How weather plays at PNC Park
PNC Park is open-air, so wind, temperature, humidity and rain are all live factors every game. PNC Park sits at 780 feet, a modest elevation where wind and temperature matter more than air density. Home plate faces east-southeast toward center field (bearing 116°), so a wind out of the west-northwest blows straight out to center at PNC Park, and the reverse knocks fly balls down. The fences run 325′ down the left line, 399′ to center and 320′ to right — the short right field corner (320′) is where a helping wind turns warning-track contact into damage. Park notes: 21ft RF Clemente Wall; Roberto Clemente Bridge beyond CF; Pittsburgh skyline backdrop.
