What's too bad is that they have a beautiful new stadium. I haven't been there, but many who have consider to be among the very best ballparks in MLB.
I think Butch is right; they have a fanbase somewhere there. Lord knows that they worship the Steelers.
If you had $289 Mil, now would probably be a good time to buy the Pirates. They're trying to rebuild the right way (as opposed to their old way of throwing money at 35 year old vets...the KC Royals current method), and they have a nice new park and a great tradition/history.

Their owner will not sell. Mark Cuban has tried to buy them and he said the team is not for sale.

And perhaps more importantly, Mario Lemieux tried to buy them. If he couldn't make it happen with all that fan support behind him, the team's probably not for sale. Unless someone really overpays.
