Any help to avoid Steeler's traffic Sunday, 10/25? (Pittsburgh, Monroe: parking, directions)

We will be visiting a friend in Monroeville on Sunday. Expect to be driving in from Columbus, Ohio and hitting Pittsburgh around noon. Any specific do's or don'ts concerning traffic would be appreciate. Thanks.

The only way you're going to avoid Steelers traffic at that time is to avoid the city. Take I-70 to I-76 West. See the directions below:

The game starts at 1 PM, all the drunks will be in the parking lot by noon. You shouldn't have any trouble. Or take the advice from the poster above me.

That sounds weird, but the time penalty of just 20 minutes (no traffic) means the way mentioned above would probably be faster at that time given the game traffic. True most people arriving to the game may already be in by then, but if you don't want to chance it, the longer way is better.

Thanks, gallacus, for adding the map. And I appreciate the additonal thoughts, Copanut & greg42.
