POPS' PLAZA
Fans will notice a new and improved experience in the familiar Pops' Plaza. Additional technology upgrades include self-ordering kiosks allowing fans to place their order at multiple stands in one transaction, thus improving wait times.
FAN FAVORITES ON THE MAIN CONCOURSE
Continuing through the main concourse, fans can enjoy a selection of fan favorites including several new beer markets, ballpark fare and a redesigned concourse embracing Pittsburgh's history and personality.
THE MARKET
"As we continue to enhance PNC Park, our goal is to build upon what makes it so special and provide an exciting and memorable game day experience," said Pirates President Travis Williams. "The improvements to our main concourse come after discussions with our fans. These upgrades to improve entry into the ballpark, flow of the concourse and speed of service are a result of that feedback."
NEW SCOREBOARD
The new scoreboard in left field is more than double the size of the previous display, without taking away from the unrivaled views of Downtown Pittsburgh's skyline. A modern 10-millimeter pixel spacing display, resulting in more than 4K pixels in width, will yield stunningly clear imagery to fans throughout the ballpark.

FAT HEAD'S BULLPEN BAR
Replacing the former gameday security building, the creation of this new gathering space above the center field bullpens includes two rows of drink rails, comfortable seating, televisions and more.

KIDS PLAY AREAS
The kids play area in right field has been refreshed and is now expanded to flow along the Riverwalk into the center field area. The expansion features life-sized bobbleheads, a Lucky Climber shaped like a pirate ship, as well as an accessible kid's play bridge inspired by the nearby Roberto Clemente Bridge.

Located just above the Center Field fenceline, The Miller Lite Landing offers a fantastic view of the action on the field, as well as the perfect view back to the Roberto Clemente Bridge and downtown cityscape. The new social gathering space features new drink rails, tables and high-top seating creating a relaxed environment for all fans.
NEW FOOD CONCEPTS
Together with ARAMARK, the Pirates have partnered with local Pittsburgh chefs to create new food concepts and specialty offerings. The new concepts are featured throughout the Riverwalk and in the arcade under the left field bleachers. This includes Cannonball Burger, inspired by Station in Bloomfield, Chicken on the Hill, inspired by Coop de Ville in the Strip District, and Deli Dogs, inspired by Smallman Street Deli.
THE PATIO
Located between the Upper and Lower Bleacher seating areas in left field, The Patio is a newly widened and leveled area that extends from the bullpens to the Left Field Rotunda. The expansion of this platform and new furniture allows for a comfortable gathering space overlooking left field.
AHN PICNIC PARK
Always a fantastic place to host groups, The Picnic Park will now feature upgraded furnishings, enhanced lighting and landscaping, as well as additional access points for greater connection to the new fan enhancements along the Riverwalk.
LEFT FIELD LOUNGE
The Left Field Lounge exterior is now modified to create one large open platform with a new picket style drink rail that runs the length of the space. These enhancements improve the fan experience by allowing groups to comfortably move about the space, all while allowing for improved sight lines from within the Left Field Lounge.
CINDERLANDS CORNER BAR
Open to all fans, The Cinderlands Corner Bar is a gathering space below the Left Field Rotunda featuring specialty drinks, local craft beers as well as fan favorite traditional Pittsburgh brews. The area connects the fans in the Cinderlands Corner Bar to the action on the field. The open feel and additional TVs and furniture provide a more fan friendly environment.
CELEBRATING HISTORY
Retired numbers inspired by the steel design of the nearby three sister bridges and oversized baseballs, celebrating Pittsburgh's rich baseball history, are meticulously positioned throughout the landscaping of the Lower Riverwalk for visitors to enjoy year around.
