Large Video Screen Planned For New North Shore Plaza

PITTSBURGH, PA — The Pittsburgh Planning Commission is expected to vote in two weeks on a proposed large LED video screen in a new North Shore plaza across the street from PNC Park. The screen would permit plaza patrons and passersby to view Pirates games and possibly other events.

Details on the project emerged during a commission meeting Tuesday, when the panel learned the 917-square-foot screen would be 22 feet tall and 40 feet wide.

The screen is expected to be a key component of the 30,000-square foot plaza, which will have games, activities, live music and and other entertainment, yoga, movies and more. It also will be available to host large group and corporate events.

Adjacent to the plaza will be a new experiential restaurant and bar on the first floor of a new six-story mixed-use building at the corner of Mazeroski Way and West General Robinson Street.

HiLife Hospitality is developing and will operate the restaurant and plaza. The company operates the successful local Burgatory and Shorty's restaurant chains.

The entertainment destination is set to open for the 2025 Pirates season.
