Pittsburgh, PA 15260

Forbes Field, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was a historic baseball stadium that served as the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates from its opening on June 30, 1909, until its last game on June 28, 1970. With a capacity of 25,000 seats at its inception, the stadium underwent various renovations and expansions throughout its existence, including the addition of a right-field screen and the construction of a third deck known as the Crow's Nest in 1938.

Notable for its ivy-covered brick wall and the monumental Longines clock, Forbes Field hosted many memorable moments in baseball history, including Babe Ruth's final three home runs. The stadium was demolished in 1971, but remnants of its structure remain, with home plate now encased in glass at the University of Pittsburgh's Posvar Hall, and memories of its rich legacy still cherished by fans.

It's great to go back in time and relive some of the ghost of baseball. I also checked out the cathedral of learning nearby. Awesome building. Reminded of Harry Potter.

5 stars for a wall? Yes, that's right. If you're a fan of baseball, this is a truly historic spot, and a place you should see. A portion of the original wall from Forbes Field is still...

A slice of Pittsburgh history, and well worth the visit. But besides the visit, you should also consider attending the ceremony that is held here each October 13th at 1:05 pm to listen to a...
