26 Draft

My wife and I traveled to Pittsburgh for the first 2 days of the draft....Pittsburgh did not disappoint. Weather was perfect, people were awesome, food was fantastic and the city was absolutely on point! We are making plans to attend a game in Pittsburgh sooner, rather than later. Most likely next season, as I am going to be out of vacation for this year. I have told everyone that asks...I would 100% move to the Pittsburgh area, if I could. I love the place! To everyone on here that lives in the greater Pittsburgh area, you have much to be proud of. The city absolutely killed it!

 

As a Canadian who has longed to go to the Steel City for a major event, I agree. Pittsburgh was incredible all around overall. Food, people, atmosphere, scenery (namely how lush and green many of the hills where) to even the weather, I enjoyed myself very much.


Definitely will be going back again for certain.

 

They call us the "Paris of Appalachia" for a reason. Glad you enjoyed it here in Western Pa.

 

We wished we could have stayed longer, as there was so much more that we wanted to see, but the point of our trip was the draft, so we concentrated on that

 

I feel ya.


Wanted to do a lot more today myself but I spent all day prepping to head back.

 

I live locally and went down the first night of the draft. It was electric. PGH Metro area knocked this one out of the park it was this well run. Shattered NFL draft attendance record. Not bad for
a metro area of 2.4 million people.

 

I've been a few times for games but never in nice weather. Mid October was the earliest I've been. Want to come in September one year and take in a ball game as well. I've seen a couple of Pens games but never the Pirates. More for the stadium than the team.

 

the best thing is the view when you come out of the tunnel and see the city. a view like no other.
