Into professional sports? You’re just 55 minutes away from major league baseball’s most beautiful ballpark, PNC Park, home of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Sidney Crosby and the NHL’s most explosive young team, the Penguins, and the 6-time Super Bowl champion Steelers with the brand new Heinz field are also within a short drive time.

Wheeling also is home to championship professional hockey and arena football teams. And you can catch 2007 Frontier League finalists Washington Wildthings, minor league baseball, about 20 minutes away.

Major college teams with a 200 mile radius include Ohio State, Pitt, Penn State and WVU.
