<< Back to Heinz Field Fun Facts
Heinz Field is located in a perfect riverside location right across from downtown Pittsburgh. Multiple transportation options allow fans to get to Steelers and Panthers games by car, bus, shuttle and even riverboat.
Hop on the Bus
The Port Authority shuttle is considered the most convenient and economical access to Heinz Field and offers a variety of special shuttle options for Steelers and Panther fans headed to Heinz field including suburban and downtown routes.
These routes all drop off and pick up passengers at the Heinz Field.
Downtown shuttle service to Heinz Field is available for both Steelers and Panthers games on the 98D Strip District and 98F Grant Street - First Avenue Station routes beginning two hours and 30 minutes prior to kickoff, with return trips running from during the 4th quarter until one hour after the completion of the game. South Hills residents can use the Port Authority T service into downtown and then connect to a game shuttle or take the 98B shuttle bus from South Hills Junction. For current fares and shuttle times see the 2009 Steeler Shuttle Schedule.

Station Square - Gateway Clipper Riverboat Shuttles
Station Square, a popular entertainment and retail area, also serves as a terrific option for Panther and Steelers fans on game day. Fans parking at the approximately 3,400 available parking spaces in the Station Square area can then board the Pittsburgh Steelers / Heinz Field Shuttle on a Gateway Clipper Fleet riverboat and take a short ride across the Monongahela and Ohio to the North Shore right at the stadium. Shuttles begin approximately 2 1/2 hours prior to kickoff and run every 5-30 minutes until the game starts. Return trips to Station Square begin in the third quarter and continue until after the game is over. Tickets are $10.00 roundtrip and $5 one way, and can be purchased at the dock on the day of the event. For Steelers home games only, shuttle service is also available from the Monongahela Wharf for the same rate. The Gateway Clipper Fleet also provides Pittsburgh Panthers shuttle service from their Station Square Dock for all University of Pittsburgh Panthers Home Games at Heinz Field.
Driving to the game?
