Who Should Sit Here
The Home Plate Club is ideal for fans looking for one of the most premium experiences at PNC Park. With seats positioned directly behind home plate and upscale amenities included, it’s a great option for entertaining guests, hosting clients, or enjoying a Pirates game with added comfort and service.
Location & Seating Details
Home Plate Club seating is located directly behind home plate in Sections 14–19 and Rows A-E in section 20. Each section sits between the two dugouts and contains no more than 12 rows, keeping every seat close to the action.
Seats in this area feature plush theater-style chairs designed for comfort, with extra padding, wider seat bases, and additional legroom compared to standard stadium seating.
Views from Home Plate Club
Sitting directly behind home plate provides one of the most balanced and complete views of the field at PNC Park. From this vantage point, fans can clearly track every pitch, watch defensive alignments develop, and follow plays across the entire infield.
The close proximity to the field also gives fans a strong connection to the action. Being positioned between the dugouts means you’ll have a great perspective of both teams while still being close enough to hear the crack of the bat and the sounds of the game.
Club Access & Amenities
Home Plate Club ticketholders receive a number of premium amenities before and during Pirates games.
Included with your ticket:
Pregame All-Inclusive Meal: A buffet-style dining experience available before first pitch.
Complimentary Concessions: Classic ballpark food and non-alcoholic beverages throughout the game (alcohol available for purchase).
In-Seat Wait Service: Order food and drinks directly from your seat so you don’t miss any action.
Private Club Lounge: Access to an exclusive indoor lounge featuring bars, televisions, couches, and a fireplace.
In addition, Home Plate Club guests also receive access to the Pittsburgh Baseball Club Level (200 Level). This level features additional lounge spaces where fans can grab specialty items like carvery sandwiches or relax in social areas such as the City of Champions Bourbon Club, which include games like pool.
Things to Know
Section 20 Has Limited Home Plate Club Seats: Only Rows A–E in Section 20 are part of the Home Plate Club. Seats in higher rows of this section do not include the Home Plate Club amenities, so it’s important to double-check the row when purchasing tickets.
Arrive Early to Maximize the Experience: Pirates ballpark gates typically open 90 minutes before first pitch, giving Home Plate Club ticketholders time to fully enjoy the pregame all-inclusive meal and lounge access before the game begins.
Alcohol Typically Not Included: While concessions and non-alcoholic beverages are included with the ticket, alcoholic drinks are usually available for purchase.
