Black Friday question for anyone who knows?

Submitted by [deleted] t3_z3idxb in pittsburgh

Hello,

I’m in Pittsburgh to visit family and old college friends over the Thanksgiving holiday. I was hoping to go Some Black Friday shopping done as well. While I’m here. I have intention of setting foot in a mall.

Does anyone know if the Pirates, Steelers, or Penguins team stores have Black Friday sales or hours? I have plans to go to Rally House as well and check out the People’s Natural Gas Holiday Market as well.

I have family members back home that couldn’t make the trip. So I was looking at trying to get them. Some Christmas gifts while I’m shopping.

I have tried to email the Steelers, Pirates, Penguins, and whomever else that I could think of. But I haven’t heard back from anyone. I haven’t been able to call and ask. I work 12 hour shifts and not allowed to have my phone on me at work. This is to due to company policy because we’re dealing with sensitive information.

So any help would be greatly appreciated and Happy Thanksgiving!

I honestly doubt you’ll find Black Friday deals at any of the official team stores like PensGear. It’s definitely worth a trip to Steel City at 625 Smithfield. They have unique Pittsburgh sports themed apparel and gifts that are really nice.

The Pirates Clubhouse Store at PNC Park is closed today, but open Friday and Saturday from 9am - 5:30pm.

The Steeler Pro Shop at Acrisure Stadium is also closed today, but is open tomorrow from 10:00am - 5:00pm.

Unfortunately, the Penguins Pens Gear Shop at PPG is closed both today and Friday, isn't open on Saturday or Sunday, and will open again on Monday at 10:00am.

All of that said, you can find gear for all three sports teams at just about any large department store in the Pittsburgh area. Or try the strip district, where you can find stores like Yinzers in the Burgh (usual hours 9am - 5pm, Saturdays 8am - 6pm). Can't see anything online about if they are open or closed today or tomorrow. Also Black and Gold forever in the strip. Unknown if open today or tomorrow, but if so, hours would be 10am - 3pm. Saturday hours are 8am - 4pm, Sunday 9am - 4pm.

Good luck and enjoy your visit.

Thanks for your help, it’s much appreciated. I didn’t think of checking out the Strip District. I’ll definitely check that out as well.

I’m trying to avoid malls, department store, well any big box store, or online. Since they all seem to carry almost all of the same stuff.

Is the Heinz History Center any good? I was thinking of taking my son to the Carnegie Science Center. But seeing how the History Center has the sports museum. I think that he may enjoy it more.

Heinz is good, but if your kids wants to participate more than look at displays about sports, don't forget that Carnegie Science Center also has the Sportsworks.

The Pens Gear store in the Southside works is running 20% off the entire store on Black Friday!
