I would recommend staying at The Westin Convention Center in Pittsburgh. It's where the team stays while they're there and you'd have a good chance of meeting some players. I got in a couple minute conversation with Prince and Mike Cameron, got to see the entire team hanging out in the lobby before going to dinner, saw Yovani, Villanueva, and Uecker getting nice and liquored up in the hotel bar, and even got stuck in an awkward elevator ride with a slightly intoxicated Telly Hughes. The incline is sort of cool. It's definitely unique and it takes you up to a great view and some decent sort of dive-like restaurants that we enjoyed.
