If you've driven Route 3 toward the Meadowlands Sports Complex on a Giants Sunday, you already know how this goes. Eight and a half miles from Downtown Jersey City — that's the whole distance between Exchange Place and MetLife Stadium (1 MetLife Stadium Drive, East Rutherford, NJ 07073). Twelve minutes on a Wednesday afternoon.
Forty-five minutes on an NFL Sunday, with Route 3 packed four lanes wide in both directions and NJ-120 backed up to the interchange. Then the game ends, 82,500 fans hit the exits in the same twenty-minute window, and Lot E fills with people watching their Uber estimates tick upward — the stadium's own transportation page warns wait times at the rideshare pickup zone can exceed two hours for sellout events. Renting a charter bus or party bus to MetLife Stadium doesn't shorten Route 3.
It just removes you from the problem entirely.
This guide covers everything a group planner needs to know before game day: where charter buses park and drop off (Lot L, confirmed on the stadium's official NFL parking page), what the drop-off curb between Lots D and E means for your itinerary, what NFL parking permits cost per car, New Jersey's grill rules for tailgating, the fall 2026 concert calendar stacking Route 3 every weekend from August through September, and the realistic drive time math from Hudson County. For the broader picture on Jersey City sporting event group transportation, the sporting event party bus page has more.
Why Rent a Party Bus or Charter Bus to MetLife Stadium?
Coordinating a group to MetLife Stadium without a bus means solving three separate problems before anyone reaches the gate: getting everyone to the parking lot, securing a permit that wasn't already sold out, and figuring out how the group gets home when the game ends and Lot E becomes a parking lot full of people staring at surge pricing. A charter bus or party bus rental from Jersey City collapses all three into one arrangement.
Your group boards together from one location. The game-day energy builds on the ride over. The bus parks in Lot L — the stadium's designated charter bus lot — and it's ready for your post-game pickup while the Lot E queue stretches into the night.
Nobody draws straws for who drives, nobody misses kickoff because they couldn't find parking, and the return trip is handled before anyone walks in. That's the whole argument. For the rest of this guide, the specifics make the case.
Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at MetLife Stadium
Charter buses park in Lot L, per the stadium's official NFL parking page. Lot L is a Gold-permit lot on the West side of the MetLife Sports Complex — your group unloads there, tailgates from the bus's staging area, and the bus waits in the same lot for your post-game pickup without anyone relocating to a remote satellite. No transfer shuttles, no additional legs to coordinate.
The general drop-off curb for taxis, limos, and rideshares is located between Lots D and E along the roadway — free to access for drop-off and pick-up, per the general event parking page. Rideshare pickup after events is in Lot E, which is where the stadium's own language gets specific: surge pricing is typical after events, and wait times can exceed two hours on sellouts. A 56-seat charter bus in Lot L is the structural alternative — the bus is already there when your group walks out, not summoned from five miles away by 80,000 simultaneous app requests.
Charter buses park in Lot L — the stadium says so on its own NFL parking page. Rideshare pickup is in Lot E, where two-hour post-game waits are documented by the stadium itself. One bus keeps your whole group together from curb to lot and back, with no app, no surge, and no two-hour wait on the other side.
Post-Game Exit from MetLife Stadium: What Actually Happens
MetLife Stadium holds 82,500 people — nearly every sellout game in the NFL. After the final whistle, that entire crowd exits inside roughly the same twenty-minute window. Route 3 and NJ-120 absorb enormous traffic simultaneously, with no meaningful alternate routes for groups coming from Hudson County.
Lot E fills with rideshare requests; the app estimates climb. Anyone who drove in now faces a crawl through the lot that can add 30–60 minutes before they even reach the highway.
The bus solves the exit problem in advance. Before anyone walks into the stadium, you set a post-game pickup window and agree on a meeting point. The bus is staged in Lot L. When the group walks out, it boards — no hunting for a car, no waiting in a surge queue, no three-text chain trying to find everyone.
