It will host names like Nelly, Steve Aoki and 2 Chainz during the week of the draft. After that, it is expected to host about 40 to 60 concerts a year.&#8221;We actually think that our size allows us to be a little different than Stage AE and a little different than other venues in Pittsburgh,&#8221; Pollock said. &#8220;The range will be incredible, and the genres will be different, and we&#8217;re going to have country and hip-hop and rap and just regular American jams.&#8221;SugarBird, one of the food vendors at the plaza, offers a variety of favorites.&#8221;SugarBird is all my favorite food groups. It&#8217;s chicken, chicken fingers, soft-serve ice cream and a full bar. What else could you possibly ask for?&#8221; Pollock said. The location has Pittsburghers excited.&#8221;This is going to be huge.
