Staying in Downtown Pittsburgh provides the easiest access to Acrisure Stadium via a short walk across the bridge or a free ride on the 'T' light rail. Avoid game-day traffic by using a downtown garage, as on-site lots are often pre-sold and cause heavy congestion. Another option is to park at Station Square and take the Gateway Clipper riverboat shuttle to the stadium.
