Parking for the game

[Polamalu4president]

anyone have good parking options that allow tailgating? I don't have a parking pass.

It depends on what time you plan on getting to the game. Anytime before 10AM you can get a parking spot on the street by Allegheny Community College around the park area. Also, the Rivers casino is next to the field and they have a huge parking lot that is usually free, but during Steelers games I think they charge you something. If you have a players card from the casino, I was told they waive the fee. You can also park in downtown Pittsburgh parking garages. It is a little bit of a walk to and from the game. There are always scalpers selling parking passes to so if you ride around you may be able to purchase one at a premium.

Only day of ALCO options:

Blue 7G - only allows 20 day-of without a pass.. unless you get there over an hour before it opens.. you aren't gonna be in that lot $35

Blue 7J - allows 90 day-of without a pass.... get there a little early, or certainly not much later than when it opens and you will probably get a spot in there $35

Blue Canal Lot - lots of spots available without a pass.. $30

All allow tailgating.. bule 7G and 7J are under the overpass, which is nice becuase if it rains you aren't getting wet.

All the closer lots are all pre-sold with passes....

I don't know anything about any of the non-alco lots, like the Science Center.

here is a map:

The information sheet says 7G and 7J are pre-sold, but I know personally that they allow 20 and 90 respectively.
