MetLife Stadium

Driving & Parking

• Driving
  It is accessible from the New Jersey Turnpike and Route 3. Traffic is heavy before and after NFL games, so drivers should plan for delays starting four hours before kickoff. From New York City take the Lincoln Tunnel to Route 3 West, which leads directly to the stadium. Alternatively, take the George Washington Bridge to the New Jersey Turnpike South. From Philadelphia and points south take the New Jersey Turnpike North to Exit 16W. This exit provides direct access to the sports complex lots.
• Parking
  Significant parking surrounds the stadium with over 25,000 spaces across 14 lots. The inner ring of lots (E, F, G, and S) are Premium Platinum lots reserved for suite and club ticket holders. The outer Gold lots are for general fans though parking must be pre-purchased through the team. Tailgating is prohibited in the parking garages to the east of the stadium.
  
  For tailgaters looking to stock up beforehand, ShopRite of Lyndhurst is a solid option nearby, and Wine Outlet in Secaucus is the closest liquor store to the stadium. METRO WINE & LIQUORS is another option for those coming from West of the stadium. Mason's Cellar is a great option for those looking for higher end wine and beer.
