What you\u2019re not thinking about is something outside of your control entirely ruining your experience.<\/p>\n<p>One woman on TikTok shared a bizarre example of how something like that can happen.<\/p>\n<p>In a viral video that got over 1.9 million views, TikTok creator Alexis Salvatore (@alexissalvatore) filmed a leaky pipe above the bleachers at <a href=\"https:\/\/brobible.com\/sports\/article\/interview-pirates-fan-fell-from-stands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">PNC Park<\/a>, then followed it down to where it was landing: right onto a field-level seat.<\/p>\n<p>The clip shows a man sitting there in a baseball cap, holding a drink, fully geared up in a raincoat as water drips directly onto him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think this boy deserves a free ticket @<a href=\"https:\/\/brobible.com\/tag\/pittsburgh-pirates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Pittsburgh pirates<\/a> nation,\u201d Salvatore wrote in the video\u2019s caption.<\/p>\n<p>Unexpected Lore In The Comments<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s my ex,\u201d one user wrote in the comments section. \u201cHe\u2019s fine.\u201d Her comment got over 34,600 likes.<\/p>\n<p>Another commenter appreciated the man\u2019s attitude. \u201cAdapt. Change. Overcome,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>A third assumed the worst. \u201cPlot twist those are the sewer pipes,\u201d a third added.<\/p>\n<p>But one commenter who said they worked maintenance at PNC Park offered an explanation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI worked maintenance at PNC Park for a couple years, this is from a line off the Suite Level, and it being that far forward means it\u2019s a drain line for the seating up there! Not sewage,\u201d they explained. \u201cThe suite level toilets are much farther back towards the main concourse. If this ever happens to anyone, bring it up to the attendant for your seating section and they\u2019ll call maintenance and most likely move you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A fifth commenter shared their experience. \u201cThis happened last year at Wrigley when I was there, someone put in a help ticket on the app and Tom ricketts himself came and looked at it,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>What Can You Do In This Situation?<\/p>\n<p>If you end up in a seat like this at a baseball field, you don\u2019t have to just sit there and deal with it.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you should do is flag down an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Dodgers\/comments\/1d7ngfd\/comment\/l73eptt\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">usher<\/a> or the attendant for your section. They\u2019re usually the quickest way to get help, and situations like leaks or broken seats are something they\u2019re expected to handle. Most of the time, they\u2019ll either call maintenance or move you to a different seat if there\u2019s one available.<\/p>\n<p>If that doesn\u2019t get resolved right away, it\u2019s worth heading to guest services. Stadiums don\u2019t want fans having a bad experience, so they\u2019ll often try to fix it, whether that means relocating you or offering some kind of compensation.<\/p>\n<p>BroBible has reached out to PNC Park via email and Salvatore via TikTok messages for comment.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Via iStockphoto \/ @alexissalvatore0 TikTok When you\u2019re buying baseball tickets, you\u2019re usually trying to get as close to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671350,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2402],"tags":[5,4,10,776,64,4297,61754],"class_list":{"0":"post-671349","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-pittsburgh-pirates","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-mlb","10":"tag-pirates","11":"tag-pittsburgh","12":"tag-pittsburgh-pirates","13":"tag-pittsburghpirates","14":"tag-weird-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116372543843732620","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671349","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671349"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671349\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671349"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671349"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671349"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
