About PNC Park
On Pittsburgh's North Shore, in Pennsylvania, PNC Park serves as the home ballpark of the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball, and it is the fifth place the team has called home. It opened in the 2001 MLB season on the bank of the Allegheny River and looks toward the skyline of Downtown Pittsburgh. Steel and limestone form the structure, the field is natural grass, and seating for baseball is 38,747. PNC Park went up just east of Three Rivers Stadium, the old home park, which came down in 2001.
The park cost $216 million and took 24 months to build, quicker than most modern stadiums. Populous, then called HOK Sport, designed it in a "retro-classic" style, nodding to Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Wrigley Field and Fenway Park in its arches, steel trusses and light standards. PNC Park was the first new two-deck ballpark in the country since Milwaukee County Stadium, which opened in 1953. Ground was broken on April 7, 1999. Limestone from Kasota, shipped out of a river valley in Minnesota, was used, unlike the brick bases common at other modern stadiums.
Fans find a concourse along the river, an extensive scoreboard for out-of-town games and food from local eateries. The ballpark pays tribute to Roberto Clemente in several ways, and the Sixth Street Bridge close by carries his name. The bridge is closed to vehicles on game days so fans can park in the Golden Triangle and walk across. Its other events include the 2006 All-Star Game of Major League Baseball and many concerts.

- Light towers and open trusses
- Slender light towers rise around the park, and an open steel truss runs along the riverside. Print friendly adapts these thin parts; Full detail keeps them on a larger print, printed slowly.
- A row of arches
- The outer wall has a row of arched openings under the seating tiers. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep the arches crisp, and a larger print size gives them more room.
- One piece with the ground
- PNC Park is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. PNC Park takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
