I think my group is 12. AirBnb was cheap as heck a block from the stadium. Glad the 110 is coming, there should be a lot of Bobcats there.

I'm in +1. Flying back home for this one. I lived <2 miles from Heinz Field for the past 7 years, so I have plenty of local recommendations if anyone needs them.

Arrived in Pittsburgh. Wonderful hotel room overlooking the remains of Ft. Pitt and the convergence of the Allegheny and the Monongahela rivers to form the mighty Ohio. A walking bridge over the Allegheny will take us right to Heinz field tomorrow morning. Looking for to a great football game. We've already seen several Ohio fans walking the streets near here. Going out with the wife for dinner in a few minutes. Go OHIO!

Regarding Parking.: apparently almost all lots along North Shore for Pitt games are prepaid/donor lots (like blue/green/orange lots at OU). There is one garage available for game day parking just a couple doors towards stadium from Residence Inn for $20.

Our hotel check in guy said the “parking hack” is that the Casino parking is free up until 9am (2 hours before game time) and $7 if arriving within 2 hours of kickoff.
