Pirates' Mac Miller Bobblehead Game Leads to Team's Highest Attendance for 2025

"I'ma always know where my home is. I've got a Pittsburgh state of mind." — Mac Miller, Piffsburgh

The Pittsburgh Pirates’ Mac Miller bobblehead night drew the largest home crowd of the season, as fans packed PNC Park to grab a memento honoring the late rapper and his hometown baseball team.

According to The Athletic, attendance for Saturday’s game against the Chicago White Sox was reported at 38,041. The first 20,000 fans who entered the stadium received the Miller bobblehead.

Fans reportedly began lining up as early as 8 a.m. for the 6:40 p.m. game, with wait times reaching up to four hours, according to some in attendance.

The bobblehead was designed in collaboration with Miller’s family and plays his song “Knock Knock.” In addition, his mother, Karen Meyers, threw out the first pitch before the game.

Miller passed in 2018 at the age of 26 and the team honored him in addition with a fan message wall allowing attendees to leave notes in memory of and in celebration of Miller.
