Getting there

Transport

  • Bus

    Coach USA / NJ Transit 351 runs from Port Authority in Midtown Manhattan.

  • Subway (NYC)

    Get to Penn Station or Port Authority first, then transfer to NJ Transit — don't try to rideshare from Manhattan on match day.

Know before you go

Local tips

  • 01Build in extra time — the Meadowlands rail spur gets very crowded after the whistle.
  • 02Eat in the boroughs: a slice in Brooklyn or dumplings in Flushing beat stadium food.
  • 03Summer is hot and humid; hydrate and use the subway, which is air-conditioned.
