What is the must-have food item offered at the ballpark and what makes it so good?
- "A delicious William Penn Beer. It's much better than your mass-produced brews."
- "Quaker Steak and Lube Wings are simply must-haves. They are simpy the best wings offered in a ballpark in America."
- "Primanti Brothers has great sandwiches. They originated in Pittsburgh and are world famous for the coleslaw french fry combo on a sandwich with your choice of meat."
- "Manny Sanguillen's BBQ. It's right behind center field and is just great how Manny is there cooking every game."

What is the worst incident you've witnessed against an opposing fan or yourself?
- "There aren't any bad incidents I've witnessed. It's difficult to get too fired up at a Pirates game, the fans are so numb from the interminable losing!!"
- "I wound up sitting in the midst of a crowd of drunk West Virginia natives who were rude and smoking."
- "Other than random booing, us Pittsburgh fans are a friendly crowd."
- "The level of play for the past 15 years is the worst."
- "Witnessing Jeromy Burnitz, Benito Santiago, or Derek 'Operation Shutdown' Bell put on a Pirates uniform."

What is the best promotion/giveaway your team has offered? What is the worst? What is a promotion you'd like to see?
- "Worst: Running of the Wolverines. There were many killed."
- "The pierogi race always gets the fans pumped up. The only bobblehead I think the Pirates have yet to offer up is Ruth Buzzi. Enough already."
- "Bobbleheads are both best and worst. I would like to see an Eliot Spitzer Night."
- "The best promotion is probably the free concerts offered after certain games during the year. The worst promotion was 'Bring Your Pet Day.' How sad is it when a team has to resort to allowing dogs in the seats in order to sell tickets?"
