Where to Park - Parking Options
<< Back to Heinz Field Directions/TransportationBecause most of the 6,187 parking spaces in the Heinz Field lots on the North Shore are reserved and pre-sold before the season, fans without a reserved space should utilize the approximately 10,000 parking spaces downtown and in the Strip District and 3,400 spots at Station Square. Additionally, Port Authority buses run from the park n' ride lots throughout the city to Heinz Field prior to the game. Fans utilizing the downtown Pittsburgh lots can access Heinz Field by walking across the Roberto Clemente Bridge, which is closed to vehicular traffic on game days, and taking the adjoining riverwalk directly to the stadium. The Gateway Clipper also operates riverboat shuttles for fans who park at Station Square.
