PPG Paints Arena
ArenaPittsburgh, PA · 19,000 capacity
Built on the old Civic Arena footprint at the top of the hill above downtown, this Penguins hockey barn curtains off roughly a fifth of its bowl for concerts, so the seat map you scroll through on Ticketmaster is smaller than the building actually holds.
The Pavilion at Star Lake
AmphitheaterBurgettstown, PA · 23,100 capacity
A sprawling Live Nation shed 45 minutes west of Pittsburgh where the show is the easy part and the single road in and out off Route 18 is the thing every regular warns you about first.
