Quick answer
Gateway Clipper runs a riverboat shuttle from the Station Square dock to the North Shore for Steelers home games. It starts 3 hours before kickoff and costs $8 one way or $15 round trip (kids 6 and under ride free); tickets are sold only at the Ticket Office on the Station Square Dock.
Football is back in Pittsburgh! The Steelers opened their 2026 preseason on August 13, and the Gateway Clipper was ready to help fans get to Acrisure Stadium without the traffic and parking headaches. The same ride runs for every Steelers home game.
Skip the traffic. Take the river.
Departing from Station Square, the Gateway Clipper game day shuttle carries fans across the river straight to the North Shore, a short walk from Acrisure Stadium. Park at Station Square, head to the dock, and let us handle the trip. You get a one-of-a-kind view of the skyline and the three rivers on the way, and you arrive ready for kickoff.
Whether you're a lifelong member of Steelers Nation or visiting Pittsburgh for the game, it's one of the most Pittsburgh ways to get to the stadium.

- Boarding starts: 3 hours before kickoff
- Return trips: from the start of the 4th quarter until 1 hour after the game
