Beautiful stadium and the hounds have some talent too! Feel free to tailgate in the parking lot as well!
Sat in the GA seats. In full sun until sun goes behind Mt Washington. Reserved seats opposite the river are shaded. Rowdy fans with drums, flags, and cowbells are so much fun! They sing and chant the entire game. If you are easily offended by the word "sucks" or chants about "we'll take your women" sit somewhere else (although you can't always understand what they sing....). During warm up, missed goal balls come into section; kids enjoyed throwing them back. Very convenient concession stand and mini field for kids to kick soccer balls behind that GA section. Highly recommend attending! Fun family night and this stadium has a better view of our beautiful city than PNC Park! Very easy acces from Ft Pitt bridge and West End bridge. You should go!
The game was very enjoyable. Family friendly atmosphere and inexpensive as well. The view of Downtown Pittsburgh was awesome. Easy access in and out of the parking lots.
This was my first time for myself and my nephew, who plays soccer, to see a professional soccer game. I found it interesting, he liked it very much.
The stadium is great. The team played well and won. My father-in-law enjoyed the views of the city from the stands. My 7 yr. old loved meeting some of the players afterwards. Overall, it was a great experience. We plan to go to another game.
This was our first time to the stadium. Nice field and again, great game.
Good game, plenty of skilful socer on view. Referee had a bad game, sending off Hounds player for two very soft yellow cards and loads of wrong calls on corners/fouls in second half, but Hounds were superior to Barracudas even with only 10 men on field for 70 minutes. Second goal was a gem, build up play was exhibition stuff. Second half was almost as good, plenty more incident with Barracudas defender being sent off for a deliberate foul on a goal-scoring opportunity and a bunch of attacking play from Hounds, their 2-0 lead never looking under threat. Atmosphere was pretty good, fairly noisy crowd, many families and kids all enjoying the game. Will definitely go back, see if Hounds look as good against tougher opposition.
This was my first Pittsburgh Riverhounds game. It was an unusually chilly May evening, but we still had a wonderful time. Highmark Stadium is great - beautiful location facing downtown. The team was fun to watch - some may snub that it's not the MLS, but the players were very talented. There is a small indoor area where you can order food and drinks. Ours was a group of adults, but it also seemed to be a very family-friendly environment. For the price of the tickets, I would highly recommend checking out our city's soccer team in this new venue! A great deal!
I purchased 6 tickets to the game and took the entire family - including 4 kids ages 5, 8, 10 and 12. EVERYONE had a blast. ALL seats were great. The team and atmosphere were exciting - we loved the backdrop of the city and the trains rolling past during the activity. The facility was clean and people friendly. The soccer was AWESOME! We loved the end zone band - they were GREAT! Even entering/exiting the parking lot wasn't bad! We are considering season tickets and look forward to attending more games in the future - worth every penny. Great family event.
Beautiful setting and a good game. Too cold and we left early as many did. Staff was great and I will go again.
It was a great game. However, very cold and windy. Stadium was very nice in presentation. The seats weren't too bad. However, I would probably recommend sitting closer to mid-field for a soccer game.
This was my first Riverhounds event and I was disappointed in the food atmosphere. Eat before you go or expect to miss more than half the game trying to get nachos and cheese, at least this was my experience at the Bistro! I wanted gameday food and waited over a half hour for what they were trying to make gourmet nachos that my husband barely could stand to eat. Next complaint, the parking...get there early as you cannot get into lots that obviously have open space. Other than that the game looked great and I was excited that so many people were supporting the local team. However, a more unique name would be RiverRats with black and gold team colors! IF I try another game I will eat at Station Square and take the T. Other than that, good luck to the players on a good season!
My 15 yr old son and I went to see the Riverhounds for the first time Sat. night. What a great time! The stadium & scenery were beautiful! We were in the very top row and still had an awesome view. We liked the cheering section too but I was glad we were on the far side of stadium. If we were over closer to them it might have been a little distracting from the great game. However, their enthusiasm was contagious! If I had one complaint it would be that he wanted a t-shirt but the men's selection was minimal. We would have liked a gray t like the players and staff were wearing. For a high school soccer player, it was a great experience!
The night was beautiful and the new Highmark Stadium is really nice. Don't think there is a bad seat. Parking was horrible. Had to park very far, got almost the last space anywhere near Station Square!!!! Also, lines for concession stands were extremely long! Otherwise, great night and love the venue!
What a wonderful evening. Great venue to see a soccer game. Great atmosphere. An excellent entertainment value.
Soccer fans are very rowdy. I had too young grandsons with me and we had to move from general admission because of the loud noise and bad language. Other than that, after we moved, I enjoyed the game and the new facility at Station Square.
Our tickets were at will call and so was everyone else's. a long line with only one person working will call and one person selling tickets. And about two other people just standing in the booth doing nothing to get us to our seat faster. We missed about 15 minutes of the game. We were not happy. Then there were three people at the gate to check our tickets. I would think you would want to get everyone in fast so they would be spending money on food and such and watching the game. I think you all need to get better organized.
Great view of the city, great experience. Great Facilities!
A great evening. Excellent football on the field. Great competition. And the stadium is awesome.
It was my first look at the new stadium, Highmark Stadium that hosts Pittsburgh Riverhound Soccer games and other venues. I liked it very much. Soccer or shall we say the REAL " Football" is a sport on the rise in the USA and this stadium although a bit small was/is a very cozy home to the Professional Soccer team. There was nothing to dislike. The facility is new and clean and even the concession stand employees were on the ball and courteous and proficient. I am sure that " yinzers" will get behind the Riverhounds once they start to win and field highly competitive teams just as was done with the Steelers. In the 60's Steeler tickets were " given " away and i was the beneficiary of season tickets for many years. The NFL will start to decline because of ignorant rule changes and managements propensity to inflict offensive games as a criteria for success. In todays NFL every one is a STAR because defense is frowned on. But this will be cyclic and soon the fan base will deterioriate because of such deletorious changes. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Alas the NFL has determined scoring to be a hi priority. Well more soccer for me. Please stay away. No bandwagon jumping. We have one pure " sport " left. Leave it that way.
