PNC Park Seating Chart
Home of the Pittsburgh Pirates since 2001 and widely considered one of the most beautiful ballparks in MLB. The North Shore location offers stunning views of the Pittsburgh skyline and the Roberto Clemente Bridge crossing the Allegheny River.
Sections at PNC Park
PNC Park's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.
- Diamond Level 100-110 — premium lower-bowl
- Lower Box 1-31 — main lower level
- Outfield Reserved 31-43 — bleachers and outfield seats
- Grandstand 200s — second deck
- Riverwalk seating along the right-field promenade

Section 11 behind home plate is the marquee ticket. Section 138-140 in the right-field corner offers river-view seating with the Pittsburgh skyline beyond.
Tips before you go
The Roberto Clemente Bridge closes to cars on game days for a pedestrian-only pre-game walk. Even non-Pirates fans visit PNC just for the skyline view. The Strip District is a five-minute drive for the city's best pierogis and brunch.
How to read the PNC Park seating chart
PNC Park seats 38,747 fans around a baseball diamond, so reading the chart starts at home plate and works outward. Field-level sections ring the infield and outfield: the lower-number sections behind the plate and along the baselines sit closest to the action, while outfield and bleacher sections are farther out but usually cost far less. Above field level the club and upper decks climb in tiers, and the section number tells you which way you face — in toward the infield or down a foul line.
Three things decide a PNC Park seat: how close you are to the diamond, whether you sit behind the plate or out toward a foul pole, and how high you are. The value sweet spot at a ballpark this size is usually the lower outfield or the first rows of the upper deck behind the plate — close enough to follow the game, cheap enough to justify. Shade matters too, so check which sections fall under the overhang for a day game, and cross-check the official PNC Park map against your ticket before you buy.
Building a seating chart for an event at PNC Park
Hosting a suite night, a group outing, or a private event in the Pittsburgh area? A seating chart keeps the group organized before you ever reach the gates. Map your party onto tables that mirror the suite or section layout, assign each guest a spot, and export a PDF so everyone knows where they sit. For a private event in a banquet space near PNC Park, the same tool lays out rounds, banquet tables, and head tables, then prints a chart the venue's event-services team can work from. Capacity at PNC Park runs to 38,747 for its main configuration, but most private events use a fraction of that in a club, suite, or adjacent hospitality space — exactly the scale the maker below is built for.
