One of the funniest things most people probably missed here by not being glued to Pirates Twitter for work purposes is the people doing the math on the cost of the tickets. Every single person I saw doing it, and there have been A LOT, is using current cost x 81 games x 30 years to figure it out. Anyone here ever go to a baseball game in 1994 and 2024, and they are paying the same prices? Not one person estimated a price hike in the ticket cost.
The funny thing is that the Pirates just said "behind home plate". There are numerous prices in that general area. So people were using all different prices to figure it out. I was getting a kick out of it because I was waiting for someone to say "hey, 2054 ticket prices won't be $40 for great seats. $40 won't get you into the stadium anywhere in 2054"
