I remember seeing the U2 Popmart tour at 3RS. Good times...

I'm bummed the Netscape link redirects to AOL instead of being dead. I'd rather be dead than be associated with AOL.

Good thing the website still works, the city/county is still paying for that concrete donut.

I got to run the bases there as a kid and throw a few pitches in the bullpen. The loudest NFL game I ever went to was a regular season night game against the Colts. My seats were in the section right below the upper deck and the noise had no where to go.

Everyone knows this one by now but I still enjoy it

I sat in the local FOX box the last Buccos game I attended and drank one beer every inning; the Pirates lost, of course.

As a kid I loved going to Pirates games TRS and sitting in the Bullpen Lounge. Got two balls in one season while sitting there.

Ah, Buc Nights. Used to sit above Barry Bonds and yell at him for hours. Good times.

I should note that the beer was free.

Have only been to one NFL game my entire life. 82 or 83, Stillers - Browns, second row from the top of Three Rivers. Had a better view of downtown than the field.

Used to go to tons of Bucco games back in the late 80s/early 90s when GA seats were still dirt cheap.
I only saw one Stiller game there... it was against the Browns. Stillers won.

My first in-person Steeler game was the 24-3 loss to the Bills in the '92-93 playoffs. A weird retrospective of that game: http://www.steelers.com/news/article-1/ ... 83229f2ebd
I also went there in the summer once and got to tour the Pirates locker room, executive offices, and walk on the field. I was in Business Explorers in middle school.

For several years after the implosion there was a rubble pile from TRS in leetsdale. I have a nice chunk of concrete from TRS on my porch.

Yeah, I don't miss TRS at all. Bad field for both baseball and football.
Seriously, I don't know how they played on it all those years. The surface was as hard as concrete... because it basically was. Got to sit in the "dugout" during a tour many years ago.

It looked like s----, but the average view of the field / environment was >>>> Heinz field. The design of Heinz makes the seats farther away / terrible acousticsYeah, I don't miss TRS at all. Bad field for both baseball and football.

Went to a lot of games in the 70's and early 80's, sitting mostly in the outfield and upper deck outfield and those seats weren't good. Then we had a partial season ticket package at the 200 level first base side in '82 and those seats were great. I have fond memories of that place.

I went to the last game at Three Rivers (Steelers / Redskins). People were passing around screw drivers in the 4th quarter to take their seats apart for souvenirs. I still have the cup holder displayed in my gameroom.
The coolest part was that all of the current and a lot of the past Steelers did a parade around the stadium after the game, shaking the hands of all of the fans. I was able to move up to the railing and got to shake hands with so many Steeler greats. Awesome moment as a 20 year old. I remember thinking that Greg Lloyd was the biggest human being that I would ever see, and that Kordell ignored me when I tried to shake his hand.

3000 years from now anthropologists will be surfing our interwebs and say "I can't believe anyone ever thought building a stadium like that was a good idea."
