CURVE, Pa. - The Altoona Curve announced on Tuesday that online sitcom star Pittsburgh Dad will make a celebrity appearance at Peoples Natural Gas Field on June 13, 2019 as the newest addition to the team's 2019 promotional calendar.

Pittsburgh Dad, portrayed by Curt Wootton, has surpassed well over 100 million views since the show's debut on YouTube in the fall of 2011.

The Curve's full Allegheny Yinzers schedule includes the following dates: April 13, May 31, June 13, June 29, July 6, July 26 and August 8. The specialty Yinzers uniforms will be auctioned off after the August 8 game with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the Roberto Clemente Foundation.

The full 2019 promotional calendar will be announced in late February. Season Tickets, Mini Plans and Flex Books are currently on sale by phone at 877.99.CURVE, online at AltoonaCurve.com or in person at the PNG Field offices.
