Fitzgerald Field House in Pittsburgh serves as a multipurpose athletic venue, primarily hoSting the University of Pittsburgh's wrestling, volleyball, and gymnastics events. Over time, the venue has been a spot for music concerts and other performances. Artists like Duke Ellington, Nirvana, and R.E.M have graced the stage, making it a landmark with a diverse appeal.

If you're looking for the best seats at Fitzgerald Field House for athletic events, then positions near the court or mat provide close-up action. The higher rows offer a more panoramic view, ideal for appreciating team formations and strategies. For concerts, the floor area in front of the stage is usually standing room only, giving fans a chance to get as close as possible to the performers. For those who prefer an elevated view, the regular athletic seating can provide that. Ticket prices for front-row or courtside seats are generally the highest, ranging between $50 to $100 depending on the event. Meanwhile, general admission or higher row seats might run you from $20 to $50.

For basketball games, consider seats behind the backboard; they offer a comprehensive view of plays as they develop, giving you a tactical perspective. For volleyball or gymnastics, a mid-court or -field seat provides the best view of the entire area of play. Depending on the type of event, tickets range from $15 to $40 for these sports.

If you're aiming for the best seats, it's advisable to purchase tickets as soon as they go on sale, especially for popular events. For concerts, consider the acoustics; standing halfway between the stage and sound booth typically provides an ideal listening experience, as sound engineers calibrate based on that position.

Though primarily a sports venue, Fitzgerald Field House has shown its versatility by hosting other events like the Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show, comedy shows featuring talents like Louis Black, and even political rallies. This makes the venue a dynamic space, offering something for everyone.

Facilities at the venue include concessions and restrooms, situated to ensure you don't miss much action when you step away from your seat. If you're driving, ample parking is available, but it's advisable to arrive early for hassle-free parking and a better choice of seats if you have general admission tickets.

Thinking ahead: since tickets are mostly sold online nowadays, keep an eye out for early-bird promotions or special offers for University of Pittsburgh students or alumni. These can offer significant discounts or priority seating options. It's a win-win situation; you secure the best seats while also saving some money.

The Fitzgerald Field House continues to evolve, adding modern amenities without sacrificing its original charm.
