- Special pricing coincides with the 2026 NFL Draft event

Rivers Casino Pittsburgh is implementing high parking rates for later this month.
With the 2026 NFL Draft occurring in Pittsburgh from April 23-25, Rivers Casino is raising its parking fees for the weekend. Managed by Rush Street Gaming from Chicago, the casino is charging $500 for parking spaces, excluding taxes and fees.
This marks the first time since 1948 that the Steel City is hosting the NFL Draft, and substantial turnout is anticipated as fans flock to the North Shore.
The Draft will take place at Acrisure Stadium, the home turf for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as Point State Park. The casino, ideally situated nearby, boasts a nine-story parking garage with 3,800 spots, making it a prime choice for event-goers.
$550 Parking Option
According to information on the Rivers Casino Pittsburgh website, the $500 parking option is valid for four days, from Wednesday, April 22, to Saturday, April 25. Those who purchase a digital parking pass can enter and exit at their convenience throughout the 96-hour period.
Once taxes are factored in, the total cost for the four-day parking pass comes to $537, with an additional $16.11 processing fee, bringing the overall total to $553.11.
Rivers Casino asserts its four-day parking pass offers great value, as day-of parking will be priced at $250 per day, with limited access for a single entry and exit. It’s important to note that the $500 parking passes must be bought in advance online.
Once parked, guests can easily access the NFL Draft venue by taking a short walk to the stadium and Point State Park. The casino promotes its parking space as safe and user-friendly, proudly highlighting that the facility is “well-lit.” All transactions at Rivers Casino’s parking facilities are cashless.
“Take advantage of the convenience with our exclusive 4-day advance purchase self-parking option. Whether you attend the first-round excitement or final-day highlights, your space is secured,” states the casino’s website.
As the Draft approaches, the Steelers are gearing up to emphasize their offensive strategy. With QB Aaron Rodgers expected to make a comeback, the focus is on selecting a wide receiver, an offensive lineman, and an offensive tackle.
Pittsburgh holds the 21st overall pick for the first and second rounds, along with three selections in the third round.
Talent like Indiana superstar Fernando Mendoza, a Heisman Trophy winner, is projected to be the first pick, likely heading to the Las Vegas Raiders.
