I think one of the great things is that it was fantastic when it opened, still looks great, and will have a long life where it will still look great.
I was just out at Coors Field and that is a winner, too. PNC is cozier and you are closer to the action, though... and of course the view!
If you have time, go to the Carnegie museum, they have two things worth the trip. First a large hall with full size plaster casts of the facades of famous buildings and sculpture of antiquity. The second are doors, 32 gilded wall relief panels and a round banquette from the Normandie and later the Ile de France. They give you a real sense of what first class transatlantic travel was like back in the day.

Got to agree with you, George. As an aside, one of our long time family friends is on the Board of Trustees, and on the Art Board, of the Carnegie Museum.
I'll admit I got turned on late to the Cubs this year....only after my son told me I needed to start paying attention.
Going from 89 losses to 94 wins (and still counting) is pretty **** amazing. This could be a helluva long term run if Theo can come up with some more pitching in the offseason.

Lots of good fishing too.

I hope Arrieta gets food poisoning or something. Buccos season ends in that WC game.
