What is the Panther Club?
The Panther Club is the official fundraising arm for the University of Pittsburgh Athletics Department. Our mission is to provide critical resources for scholarships, capital projects and 19 individual sport needs. Our goal is to create the very best experience for current and future Pitt student-athletes and champions. More information can be found at the Panther Club website:
HailToPitt.com.
Why are we reparking on the North Shore?
Due to the ongoing development on the North Shore and the addition/removal of parking lots/spaces each year, we want to ensure our Panther Club donors and season ticket holders are receiving the opportunity to park in a desirable location, subject to availability.
What do I need to do in order to pick my lot and/or garage with a group of friends?
There is not an option to average your points with a group. We encourage all Pitt fans who wish to park in the same lot/garage to communicate with each other prior to your time slot so you can try to choose the same lot/garage (subject to availability). Fans who wish to park in the same lot/garage with other season ticket holders can wait until everyone in their group has an open time slot and choose the best available lot/garage at that time. Alco Parking reserves the right to direct patrons to parking spaces in each lot/garage as they enter.
Can I increase the number of parking passes I previously purchased for the 2022 Pitt football season? If so, what is the timing to do this?
Yes. Â Please refer to the question below on the number of parking passes you may purchase based on the quantity of football season tickets in your account for the 2023 season.Â
What is the maximum number of surface spaces I can purchase?
One pass may be purchased for every two (2) Pitt football season tickets for the 2023 season; maximum of four (4) surface spaces. For those individuals purchasing a single season ticket, should you be eligible, you will have the opportunity to purchase one (1) space in a surface lot. Parking passes above the maximum will be allocated into the best available parking garage. Handicap parking in a surface lot does not count towards the above restrictions but is limited to one (1) in a surface lot at the discounted membership rate.
I was assigned accessible parking last year. Do I need to submit a handicap placard again this year?
Yes. Season ticket holders in need of accessible parking on a season basis are required to provide proof of need annually for accessible parking (for example, a copy of a state issued placard). Please contact the Panthers Ticket Office at 800-643-PITT regarding accessible parking. Accessible parking in a surface lot does not count towards the above restrictions but is limited to one (1) in a surface lot at the discounted membership rate.
Can I transfer my season parking pass from my account to a friend?
The account holder of Season Parking passes cannot transfer their ability to select parking from their account to another prior to the repark. Once individual pass holders select their parking option and choose their pass(es) for the upcoming season, they may continue to utilize Pitt Athletics’ mobile ticket and parking platform to transfer individual parking passes throughout the season.Â
When will the next repark for football be?
We currently expect to repark for football every three to five years. Pitt Athletics will make a reasonable effort to announce its plan well in advance notice. Pitt Athletics reserves to right to adjust the repark schedule. While spaces may be renewable each year, we cannot guarantee the same lot/garage each year due, among other things
, to ongoing development on the North Shore and potential loss of spaces and/or lots each year.
What is the deadline for making a Panther Club payment to affect my ranking in the repark process?
March 1, 2023
How can I make a payment to the Panther Club?
Panther Club contributions can be made by calling 412-648-8889 or visiting
pittsburghpanthers.com/donate.
When will the repark selection process begin?
April 11, 2023
Can I keep the same parking lot I had last season?
We cannot guarantee that your same lot will be available. All accounts who purchased football season tickets and season parking will be included in this repark selection process. Season Ticket Holders will select parking based on their Panther Club Priority Point Rank order as of March 1, 2023.
Will matching gifts count towards my seat selection priority points?
Matching gifts will factor into your overall priority point total ahead of the repark and the matching funds will earn the same amount of points as a donation of that amount would accrue. However, due to the tax law change in 2017, Scholarship Seating & Parking membership payments are not eligible to be matched, and there is not a matching gift opportunity for any donation associated with season tickets or parking.Â
What if I miss my appointment time?
The assigned reparking window reflects the earliest time a customer may log-in to select their lot. Those who miss their scheduled appointment time may log-in to select a lot/garage at any time after their appointment time has started. However, the longer you delay your parking selection the more inventory that could be taken by others during that time window. The parking selection process will end once all account holders have successfully allocated parking to their account.Â
Is there an option to select my parking if I do not own a computer?
Many libraries have free computer access and family members or friends can also assist with the process. The Athletics Ticket Office will also provide assistance during the selection process.
If I am eligible, and subject to availability, will I be able to choose multiple parking lots (i.e. Surface Space and Garage Spaces) during my appointment?
Yes. The technology used for the repark will allow customers to purchase parking in both surface and garages during your appointment.
I already pay a Scholarship Membership fee with my season tickets. Â Do I need to pay another Scholarship Membership fee with my parking pass?
Yes, fans are responsible for paying the Scholarship Parking Membership fee associated with their surface or garage spaces.
What allocation do I have to contribute to in order to be awarded bonus points?
The Student-Athlete Success Fund is the only allocation that will award donations bonus points between December 1 through December 31.
