PNC Park opened 2001 and home of Pittsburgh Pirates was ranked best stadium in Major League Baseball of 2003 by ESPN, scored in categories such as its warm, intimate interior architecture, friendly staff and accessibility. Accessibility?
Yup, PNC Park scores the best accessible for disability, including Deaf needs for scoreboard to have it captioned. To treat the rare candy for yourself: Look the picture above, far bottom from the scoreboard, caption says: "RIGHT FIELD, NO. 22 XAVIER NADY". It all about black board captioned.
It is no mind that Pittsburgh Pirates hired the full time stenographer, whatever the announcer is saying comes up on the scoreboard in live captioning at every game and every event. Never miss.
The disadvantage part is caption board is separate far away from scoreboard, and it takes more work myself taking visually top and below most of the time. I hardly watch caption farther away from scoreboard because I have eyes of the picture everywhere in most beautiful baseball park in America.
Now the worse part is our Pittsburgh Pirates team sucks and continue sucking, logging into 14 losing season in row (as of 2007) since Barry Bonds left to San Francisco Giants.

Every step forward is a step in the right direction, no matter how small it may be.
