I found it wise to never rely on the 61C while at the Waterfront, far too many times I had to call a cab.

The Pitt is a GREAT walking city. We walked all over from our hotel down at The Point, up to The Strip (Hit Heinz and Primati's) past The Igloo, down over to The Southside.>>>


No more Igloo, Kal. :-(
We were lined up there for the Labor Day parade, strange to not see that dome there...

Steelersfan: My last year in Pittsburgh was the first year they used the new stadium, what are they doing with the space where the Igloo was? Parking lot? Or did they extend the housing that was across the street?

NO MORE IGLOO!!!! :((

Glad we at least got to walk by it <see profile pic>.
When we were there we missed the free open practice for the Pens due to family commitments out on "The Island".
Consol is the new arena? It was about 90% complete when we were there.

Got to see a game at PNC. I rate it right up there with SF Giants' ATT Park (slight edge to ATT, tho).

PNC is a great ballpark for sure.
Yes, Consol is the new arena for the Pens, opened on August 18, 2010, with a concert by Sir Paul McCartney.
there is Arena football there now, too.

worm, so far nothing done with the 28 acres as far as I know, but Pens have talked of housing, parking, retail.

Obviously did not take the trip back in October like I wanted due to the strike, however, we will be headed there in two weeks to catch two games! I will def be taking all of this advice and let you know all know how it was when I return! Thanks again!
