Getting out
- Ride the T. Pitt points fans to Pittsburgh Regional Transit's light rail and shuttle buses.
- Take the riverboat. Gateway Clipper runs game-day riverboat rides across the river.
- Pack up slow. You have up to 1 hour after the game to clear the lot.
Skip this: Gun it for the bridge at the final whistle. You and the rest of the North Shore.
