Your Draft Weekend Checklist

Download the NFL OnePass app and register (required for free entry)

Book your hotel if you haven't already (prices are only going up)

Pre-book parking on SpotHero if you're driving

Check the road closure map — several bridges and I-279 exits are closed

Charge your portable battery pack (you'll need it)

Check the weather forecast for Pittsburgh April 23-25

Screenshot or save the park-and-ride directions for your approach

Make dinner reservations if you want a sit-down meal (everywhere will be packed)

Clear bag (12x6x12 max for Acrisure Stadium, 16x16x6 for Point State Park) — buy one on Amazon for $8, don't pay $25 at the event

Portable phone charger — OnePass drains your battery fast, and 500K other people will be competing for cell signal

Comfortable walking shoes — you'll walk 5-10 miles per day between venues

Layers — April in Pittsburgh can be 45 or 75 degrees. Seriously. Pack for both.

Rain jacket or poncho — it's an outdoor event and April showers are real

Your phone with OnePass installed and your account set up

Sunscreen — if it's a clear day, you're outside for hours

Sunglasses and a hat

Water bottle (refill stations will be available)

Snacks — food lines will be long and $15 beers add up

Cash — some vendors and parking lots are cash-only

Your team's jersey or gear (this is a football event, rep your team)

Small umbrella that fits in your clear bag

Large bags, backpacks, or purses (won't pass security)

Coolers, outside food/drinks into the event areas

Chairs, blankets, tents

Drones

Weapons of any kind

Phone charged to 100%

Portable charger fully charged

OnePass app open and working

Clear bag packed with essentials

Check weather one more time — adjust layers

Eat a real meal before you go (food at the event is expensive and lines are long)

Know your parking/transit plan (don't wing it)

Screenshot your return transit route — cell signal will be weak with 200K people around you

Tell someone where you're going and when you expect to be back
