Pittsburgh Panthers Football Gameday Parking

General Public | Season Ticket/Reserved | RV, Bus & Other | Handicap

General Public

Like most stadiums, the majority of parking directly around the stadium is reserved for season ticket holders. Heinz Field is located on the North Shore, just to the north of downtown (don’t plan on parking on campus). If you arrive early enough you might be able to snag a spot on the north shore close to Heinz Field, or just to the east around PNC Park. Parking on the North Shore is generally more expensive, costing as much as $35/vehicle. The majority of day of game parking is located in Downtown Pittsburgh and the Strip District, and prices generally range between $5-$20. The Port Authority Shuttle offers transportation to and from the parking garages for a cheap fair. Following is a list of general public parking options on gameday:

Handicap

Fans requesting accessible season parking must be season ticket holders and are required to provide proof of need annually for accessible parking (for example, a copy of state-issued accessible placard). For Panther Club members, timely requests for accessible parking permits will be considered and parking assigned based on Panther Club priority point rank as of June 20, 2011. After such requests from Panther Club members have been considered and parking assigned, timely requests from non-members will be considered and accessible parking assigned by order date. There is a limit of one (1) accessible season parking pass per season ticket holder account. Based on availability, single-game accessible parking may be available for purchase on game day. For more information, please call 1-800-643-PITT.

There are two accessible drop-off areas for your convenience: the intersection of Art Rooney Avenue and Reedsdale Street at the northeast corner by Gate B, and off North Shore Drive at the southwest corner, directly across from the Carnegie Science Center.