The post-game traffic still exists; you're just on the bus moving through it instead of standing in a parking lot producing it. Plan a 60-to-90 minute post-whistle buffer for the bus to clear Lot L's immediate exit and get back onto the NJ Turnpike toward Jersey City.
MetLife Stadium Parking: Every Option Side by Side
A fair comparison, honestly laid out. Here's how every major group transportation option stacks up for 20 or more people heading to a sold-out MetLife event.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrive together? | Drop-off / parking | Post-game pickup | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Charter bus / party bus rental | One flat rate, split by the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Lot L (Gold lot), West side | Bus staged in Lot L — no wait, pre-arranged | 15–56 passengers |
| NJ Transit Meadowlands Rail | Per ticket from Secaucus Junction | Only if everyone catches the same train | Meadowlands Station, steps from stadium's front door | Good — trains fill fast post-game | 1–4 people, tight budget |
| Coach USA 351 Meadowlands Express | $7 one-way / $14 round-trip from Port Authority | Only if booked on same departure | Lot K, near Quest Diagnostics Performance Center (MetLife Gate) | Runs ~1 hour post-game — last bus leaves early | Manhattan commuters without cars |
| Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) | Per car each way + post-game surge | No — multiple cars, staggered ETAs | Between Lots D & E (curb drop) | Lot E — stadium warns 2+ hour waits on sellouts | 1–4 per car, very small groups |
| Drive & park on-site | $30–$160 per car, permit required in advance | No — carpools scatter across different lots | Varies by Gold vs. Platinum permit | 30–60 min lot exit before reaching the highway | 1–2 cars, early buyers |
| Off-site lot (20 Murray Hill Pkwy) | $65/car, shuttle to Lot G | No — drive to lot, then shuttle | Shuttled to Lot G on the Complex | Wait for shuttle, then drive home | Walk-up fallback when on-site sells out |
For one or two people with flexible timing, the Meadowlands Rail from Secaucus Junction drops you at the stadium's front door in about ten minutes from the platform — the fastest option in the corridor for a solo traveler or a couple. The moment your group grows past a few cars' worth of people, the coordination overhead tips the math. A 56-seat charter bus replaces roughly 14 cars, 14 pre-purchased parking permits at anywhere from $30 to $160 each, and 14 separate post-game exits through the same bottlenecked roads.
One permit in Lot L, one pickup, one group.
NJ Transit Meadowlands Rail and the Coach USA 351 Meadowlands Express
NJ Transit Meadowlands Rail. For events with anticipated attendance above 50,000, NJ Transit operates shuttle train service from Secaucus Junction directly to Meadowlands Rail Station — the station sits steps from MetLife Stadium's front entrance, per the stadium's official public transportation page. The shuttle takes about ten minutes from the Secaucus platform, and seven different NJ Transit lines connect at Secaucus Junction: the Main/Bergen County, Montclair-Boonton, Morris & Essex, Northeast Corridor, North Jersey Coast, Pascack Valley, and Port Jervis lines.
From Penn Station in Manhattan, the total trip runs about 25–35 minutes. Check the NJ Transit Meadowlands page for event-specific schedules and ticket information before your visit. For a group of 30 from Jersey City, the practical challenge is keeping everyone on the same inbound and outbound train — post-game trains fill fast, and a large group has limited control over boarding together.
Coach USA 351 Meadowlands Express. This bus runs from Port Authority Bus Terminal (42nd Street and 8th Avenue, Manhattan) to Lot K near the Quest Diagnostics Performance Center for NFL games and large events. Service begins 2.5 hours before game time and continues until about 30 minutes after kickoff; post-game service runs for approximately one hour following the conclusion of the event.
Round-trip fare is $14; one-way is $7. It's a solid option for two people commuting from Midtown. For a fan group originating in Jersey City, the detour into Manhattan adds travel time and the one-hour post-game service window means everyone needs to leave before the final play to guarantee a seat back.
