The silence is deafening about the plan for the baseball game tickets. Is there anything new?

I'd be up for group tickets, mostly so we can be together to chat. I wouldn't want to go and end up sitting by myself. I just really don't want to spend big bux on a ticket.

What price range are you guyz thinking?

Thursday Dinner 9-6-18.

Meet at 6 PM for dinner at Girasole.

733 Copeland St
Pittsburgh, PA 15232

Please RSVP in the wiki. We'll call ahead of time with how many are planning on attending.

Along with our intriguing ambiance, Girasole offers an innovative, modern-Italian menu based on the freshest and highest quality products available. We have taken traditional peasant dishes and updated them to appeal to more contemporary tastes. Homemade soups, brushchettas, antipastas and a variety of mouth-watering pasta dishes are offered in addition to daily fish, chicken and meat specials.

I'd rather have group tickets. If we're all on our own, I'll skip the game.

Thanks for the link to the digital version. Can someone please save me a copy of the printed version? I’m not flying AS this month.

Group tickets for the Pirates game would be my preference (all price ranges OK).

We have 10 interested in the Pirates game Friday night. I'm going to reach out and see what we can get for group seating. Anyone else interested before I confirm? I'll probably cover the cost and collect at the dinner Friday.

I would prefer something lower level. My knees will not take a lot of stairs to go up to the nose bleed section, which is most likely where Beckoa will want to go.

Saturday
Saturday is the Pitt/Ped State game at Heinz Field, 8pm. This is a huge event. Traffic will be even worse than normal. Also, every sports bar will be packed.

Not exactly. We Pitt fans think of another word that starts with "ped" often associated with that school.

I'll join at the DT though it looks like their are only rooms with 2 double beds remaining for Fri & Sat nights. If anybody wants to split to share costs, let me know by PM. I'll probably decamp to the Hyatt near the airport for Sun night since it's only 5k points.

Also who is Vacant that's joining for dinner Friday? Depending on flights and timing I may just try to meet you at the restaurant while dinner is happening since my flight gets in at 3:45 so not sure how much time to allow to drop off bags and get to dinner/ballpark.
