Any cool stores or bars? We arrive the night before, and leave for Philly the day after the show. Mt Washington has a great view of the city. Take the incline, very cool. If you are into the bar scene then go to the South Side and check out Carson Street and Station Square. The casino is on the North Shore within walking distance of Heinz Field.

SOH Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Yeah, what he said. I'd eat at Primanti's if you get a chance, if you love cholesterol it's paradise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing more overrated than a Primant's sandwich in Pittsburgh is the Steelers secondary. Both suck and give me gas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, thanks for the tips. Our hotel is apparently at Station Square, so that sounds perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check into it, but I think the Gateway Clipper runs a shuttle every time there is an event. It's pretty cool to do once and doesn't cost much. I'd say take it back as well, but you never know on timing of things like this. Station Square will keep you busy and just a bit to the East right on Carson Street is more bars than you can drink at, literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look into it Gonna be a nice trip, looking forward to see what Pittsburgh's about, even if it will just be a small sample. My only previus knowlegde of Pittsburgh is the Pens, as I have been following NHL most of my life. Hopefully your bars have some nice local beers as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzyslash Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Need something darker, pretty fond of typical amber ales and such. Probably won't be a problem though, I drink all kinds of beers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolranchdressing! Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 By chance anyone interested to share a ride down (coming from Toronto) along the way. Contemplating to go...(I went to LV, going to Toronto and Detroit)...thinking of leaving Tuesday and coming back Wednesday. Any sane Canadians out there?

superdave Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Just booked my hotel yesterday. It will be my first trip to Pittsburgh and the last show I will see of this tour. I upgraded my seats to GA, so I have 1 single floor ticket for sale if anyone is interested. 9th row behind the pit. Hard stock ticket, face value. PM me if anyone is interested.

No, but you might be able to take the Gateway Clipper from Station Square to the stadium. They have it for Steelers and Pitt games, but I'm not sure if they'd do it during the week.

AtGame7 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I don't think the Gateway Clipper runs that shuttle when there isn't a game. The casino is a 5 minute walk from Heinz Field, from there you can easily grab a cab or Uber which will be a very short ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzyslash Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Thanks guys well, I don't mind a long night anyway, i'm on vacation then. Might ask for a late check out, driving to Philly the day after! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtGame7 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I'm trying to get us some space at the casino for a pre show party. I'll post details if I can make that happen and would love to have you stop by. That will be on my dime, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallglimmer Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 looks like even the Beyonce concert last night ended up having some areas closed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, tickets to that show were selling for around $15 on SeatGeek. It seemed as though people couldn't give away their tickets. Guns is still quite expensive on there. I'm not saying it's a great indication or anything, but I just thought it was interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Direction had the upper levels closed off, but I think they kind of over saturated the market by over touring.
