The fourth day of our trip consisted of sleeping in, driving to Pittsburgh, and watching the game. Once we arrived and parked, we were walking towards the stadium and I decided to ask someone if we were allowed to take our own drinks into the stadium since the prices inside are astronomical. He didn’t really know, but he followed us all the way to the stadium and kept telling us the same couple of things over and over again. He told that we had to do ourselves a favor and go to the upper deck and look out of the stadium. So here it is…

It is a pretty cool view since the stadium opens up to the whole city. We didn’t, however, see any of the boats, geese, or ducks that the guy kept raving about. A buddy of mine did get a ball that one of the players threw into the crowd though.

We also decided to try out a dish that is supposedly pretty unique to Pittsburgh. It’s a dumpling type of thing that’s stuffed with mashed potatoes and fried in butter and onions. It’s pretty average, but it was something to experience. The game wasn’t very memorable, but I’m glad that I got to see the ballpark.
