The East Coast Championships are rolling into town, and if you’re a fan of high-energy sports action, this is your weekend.
Held at the Pittsburgh Convention Center, this championship isn’t just for players — it’s for families, fans, and everyone who loves a good underdog story. From buzzer-beaters to breakaway plays, you’ll be on your feet more than in your seat, guaranteed.
You’ll see:
- Top youth teams battling it out from all over the East Coast.
- Vendors selling all the gear you never knew you needed (those team hoodies are irresistible).
- A serious sense of community — Pittsburgh LOVES its sports, and it shows.
Local Tip for Quick Eats: If you need a fast bite between games, Condado Tacos near the Convention Center is a slam dunk — custom tacos, great energy, and it won’t slow you down.
Weekend Itinerary for Families:
- Friday: Check into your stay, grab dinner at Primanti Bros.
- Saturday: Full day of games, then head to Point State Park for sunset and riverside pics.
- Sunday: More games, brunch at PAMELA’S (the crepe-style pancakes are life-changing), head home victorious (even if you didn’t win, you’re still champions in our hearts 🏆).
Where to stay: Ditch the tiny hotel rooms packed with sweaty gear and pizza boxes. Rivers and Steel City Homes has spacious homes perfect for sports families — laundry machines, full kitchens, and comfy couches for post-game crash sessions. And yes, plenty of room for your kid’s entire duffel bag. 🎒🏡
