suggestion for Pittsburgh game?

Giants-Bama in CO : 9/28/2016 9:36 pm
I am planning to go to the Giants game at Pittsburgh on Dec 4.
Planning to arrive Saturday and leave Monday as it is a 4 PM game.

Any suggestion on where to stay? I guess somewhere in the middle of stadium and airport

Thanks!
I wouldn't stay in the middle of the stadium

because you can't run on Pittsburgh and the secondary will have heavy traffic most of the game.

You're welcome.

Get a hotel at the airport if you want to save some cash, but it'll cost you to get to the game for either transportation or parking.

Otherwise, stay downtown and you can walk to the game for more money.

the airport is further out and you'll either need a taxi, uber (maybe you'll get a self driving), or car rental, but it's also cheaper. The Omni is a decent place that isn't TOO expensive. Right downtown near a bunch of the typical Pittsburgh sights.

If you come and want, in my opinion, the best Americano restaurant in SWPA, definitely hit up Fatheads. If nothing else, their beer is phenomenal. May I suggest a Headhunters IPA? Or depending on your tastes, they may have their Holly Jolly spiced ale by then.

If you stay at the Omni and need a coffee, head over to Market Square and hit up Nicholas Coffee. Grab a pound of the Jamaican High Mountain beans for a killer cup at home.

I really need to find someone back here to go to the game with me...

Walking distance to the stadium. Nice hotel and near some great food places.
I'm going to a wedding in Pittsburgh

This weekend. We are all staying until Monday. The bride and groom are steeler fans so we are going to the Sunday night game against the chiefs (only reason I'm going is because we play Monday). I'm staying at the Wyndham downtown. I've actually stayed there a few times. It's great, you can just walk across the bridge to the stadium.
Going to the game as well

I had points to use my gf and I get there Saturday and leave Monday. We will probably cab it to the river and take a shuttle across.

I'm psyched to go. Anyone know if they display the SB trophies at the stadium?

I waited too long to get a hotel. I ended up in Cranberry.. OK enough place, but not in the city.
Hotel Indigo is a little far away from the stadiums but

There is a busway nearby to get downtown very quickly. Ive heard good things.

Ace Hotel and Hotel Monaco are two other options for newer hotels that are really nice and reasonably priced from what I've heard. Hotel Monaco is downtown.

Ton of great restaurant options across the city specifically downtown and in the neighborhoods of lawrenceville and the Strip District. If your looking for recommendations I can give some suggestions. I second Fat Heads if you're on the south side. Urban tap is another fun one over there.
