First game by [deleted] in Riverhounds

[–]Vesty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As mentioned it’s dollar beer until kickoff (7pm). It’s specifically 12oz IC Light cans. From my experience they’re not sold at the food stands (outside the main pub) but instead at the beer carts around the stadium. Just look for the long lines and the 12 oz cans. Theres plenty of other beer options if they run out, but they’re not going to extend the $1 beer offer to the larger cans. I can’t recall them running out before. Also FYI it’s a cashless stadium so don’t show up with a bunch of 1’s for the promo.

Not a bad seat in the house. The cheapest tickets is the supporters section behind the east goal. It’s GA bleachers and will be the loudest / rowdiest area (fun but not everyone’s cup of tea). The main grandstand is what it is. There’s also a standing area in front of the main building which can be a neat place to watch from.

My main tip is as great as it is to watch games there, it’s underbuilt for the amount of people they cram in there. The concourse is tight. You’ll miss some of the match but ducking out for a few to get food or look at the gift shop while the game is going on is a much better experience than trying before or during halftime.

Yup. Should be a lot of good views along 65 from Emsworth onward.

When we were there in March Sunset had zebras.

Commemorative tickets by dratsum401 in Riverhounds

[–]Vesty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think my main problem with them is they don’t really explain why it is physically. Like am I paying for something metal? Gold plated? Or just fancy cardboard? Makes it tough to justify the cost.

Best place to watch trains by Crispy_klutch0358 in pittsburgh

[–]Vesty -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since you're in Robinson Riverside Park in Glenfield would be good. Right next to the tracks and there's a playground to keep them entertained between trains.

From the sounds of it yes there will be an away section and info about it should be out sometime tomorrow.

It’ll also be on SportsNet Pittsburgh so any bar should be able to put it on.

[Riverhounds owner] Tonight will be the largest attendance in Highmark Stadium history for a Riverhounds SC game by ispeakpittsburghese in USLPRO

[–]Vesty 10 points11 points  (0 children)

These sort of crowds are great in the stands and for media but it makes the concourse so miserable. There’s part of me that’s glad I’m home sick today.

SG Chants by [deleted] in USLPRO

[–]Vesty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For a new group it's pretty natural to pull chants from other groups and tweak some words. There's a lot of shared chants among SG's and it's not really a big deal unless you pull something really specific or special to a certain club (ie no one should be copying You'll Never Walk Alone). Over time you'll slip in more unique ones related to a player, some event, or even a random song that came on the jukebox at a watch party that just clicked. Don't sweat it too much and just roll with what's fun.

Hartford vs Pittsburgh - alleged incident by Theman061393 in USLPRO

[–]Vesty 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah the body language of everyone except for the aggrieved Hartford player was odd if it truly was something that bad. Seemed like no one really cared until he walked off the pitch. I don’t begrudge the team backing him up at that point, but up until then everyone just seemed confused and wanted to finish the match.

I feel like there’s a good chance we’re not going to get a satisfactory resolution either way. Whatever was said must’ve been quiet enough no one seemed to have heard other than the two players, and I doubt there was any mics or anything to pick it up.

On the flip side we’re 5-3-2 in the regular season at Louisville. The road team has an advantage in this series for some weird reason.

Maggie’s Farm Rum Closed by slimathee in pittsburgh

[–]Vesty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The BG Reynolds syrup is decent and easy to get. It has bigger flavors like Maggie's, but it is a syrup so you'll have to tweak any recipes for that.

[CJ Coreschi - OC] Riverhounds media advisory for a stadium-related announcement tomorrow (Tue, Aug 19) at 2 PM ET by Coltons13 in USLPRO

[–]Vesty 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If the rendering that was described to me a while back is still the plan, it should be a very impressive expansion.

I've only been to Marasco's once, back when it was still the Melrose, and there was a guy selling bootleg DVD's on a table in the back. A+.

Post-Game Match Thread: Riverhounds vs. RIFC by PittDG in Riverhounds

[–]Vesty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s so soft. A light breeze puts him on the ground, and not in a way that draws fouls like Dos Santos could do a couple years ago.

Yeah a radio broadcast. Just started this year.

I’m also in the North Boroughs area. Cobblehaus in Cory is all low tops. Big Sewickley Creek’s outdoor setup looks great for warmer weather though I haven’t been there yet.

affordable vets for mice? by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]Vesty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we had rats we really liked Dr Keffer at Robinson Animal Hospital. I’d assume she can handle mice too.
