Alternate Game Parking
There will be no game day sales of parking on the North Shore. Fans who do not have a prepaid parking pass are encouraged to utilize one of the many additional lots in downtown Pittsburgh and surrounding areas.
Since parking on the North Shore near the stadium is reserved and pre-sold, you may wish to park and ride to the stadium using alternate transportation. Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) offers convenient options from light rail service on the "T," to shuttle buses for fans coming from downtown Pittsburgh and the suburbs.
You can find more information on how to get to the stadium on the PRT Website.
Gateway Clipper also offers gameday riverboat rides to the stadium. This is an enjoyable and convenient way to get to the game.
Find more information about riverboat shuttles here.
Season ticket holders in need of accessible parking on a season basis are required to provide proof of need annually for accessible parking (for example, a copy of a state issued placard). Those in need of accessible parking will have the same opportunities as those that do not require accessible parking to renew their parking locations and to purchase new parking as described above. Contact the Panthers Ticket Office at 800-643-7488 for more information.
Based on availability, single-game accessible parking may be available for purchase on game day. For more information, please call Alco Parking at 412-323-4455.
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. For more information on accessibility issues, please see the Acrisure Stadium Accessibility Guide online or at the Panthers Ticket Office.
