What the heck is there in Pittsburgh to do?

Some of ya'll probably know, but I got my girlfriend Kenny Chesney concert tickets in June. It's in Pittsburgh which is about 4.5 hours away. We're going to go down a day early, get a hotel and spend two days in Pitt. The onlt thing we could find that sounded good was the Pitt Zoo/Aquarium. They supposedly have a really nice mall as well so I'll let her have a little fun there for awhile.

Does anyone know of anything in downtown area? Or any like well know headquarters in the Pitt area that might have a museum kinda thing.

The concert is at Heinz Field, so we'll be able to check out the stadium before the concert, so we don't really need to plan that part.

See if this link helps. If you have not booked a hotel yet, a cool place to stay is the Sheraton Inn at Station Square. The Sheraton is on the river within the city with shops annd restaurants and you can take a boat over to Heinz Field for the concert.

Yea, I've been searching those links. I think we've found a hotel that is just on the other side of the Allegheney (sp?) and is only 8 min from the stadium. It's just a simple Best Western, but only $81 for a night. I voted for the Hilton or the Double Tree Hotel, but I couldn't get my girl to go for that, lol.

I've been to the zoo, it's pretty cool. They have a nice water exhibit sponsored by PPG. Lots to do in Pittsburgh, Carnegie center is a blast.
