Pittsburgh- PNC Park, Hot Wings and Primanti's

After spending the day in Detroit and catching a tigers game we were back on the road and on our way to "The Steel City," Pittsburgh.

When we arrived in Pittsburgh we decided to checkout the famous Quakers Steak and Lube. The restaurant had been featured on the show, Man vs. Food. I relunctantly decided to take the Atomic Hot Wings Challenge.

After the waiver was signed, the hot wings were served to me. You have to finish the wings in less then 6 minutes without consuming any liquid, no sauce and without using any napkins.

As soon as the wings were placed in front of me I began to dread my decision. The smell alone was enough for me but I quickly dove in and took my first bite.

I quickly fought my way through the pain and completed the challenge in under four minutes. With this amazing accompishment, I was awarded with my name on the Atomic Wall of Flame.

After the Wings were completed we decided to take a drive to PNC Park and Heinz Field to see where both the Pirates and the Steelers play. Unfortunatly the Pirates were not at home this week so I was unable to catch a game at the beautiful PNC park.

Before getting back on the road to head to New York city we made a pit stop at the Pitssuburgh favorite, Primanti Bros. The restaurant is know for their enromous sandwiches that are covered in veggies, coleslaw and fries.

The Beginning- Toronto- Rogers Centre

I am a recent college graduate who is obsessed with everything baseball. I finished my four wonderful years of college and decided that it was finally time to visit as many baseball stadiums as I could during my summer.

I began to map out my plans of how I could accomplish this goal. It all would begin with Toronto, where I would loop around to Detroit and Pittsburgh

Me and my friend Mike have arrived in Toronto to catch a Blue Jays game. The city is great, there are a ton of places to checkout and lots of great food and beer to consume. We quickly ate some Toronto food staples and sampled the local brews. We also took the time to take a journey to the top of the CN Tower which was really cool.
We walked over to the stadium and explored the outside area. I am not a big fan of domes in general and believe that all sports should be played outside. With that said, I had never seen baseball in a dome so I was excited for a new experience.

All in all we really enjoyed our time in Toronto. I didn't love the Rogers Centre but it was a unique venue. It's a bit old and again baseball indoors did not really do it for me.

Next up is Detroit and Comerica Park.

Detroit In Pictures- Comerica Park, GM Building and Motown Hot Dogs

After driving through Canada and across the Michigan border, we finally reached Detroit. I was excited about checking out Comerica Park as I had heard some great things about the stadium. Before the game started we decided to take a trip to the GM building.

After seeing what the city of Detroit had to offer we made our way to Comerica Park for the start of the game. We explored the area outside of the stadium and there was so much to see. From massive tigers, to some cool bars, we had a blast.


Inside the stadium was top notch in my opinion. The park is pretty new and they did a wonderful job when they designed it. The stadium look out on the city which is something I really enjoy. There was nothing in particular that stood out regarding the stadium its self, but all in all its a great place to enjoy a ball game.

After enjoying opening day at the park, we stopped by American Coney Island and Lafayette Coney Island to sample their hot dogs. Both were amazing!

Next stop is Pittsburgh.
