Really, there is no other way to phrase it. Pitt, Heinz Field and its subcontracted parking lots managed evil entity ALCO aren’t opening the lots until 2:45 pm. Of course, there is the issue of College Game Day doing its live show in the morning on the Great Lawn, between North Shore Drive and the River Walk. Generally there are a ton of fans in the background to back the home team. Naturally, Pitt wants this and is offering the students free shuttles down from campus at 9 am with a return at 12:30 pm. If you drive, or have a parking pass, they’ll let you park free nearby. But they won’t let you stay or go into your own lot afterwards. Leaving these people with 2 plus hours to kill. Brilliant.
