The city of Pittsburgh is definitely a football town. Even if the team is bad, the fans will still show up and support.

The same certainly can’t be said for the local baseball team.

On Wednesday, the 60-78 Pirates took the field to play the 49-88 Miami Marlins at PNC Park, and by the looks of the stands, the fans decided to sit this one out.

This was taken just minutes before first pitch.
