I lucked out with the Hyatt. about 2 weeks ago, i decided to do this show.
I searched Priceline for minimum 3 stars hotels downtown-they have a map, it includes the Heinz area.
There's maybe 4 hotels it couldve chosen for name your own price.
You have to be very careful doing that option-know your area, and what hotels it brings up beforehand in a general search before committing.
and make sure you choose 3 stars.
anyway, I tried a ridiculously low number and it got rejected. I then tried $95 a night -and gave me the Hyatt on north shore?!
Could NOT believe it. Tried to add a 3rd night because I'm staying and other friends are coming in. Priceline said the 3rd night not at $95, but I got $180, and there's 4 of us.
so, maybe try it? couldn't believe my luck.-

Thanks for your reply but I'm only seeing the Hyatt at the Airport.
Can you let me know how you're searching for the Hyatt North Shore?
 
I clicked the option to "Search for hotels near:" choose landmark and enter Heinz Field.

Just ran the check again and it's not showing availability for two nights, just Monday night.
 
I'll be on Ocean City, MD on vacation the week of this show, so I'll be leaving early the night before to get to the stadium early to grab a spot in the line, then after all day in that and the show, I'll most likely be driving back down to OC. :huh:

It'll be a long day, but it'll damn well be worth it and I think a little nap in the car during the GA-hours might be warranted :wink:

I'll put on the costume again....but honestly...if you only knew the "pep" talk I gotta give myself each time.

At the U2 show...not so bad....

but try taking the Montreal Subway or asking direction after the show in Chicago with all that get up on.....

But yes. MirrorBall Man 2.0 will be there.... :)
 
Glad your coming to Pittsburgh. I met you and other fans at Celtic Crossings in Chicago, great picture of your license plate with Bono.

Where is the pre concert Party going to be?

I am at the Clarion also, looks like it's about four miles from the stadium.

I'll look for you :wave: Maybe we'll meet this time around.
 
We're at the Clarion too. Mark, we met briefly in the pit at Montreal 2 when you brought us water. :wave:

Anyone know a good place to park near the stadium that morning?
 
My question for Pittsburgh-area folks. I'm driving from Akron and hope to arrive around 6:30-ish day of show. Hoping to meet up with my niece & her husband who are driving in separately from Cleveland. Anyone have a suggestion of a place we could meet for dinner that's close to the venue? What about the Primanti Bros place... is it close? Can you make a reservation? Will there be a huge wait for a table? Anyone have any other suggestions where I could meet up with them for dinner that's close? Guessing there's plenty of parking in the general area.

Hi Beverly! Glad to hear you're coming for the show. There's a great place on the North Shore called Mullen's Bar & Grill (how appropriate). They have good Burghers and Sammiches. Here's their website. Not sure if they're taking reservations or have call ahead seating for that day. I'll be roasting in the pit by then...lol

There's lots of parking around the two stadiums. The Gold lots would be closest for GAer's. You can click on the download info sheet icon here to view and print an area map.

I e-mailed Alco Parking's Customer Service Dept. asking if overnight parking would be permitted in the lots surrounding Heinz Field. I explained what to expect with the GA queue.

This was the response I received this morning:

5 hrs before start of concert. There is no overnight parking. $35 cash only.

Also think about McFaddens, its maybe a little more pricey, but its also very close to the stadium
 
PS. Can't wait to meet everyone in GA this year, unfortunately we have one in our group who can't make it til later, hopefully theres some blue crack addicts next to us that let her slide in! :hmm::reject:
