 PROFILE
The Pittsburgh Pirates are hoping a new stadium will do what its limited payroll couldn't. With a tight team budget in the 1990s, the Pirates had trouble attracting and retaining high-dollar players. The team hopes its new 38,000-seat, baseball-only PNC Park stadium, which opened in 2001 with the help of public funds, will put more cash in the coffers. Started in 1887, the franchise has won five World Series championships, its last in 1979, and has fielded stars like Honus Wagner, Bill Mazeroski, Willie Stargell (who passed away in 2001), and Roberto Clemente. CEO Kevin McClatchy (whose family controls newspaper publisher The McClatchy Company) is the controlling owner of the team.
