Pirates seek muted ship color at PNC Park site
Pittsburgh Pirates propose to change the pirate ship outside PNC Park from red to a brown green and gold palette using hardiplank to blend with the riverfront. The ship will occupy under 10 percent of the riverfront and serve as a children’s play area with possible arcade. Final approval rests with regional authorities amid sponsor plans.