What Size Bus Does Your MetLife Stadium Group Need?
Group sizes at MetLife range from a work outing of 20 to a fan group of 55 — and the right vehicle changes with the headcount. Jerseycitypartybuscompany.com connects you to options from a large network of bus companies serving Jersey City, so you match the bus to the actual group instead of overpaying for seats nobody uses. Here's how the vehicle lineup breaks down for a Meadowlands run.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Tailgate gear capacity | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van | Up to ~14 | Modest — bags, a small cooler | Suite holders, VIP groups, executive groups | Premium leather, USB charging at every seat, tinted privacy windows |
| Party bus (25–50 passengers) | ~15–50 | Onboard, lighter load | Fan groups who want the rolling pregame experience | Color-changing LED lighting, Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs, bar area |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | ~15–35 | Overhead bins plus some underfloor space | Mid-size groups, corporate outings, wedding guests | Reclining seats, strong A/C, easier navigation in tight stadium lots |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Deep undercarriage bays — propane tanks, folding tables, chairs, coolers | Large fan groups, corporate buyouts, school trips | Reclining seats, climate control, overhead storage, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms |
For fan groups who want the pregame built into the ride, a 25-passenger party bus or larger typically comes with LED lighting, a Bluetooth sound system, and a bar area — the game-day mood is already running by the time the Lincoln Tunnel is in the rearview. For larger outings or groups hauling serious tailgate gear, a full-size charter bus carries propane tanks, folding tables, and a full cooler spread in its undercarriage bays, freeing everyone inside from playing Tetris with game-day equipment. The charter bus also has onboard restrooms — useful on the return trip when Route 3 is at a standstill.
ADA-accessible vehicles are available through the network; flag it in your quote request at least 48 hours before your event. MetLife Stadium has accessible parking in Lots E, F, and G with valid credentials — contact stadium guest services for venue-side questions.
Party Bus & Charter Bus Rental Prices for MetLife Stadium Trips
Jerseycitypartybuscompany.com gets you pricing from a large network of bus companies serving Jersey City — online in under 30 seconds, with no account required. There's no fixed sticker price, because a quote moves with vehicle size, total hours (tailgate time plus the post-game staging window), the specific event and date, and your pickup location in Hudson County. A Thursday night Jets preseason game prices differently than a sold-out Sunday divisional matchup or a four-night Bruno Mars run in August.
To give you an idea of planning ranges: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $200–$325/hour on weekdays or $225–$350/hour on weekends; 15–35 passenger minibuses run $200–$250/hour weekday; 25-passenger party buses run $275–$375/hour on weekends; and 40–56 passenger charter buses run $200–$350/hour or $1,350–$2,850/day. Actual pricing shifts with hours, date, and vehicle — get a quote for your specific trip in about a minute online or by calling 551-387-3960. The Jersey City party bus prices page has the full breakdown by vehicle.
A Game-Day Example
To give you an idea: a 40-person Giants fan group from Newport in Jersey City books a 40-passenger party bus for a Sunday home game. Pickup at 11:00 AM from the Newport PATH station area, at Lot L by 12:15 PM — two and a half hours before kickoff. The undercarriage compartments hold a propane grill, four folding chairs, and two coolers.
The group tailgates through 2:30 PM, walks to the gate, and the bus is staged for a 5:45 PM post-game pickup. A six-hour weekend rental at that size might run around $2,400 — roughly $60 per person. For comparison: 10 cars at $80 in Gold parking each adds up to $800 just for the permits, before gas and the toll into Jersey, and at least one person per car who can't take part in the pregame.
One 40-seat bus replaces roughly 10 cars — 10 pre-purchased parking permits, 10 separate exits through the same Route 3 bottleneck, and at least 10 people in the group who have to stay sober to drive home. Split the bus cost across 40 fans, and the per-person number tends to come out ahead once parking and tolls enter the car-carpool math.
