Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
Park downtown and walk or take the T to PNC Park. There are no cup holders for seats in the 300 level which surprises people but it is not a big deal. The 300s still have a great view and don't feel as high up as other parks.
Post-game traffic on the North Shore backs up at the I-279 on-ramps. Walk across the bridge and let it clear.
Some North Shore lots allow low-key tailgating with portable grills. Check the lot rules before setting up.
North Shore lots fill early for weekend and rivalry games. Pre-book online or arrive 2+ hours early.
Park downtown and walk across the Roberto Clemente Bridge. It's the best way to arrive at PNC Park.
The T is free in the downtown zone. Ride from Station Square or any downtown stop to Allegheny for free.
