When I was in Pittsburgh it was Easter weekend in late April and it was 70s and very nice (that was unseasonably warm for that time) and also that ballpark is easily my favorite. Progressive field faces north so most seats are in the shade for most night games (next year it will have completed their last stage of renovations). Comerica park is decent too and as long as you avoid late June / July the weather should be very comfortable for a game (Also downtown Detroit is highly underrated, a lot of gentrification has occurred over the last decade and now there are nice restaurants/bars/ hotels etc near the sports stadiums and in Corktown).
I would recommend doing the opposite route if coming from Alberta. WestJet has a seasonal direct daily flight from YYC to DTW (Detroit) from May through October. It’s 2 hours drive to Cleveland from Detroit and then Pittsburgh’s another 1.5 hour drive from Cleveland. All very doable car trips. |
Helpful, thanks! My plan would definitely be the Westjet direct from DTW one way. I usually like to do the "worse" travel at the beginning of the trip, and so I'd probably fly to Pittsburg first (which requires a connection) and then rent a car one-way to Detroit and do all 3 stadiums, but depending on baseball schedules and my timing I might do it in reverse.
