Hundreds of parking spaces are now available for NFL Draft fans to reserve, JustPark announced Thursday in partnership with ALCO Parking and other Pittsburgh operators.
Parking will cost an average of $87.25 per day for nearby lots during the three-day draft, according to JustPark, a platform that aggregates inventory from multiple local providers to give fans a range of options and prices.
As of Thursday, more than 800 additional spaces were available for the first day of the draft (April 23), more than 900 for the second day (April 24) and more than 1,000 for the third day — with more expected to be added, JustPark said.
“Fans shouldn’t have to choose between paying $200 to park or spending an hour searching for a space during one of the biggest sports weekends Pittsburgh has ever hosted,” said Merrill Stabile, president and CEO of ALCO Parking. “ALCO is working with JustPark to make it easy for fans and visitors to the draft to book in advance and simply pull up and park, with no surprises on the day.”
The spaces are able to be booked in advance — so attendees can pay and receive confirmation of their parking space ahead of time. JustPark’s full parking guide for the draft can be found here.
“JustPark already powers parking for more than half of professional sports teams in the United States,” said Charley DeBow, managing director for North America at JustPark. “Bringing that expertise to Pittsburgh for the NFL Draft means fans can arrive with the same confidence they would expect at any major league venue.”
ALCO is expected to add more spaces in the coming days, as it and JustPark are “actively pursuing additional inventory through existing city partnerships.” Park-and-ride options are also being explored, JustPark said, and will be listed on its site ahead of the draft.
Fans coming to the draft should “secure their space as early as possible,” according to JustPark.
“Available parking near the event footprint is narrowing quickly,” the announcement said.
