Visitor & Driver Tips

On Steelers home games, major concerts, and high-attendance Pirates games, the Red 5 Garage often switches to event-rate prepaid parking or flat-rate drive-up pricing. It is strongly recommended to pre-book a parking pass via official parking portals to guarantee garage entry. For sellout games, plan to arrive at least 60 to 90 minutes before kickoff to avoid bottleneck congestion along General Robinson Street and the Fort Duquesne Bridge approaches.
