark In America By Fans

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – The fans have spoken: PNC Park has been named best MLB ballpark in America.

Fans voted for the Pittsburgh Pirates stadium in the website Ballpark Digest's best of the ballparks competition.

"There are so many outstanding MLB ballparks out there, and our readers certainly know quality when they see it," said Kevin Reichard, Ballpark Digest publisher. "With a lovely Allegheny River location and the ultimate site in downtown Pittsburgh, PNC Park combines a timeless design with everything fans expect in a modern ballpark."

The month long competition "Best Ballparks" award was voted on over a million times.

"We are proud of this distinction for PNC Park, especially the recognition is provided by such an informed group of voters. This honor is a testament to the vision of all of those who played a part in the design and construction of PNC Park, and to the men and women of the Pirates staff who work tirelessly to make certain the guest experience in PNC Park matches the brilliance of the ballpark itself," Frank Coonelly, Pirates President, said. "It is important for the Pirates, as well as for the city of Pittsburgh, that PNC Park continues to be recognized as one of Major League Baseball's iconic ballparks for generations to come."
