What to Expect
Acrisure Stadium sits on Pittsburgh's North Shore at the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers, with the dramatic downtown skyline as its backdrop. Steelers Nation is one of the most devoted fanbases in sports, and game day is defined by the Terrible Towel, tens of thousands of gold towels waving in unison. The walk across the Roberto Clemente Bridge from downtown, closed to cars on game days, is one of the great pre-game experiences in the NFL. The stadium's setting among the three rivers and bridges creates an atmosphere unlike any other in professional football.

Game Day
There's tailgating in the far lot past the soccer stadium. Come extra early and you can also take the Duquesne Incline to Mount Washington for incredible views of the city before the game.
Go in when gates open and go straight to the seats near the Steelers tunnel in Section 144 first row. You can watch warmups up close. The Strip District has great cheap eats like Lucy's Banh Mi.
The tailgating rules here are Alco Parking's, not the stadium's. Alco is on (412) 323-4455 if a specific question matters to your plans.
Parking & Directions
The T (light rail) is free on game days and stops right at the stadium. Stay at a hotel in downtown and take an easy walk or train ride to Acrisure. Hit Primanti Bros and Hofbrauhaus while you are there.
You can pay cash for most parking spots near the stadium with no issue. Just drive past the soccer stadium to the far lot - season ticket holders have been doing it for years.
The stadium directs T riders to Allegheny or Northside Station.
Food & Drinks
Southern Tier and Shorty's on the North Shore are both great bars to pregame - they're right by the stadium. For dinner the night before, try Tako downtown or Fig & Ash on the North Side.
The Primanti Brothers sandwich is a Pittsburgh rite of passage, coleslaw and fries are ON the sandwich, not beside it.
Iron City Beer is brewed in Pittsburgh and is the blue-collar beer of Steelers Nation. Yuengling is the popular alternative.
Seating
Last row in Section 1 is awesome - better if closer to the 50. If you want to stand you are not blocking anyone. Need the restroom or concessions? Just step over the back of your seat.
The club ring is the UPMC Club; a '200-level' listing without that name is an ordinary seat.
The stadium is an open horseshoe on the riverfront, so the upper deck gets the skyline view and the weather in equal measure.
