Where visiting fans stay

Each area changes how you reach Acrisure Stadium and how you get back.

North ShoreWalking to the game

Sleep across the street from the stadium, between Acrisure Stadium and PNC Park.

To the stadium
Walk from your hotel along the North Shore riverfront (North Shore Drive) to the gate on your ticket. All gates open two hours before kickoff.
After the game
Walk back the same way. There’s no re-entry once you leave the stadium.
The tradeoff
Only a handful of hotels, and North Shore parking on game days is reserved and pre-sold.
DowntownRestaurants and a city weekend

Stay in the Golden Triangle and cross the Allegheny on the free T.

To the stadium
Walk to the nearest downtown T station and ride to North Side or Allegheny station. Rides inside the free fare zone need no ticket.
After the game
Ride the T back from North Side or Allegheny, or walk back over a bridge. Check Pittsburgh Regional Transit’s schedule for late trains.
The tradeoff
It’s a separate trip to the stadium, by light rail or on foot over a bridge.
Strip DistrictFood and a lively neighborhood

Stay among the markets, food stalls and breweries just east of Downtown.

To the stadium
Walk into Downtown to Steel Plaza or Wood Street station and ride the T to North Side or Allegheny station.
After the game
Ride the T back to Downtown and walk back to your hotel.
The tradeoff
The Strip has no T station; you walk into Downtown to reach one.
AirportShort trips by air

Stay beside Pittsburgh International Airport if you fly in late or leave early.

To the stadium
Drive to the lot or garage you’ve pre-bought, using the stadium’s lot-specific directions, or ride the 28X to Downtown and change to the T.
After the game
Walk back to your lot and leave by the route that suits your direction of travel, or ride the T and the 28X back.
The tradeoff
The airport is well outside the city; every trip to the stadium is a long one.

Route information

Getting there
North Shore parking is reserved and pre-sold, so buy a spot before game day. The stadium’s route from the airport is I-376 East, which becomes I-279 North, then exit 1B toward the North Shore; on event days it suggests alternate routes to avoid exit 1B.

Walk back to your lot. The stadium’s parking guide suggests choosing a lot near your exit route; for the airport that means heading west toward the West End Bridge and I-376.

Tailgating isn’t allowed in garages, including the Champions Garage. Alco allows moderate tailgating in surface lots and directs every car to a space.