Jersey City to MetLife Stadium: Route, Drive Time, and What Route 3 Does on Game Days
The distance from Jersey City to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford is about 8.3 miles. The standard route takes the NJ Turnpike north to Exit 16W, then Route 3 West to NJ-120, following the Sports Complex signage from there. Off-peak on a Tuesday, the drive is 12–15 minutes.
On an NFL Sunday with a 1 p.m. kickoff, build in 30–45 minutes for inbound traffic — and count on 45–90 minutes for the post-game exit from the lot back to the highway.
Route 3 is the only real approach from Hudson County, and there's no effective bypass when it backs up. Every car from the Lincoln Tunnel, every car from Jersey City and Hoboken, and every car coming down from Bergen and Passaic Counties funnels through the same stretch in the same two-hour window before kickoff. The NJ DOT publicly acknowledged a Route 3 planning failure during the Taylor Swift Eras Tour nights at MetLife, which generated multi-mile backups that surprised the state's own traffic managers.
That was one multi-night concert run. The fall 2026 calendar has more than a dozen stadium-scale concert nights stacking the same corridor between August and September, on top of the entire NFL regular season.
On a charter bus, that approach is handled for you. The route adjusts around event-day closures and any lane shifts on Route 3. The tailgate window is factored into the hours booked.
And the post-game pickup is pre-arranged, so the group isn't on a curb trying to figure out a ride — it's on the bus, in traffic, moving home while the exit crawl plays out around it.
Charter Bus Rentals for Giants & Jets Games at MetLife Stadium
Both the New York Giants and New York Jets call MetLife Stadium home, which means NFL home game days run from preseason in August through January — and in years where both teams are competitive, home games can stack multiple sellout weekends in a row. The matchups that routinely sell out and push Route 3 to its limits: Giants-Cowboys, Giants-Eagles, Jets-Patriots, and primetime Sunday Night or Monday Night Football dates when the national broadcast puts the full crowd in the seats.
On NFL game days, parking permits are required for all vehicles entering the MetLife Sports Complex — there's no showing up at the gate with cash, per the official NFL parking page. Permits are purchased in advance through Ticketmaster's NFL Ticket Exchange. Two tiers: Gold permits access Lots B, D, J, K, L, M, P, Deck A, and lots near the American Dream complex; Platinum permits access Lots E, F, and G, which sit closer to the main gates.
General pricing runs $30–$160 per car depending on permit tier and demand for that specific game. On rivalry dates and primetime games, the best Gold lots sell out well before game day. Fans without a pre-purchased permit can use the off-site walk-up lot at 20 Murray Hill Parkway, East Rutherford for $65, with a shuttle to Lot G — but that shuttle adds one more variable between your group and the stadium, and the walk-up lot closes when it's full.
A charter bus in Lot L bypasses all of it: one Gold-lot staging area, one arrival, one departure. The complex offers approximately 27,500 total parking spaces across its east and west sides, and the lots open five hours before kickoff — arriving early matters, especially on days when both the stadium's lots and the road approaches get congested simultaneously.
Tailgating at MetLife Stadium: What the Rules Actually Say
Tailgating is permitted in MetLife Stadium's parking lots for Giants and Jets games — but New Jersey-specific rules catch out-of-state groups every season. Straight from the official MetLife Stadium tailgating page:
- One space, one setup. Tailgating is limited to the marked parking stall and the area directly in front of or behind your vehicle. Adjacent spaces can't be used for overflow grills, tents, or chairs — attendants enforce this. One vehicle, one space, full stop.
- Propane, natural gas, and electric grills only — no charcoal. This surprises groups from out of state every season. Charcoal and open wood fires are not permitted in the MetLife lots. If your setup runs on charcoal, leave it home; you'll be turned away at the lot entrance. Gas and electric grills are fine.
