Yeah, as someone who lost two teams (Nordiques and Expos), I find it sooooooooooo stupid that people would wish for the team to leave. Even a shit team is better than no team at all.
A night at PNC is super fun. The team has an history of over 120 years. You don't flush all of that down the toilet because Bob Nutting is a cheap piece of shit.
You stay away because he's a cheap POS who's only going to pass down the reins to his daughter and keep this rein of terror going long after I'm gone. I've been gone for the most part since 2007, 17 years removed of a more than 30+ years 162 game fan.
The whole team history loses value when that's all you have is 17 years of sorrow and mismanagement and crooked ownership.
I won't be suckered again. Just remember we tax payers help fund that POS's stadium. Like 147.0 worth while the team only forked over 40.0 and the rest was a state grant of 75.0.
This scum profits off of us each and every year while not giving back shit worth discussing.
I'd gladly go down and demo a few blocks worth or more of my tax money used to help billionaires get to be bigger billionaires. just remember that number 147.0. The Nuthing's deserve no help but people still give him profits forgetting we already paid our share.
If it takes moving to remove these greedy POS's, then that's what it takes. Keep the naming team rights and push 'em out 2030. See you never.
You can always start over. It's like staying in a bad marriage. Why? Because of a stadium built with our own money. This city has thrown much more away for lesser things in its 200+ history.
You can come down and treat it like "A Field Of Dreams" remake and watch all the Pirate greats come from out of the outfield walls and pitching dugouts and have a much better time.
Roberto Clemente throws the ball all the way from the warning track to home plate for the out...!
