Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
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.
Gold Lot 1, Red 5 Garage and Red 7 open at 8 a.m. on game day.
Nothing on the stadium's directions page covers the T, buses or the ferry, so plan a car-free trip from the transit operator's map instead.
Exit 1B from I-279 North is a left-hand exit. Get across early.
From the Turnpike it is Exit 70C to the North Shore ramp and the Fort Duquesne Bridge, keeping left.
Every route ends the same way: Reedsdale Street to Allegheny Avenue, which becomes the North Shore Drive loop around the stadium.
The stadium publishes alternate routes specifically for avoiding I-279 congestion on event days; read them before kickoff, not during.

Parking Rules
What the pass covers, what gets turned away, and the lots that run on their own rules.
Your Pass
- North Shore Drive circles Acrisure Stadium and feeds general access to the lots.
- Entry into the Champions Garage is from West General Robinson Street and North Shore Drive.
- Champions Garage passes are mobile delivery only, and no tailgating is allowed inside that garage.
- The lots and garages are Gold 1A/1B, Gold 1 Garage, Gold 2, Champions Garage, Red 5 Garage, Red 5A, Red 6, Red 7A-7D, Blue 7F-7J, Blue 10 Garage, Clark, Clark East, Green 21-23, Green 31, Green 32, Green 33, Stage AE, CCAC, North Blue Canal, Nova Place Garage and the Rivers Casino Garage.
- If postseason games are not held, payments for those parking passes are credited towards the next season's pass.
Getting There
Acrisure Stadium's own directions are written for drivers and no one else: three routes in, each ending on the loop of North Shore Drive that circles the building, plus a warning about I-279 congestion on event days. Every approach funnels through the same North Shore exit, which is why the stadium recommends a navigation app for the last few hundred yards to a specific lot.
- Driving
- From the airport, take I-376 E, which becomes I-279 North, and take exit 1B on the left toward North Shore; turn onto Reedsdale Street, then left onto Allegheny Avenue, which becomes North Shore Drive and circles the stadium. From I-279 Parkway North, follow I-279 South to the North Shore exit signed for Acrisure Stadium and PNC Park, then Reedsdale to Allegheny Avenue. From the PA Turnpike, take the Monroeville exit to I-376 West, then Exit 70C to the North Shore ramp and Fort Duquesne Bridge, keeping left. The stadium suggests Waze for the final approach to a specific lot, and publishes alternate routes for avoiding I-279 on event days.
- Public Transit
- The stadium's directions page names no transit line and publishes no stop: light rail, bus and ferry are not covered on it at all, despite the North Shore location. Plan that leg on Pittsburgh Regional Transit's own map.

- Transit
Pittsburgh Regional Transit's Riding the T page: "First Avenue Station, Steel Plaza, Wood Street Station, Gateway Station, North Shore Station, and Allegheny Station are part of PRT's Free Fare Zone, so no fare is required for trips that begin and end at those stations." Acrisure Stadium's A-Z guide sends fans to Allegheny Station and the station it calls Northside Station, so the ride from the four downtown stations in the zone is free. Outside the zone PRT charges $2.75 for a 3-hour pass and $7 for a day pass. The Gateway Clipper's shuttle page prices its Steelers riverboat from Station Square at $8 one way and $15 round trip, with kids 6 and under free. Walking entries carry no fare by definition.
