Far away can be relative. I drive up from Morgantown for games, and I've long since had enough of trying to get to and through the Fort Pitt Tunnel. And after getting stuck way out in the boonies on more than one occasion on Opening Day, I for one welcome my new boat overlords. By the time I got back to my car and we were on the road, traffic had cleared enough that it was smooth sailing to the West End Bridge and around to the parkway and on home.
On a whim I tried the option of parking at South Hills Village and taking the train into downtown. Not really a mistake, but it was about as long a trip as if I just drove all the way into downtown instead (I got off 79 @ Washington and took 19 to the mall).
So if it's a big crowd or the game's gonna end close to the evening rush, I'm gonna likely take the boat, but that's just grumpy old me.
