They have meetings to discuss rule changes but implemented little if none of the changes in the actual rules which are not even finished yet. We used to race there and rules were out before Christmas. People need time to prepare., As far as spectators go no more bringing in your own food or drink. We used to do this and sit on the back straight stands and have fun. Now it is dried out burgers chicken and cold fries unless you want to walk to the front straight stands to get their special of the evening which can be good or bad ..

For it being the first year in existence, things were much more organized than I anticipated. My only complaint was with the course itself.

I hope this can be improved in the future, as I would most likely run this race again.

If you're traveling here specifically for Picklesburgh, make sure to look at the maps and figure out parking and your game plan ahead of time. Be sure to wear sunscreen, especially if it's on the bridges again- there was almost no shade and long lines! Stay hydrated and try as much as you can!

Picklesburgh is a pickle festival that for a decade has been held each summer in downtown…read morePittsburgh. Admission is free, and visitors may purchase from several dozen individual merchants that sell pickle-themed foods, beverages, and merchandise. For years, I have attended Picklesburgh off and on. This year, from July 11-13, the festival is located on two of the Sister Bridges--the Roberto Clemente/6th Street Bridge and the Andy Warhol 7th Street Bridge--as well as at PPG Plaza, Market Square, 6th Street, Ft. Duquesne Blvd., Allegheny Landing, and Isabella Street. I attended Picklesburgh on Saturday, and as expected the crowds were large. Some vendor workers worked very slowly and caused slow-moving lines, while other vendor workers worked more efficiently. I enjoyed viewing the 35-foot Heinz pickle-shaped balloon over Roberto Clemente Bridge. I ate the following foods and drinks: pickle gelato from Millie's Ice Creams; pickle-flavored popcorn, pickle-ade, and pickle Hawaiian ice from Ekernally Yours; and pickle-potato pierogies from Gosia's Pierogies. These pickle-flavored foods were not my all-time favorites, but I enjoyed eating them. Other Picklesburgh events include shopping, the Dill-cathalon (pickle-juice drinking, bobbing for pickles, and pickle eating), riding a mechanical pickle, and live music, but I skipped them.

Ticketed events sell out fast, so make sure you reserve your seats to those early. But there's plenty do do by attending the non-ticketed events. Although there are plenty of alcohol-related events to do on New Year's, this is one of the few family events. I've been more than a dozen times and I absolutely love it! One suggestion is that you set reasonable goals, set your sights on just 2 or 3 choices and you will find things more manageable. Parking can be tight, so I try to go early for dinner, then stay for the festivities.

There are also great concessions throughout all the park whether you want food or beer. They have concessions on all levels with American and local specialties.

The line to get in was definitely long, but once we made it through security, it was such a nice surprise that everyone received a bobblehead. That was a huge improvement compared to the Pittsburgh Pirates Mac Miller bobblehead night, where I didn't receive one even with club tickets. The seats in Section 332 were great--easy to access and offered a really good view of the game. Even with the rain delay, the park handled things pretty well overall. The only downside was the ground level area, which got very crowded and a bit difficult to move through, but that's to be expected with weather delays and big crowds. I usually make it to a game about once a week during the summer, and experiences like this are exactly why I keep coming back. Always a fun time at the ballpark!
