Well, let me tell you, these young folks and their Pittsburgh Pirates, they got all sorts of rules these days. I heard folks talking ’bout this thing called a “bag policy” at that PNC Park. You know, that big fancy place where they play the baseball. Sounds like a whole lot of fuss if you ask me. But, hey, gotta follow the rules, I reckon.
So, this bag policy, it’s all about what you can and can’t bring into the Pirates game. They say you can only bring one bag. Just one! Can you believe it? Back in my day, we’d carry everything but the kitchen sink. But, I guess times are changin’.
Now, this one bag you can bring, it’s gotta be a certain size. They say it can’t be bigger than 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches. What’s that in real measurements, you ask? Well, it ain’t very big, that’s for sure. It’s gotta be soft too, not like them hard-shell suitcases you see at the airport.
I heard some folks talkin’. They mentioned a few different types of bags.
- Purses: Those little things the ladies carry.
- Fanny packs: Now, those are handy. You wear ’em around your waist. Keeps your hands free for eatin’ hot dogs.
- Backpacks: Like what the kids use for school. But smaller, remember? Not too big!
- They said something about soft-sided coolers and soft-sided briefcases, too.
Now, listen close. They say if your bag is bigger than that 16x16x8 size, you ain’t gettin’ in. No sir! They’ll turn you right around. I heard about a woman, bless her heart, had a big ol’ tote bag. They wouldn’t let her in with it. Had to leave it in her car, I reckon.
And get this, they’re gonna search your bag, too. Every single one. They’re lookin’ for things you ain’t supposed to have. I don’t know what all that is, but I imagine it’s best to just leave anything questionable at home. Don’t want no trouble at the Pirates game. It will make you unhappy.
Now, they say there are some exceptions. If you got medicine or something for the little ones, like baby food or those diapers, they might let you bring a bigger bag. But you gotta tell ’em about it. They’ll check it extra good, I bet.
So, here’s the gist of it. This Pittsburgh Pirates bag policy is strict. One bag per person. 16x16x8 inches or smaller. Soft-sided. And they’re gonna search it. That’s all there is to it. If the bag is too big, you can not go inside.
Oh, and I almost forgot! Some folks were saying you can bring blankets. Those big soft ones, you know? Good for when it gets chilly at the PNC Park. But I don’t think you can put them in your bag if your bag is already full. So maybe just carry it over your arm. It is allowed in PNC Park.
You know, they got all these fancy tours at the PNC Park, too. They say you can see the locker rooms, where the players change their clothes, the suites, where them rich folks sit, and the clubs. They even let you watch the batting practice before the game if you go on a game day tour. Sounds kinda neat, I guess, but it’s probably expensive. Not for me, I reckon. Just happy to watch the Pirates play.
These new rules, it is so complicated. I remember when you could bring anything. But people ruin it for everyone. And now, bag policy. They do it for safety, I heard, so everyone can enjoy the game without worry. Makes sense, but it is different.
You better check the rules before you go. I don’t want you get to the gate with a big bag and they say you can’t come in. Then what are you gonna do with your stuff? You will miss the Pirates game.
This bag policy is important, they say. Keeps everyone safe and sound. So, even though it’s a pain in the neck, we gotta follow it. It is to protect the fans. They just want everyone to have a good time at the Pirates game. Remember the rules!
Well, I hope that clears things up for ya. This old lady’s gotta go tend to her garden now. You enjoy that baseball game, you hear? And go Pirates! Hope they win the game.
