Coming in from Saskatoon, Canada to Pitt to see the Chi-Pens game on Saturday (Penguins are my team). Also, a huge Rams fan so I'll be at Rams-Steelers on Sunday. First time seeing the Rams play live and I've been a fan since I was a little kid.
Fourth trip to Pittsburgh (twice Penguins/Steelers and once in the summer to see my Dodgers at Pirates). First time to PPG Arena.
1) How much for cab/Uber from airport to downtown? Was going to stay at Hyatt right next to PNC but it is $200 cheaper a nite at the Hyatt Airport. Hopefully, I'll still save money even with the trips back and forth.
2) There's a real cool dive bar that was near the Igloo. Lots of Pens action. Forget the name?
3) Tailgate tips? I'll be decked on in L.A. gear but will people be nice if I explain I'm from Canada...
? Gotta have fond memories of taking out the Rams in 79/80 Super Bowl!
4) Do people still congregate at that Marriot that was across the street from the Igloo on game days (pre/post)?
Thanks.
BTW, my flight is Saskatoon-Minneapolis-Pittsburgh/Pittsburgh- Atlanta (!)-Minneapolis-Saskatoon. Brutal but seeing Penguins and Rams was too good to pass.
