During a recent Pirates game, a fan fell over the 21-foot-high Clemente Wall at PNC Park and is now in critical condition. While officials say the railing met safety codes, this heartbreaking accident shows that even "safe enough" by code isn't always safe in practice.

PNC Park is known for its beauty and fan-friendly atmosphere. That’s why we believe it can and should set the standard for fan safety in Major League Baseball. We’re calling on the Pittsburgh Pirates and PNC Park management to conduct a full safety review of the stadium and take proactive steps to prevent future falls or injuries.

We also urge Major League Baseball to support these efforts and encourage all teams to reassess stadium safety, especially in high-risk areas near barriers and elevated seating.

This isn’t about assigning blame, it’s about learning, improving, and doing right by the fans. Let PNC Park lead the way in making our ballparks safer for everyone.

Sign now to urge action from the Pirates and MLB before another accident occurs.