- Tents max 8' × 8'. Canopies or tents larger than 8 feet by 8 feet are not allowed in lined parking spaces. Oversized tailgate trailers and any vehicle over 18 feet in length or 8 feet in width get directed to curb areas rather than striped stalls.
- Sound capped at 65 decibels. A New Jersey ordinance limits amplified sound in the lots to 65 dB, with speakers aimed toward your own vehicle. No DJ setups, no concert-volume speaker towers.
- Hot coals in the orange bins. Orange hot-coal disposal bins are placed throughout the lots. Dumping coals in open spaces, under vehicles, or adjacent to other tailgates is prohibited and results in ejection from the complex.
- Lots open five hours before kickoff. Gold and Platinum permit areas open at the same time. The closer inner lots — E, F, G — fill first on rivalry days; if your permit is for an outer lot, arriving early still helps with walk distance to the gates.
For a charter bus group hauling serious tailgate gear, the full-size coach's undercarriage bays are the solution: propane tanks, the folding table, four camp chairs, two coolers — it all loads into the bays in Jersey City and unloads at Lot L. The gear travels with the group instead of requiring a separate car, and nobody has to double-park a Subaru across two tailgate spots to fit the setup.
One note for future events: World Cup 2026 — which concluded with the final at MetLife Stadium on July 19 — banned all tailgating and all private vehicle parking during match days. FIFA's event operations model repurposed the entire lot footprint, with no personal setups permitted. For any future events of comparable scale at MetLife Stadium, verify current policies at the official parking and tailgating page before assuming NFL-season rules apply.
Charter Bus Rental to MetLife Stadium Concerts: Route 3 and the Fall 2026 Calendar
The fall 2026 concert schedule at MetLife Stadium is as packed as any in the northeast. BTS brings its World Tour 'Arirang' to East Rutherford on August 1–2; Usher and Chris Brown headline The R&B Tour on August 7–8; Guns N’ Roses follows August 12; Bruno Mars runs four nights — August 21–22 and 25–26 — for The Romantic Tour; Ed Sheeran brings the LOOP Tour for two consecutive nights September 4–5; BIGBANG plays September 11; KAROL G runs September 17–18; and AC/DC closes the stadium's summer-fall run September 25. That's more than fifteen sellout nights on the same Route 3 approach corridor in eight weeks, stacking directly on top of the Giants and Jets home schedules.
The concert problem from Jersey City looks like this: the show ends after 11 p.m., Route 3 is gridlocked in every direction, and Uber and Lyft pricing surges the moment 82,000 people begin requesting rides at the same second. A Jersey City concert party bus rental removes all three pressure points. Your group departs Jersey City together, the bus handles Route 3 both directions, and the post-show pickup is set before the first song plays — no app, no surge, no standing in Lot E at midnight watching the estimated wait climb.
For multi-night runs — the Bruno Mars four-night stretch, for example — book as soon as your date is confirmed. The right-sized vehicles move quickly when NFL home games and concert runs collide in the same weekend, which happens repeatedly through September. The earlier you lock in, the better the options.
Tips for Visiting MetLife Stadium
- Buy your parking permit before game day — no exceptions on NFL events. On NFL game days, no permits are sold at the lot entrance. The walk-up option is the off-site lot at 20 Murray Hill Parkway in East Rutherford ($65, shuttle to Lot G), and it sells out on rivalry days. A charter bus parks in Lot L without individual fans needing to purchase permits at all.
- MetLife Stadium is cashless. Only card payments and mobile wallets are accepted at concession stands, parking booths, and merchandise locations. There are no ATMs inside the stadium. Set up your payment method before the Lincoln Tunnel.
- Mobile tickets only — printed tickets are not accepted. Download the Ticketmaster app and load your tickets before you're in the stadium complex with unreliable cell coverage. The app is the ticket; the screenshot of the app is not.
- The bag policy is strict. Per the official clear bag policy page, each guest may bring one clear bag no larger than 12" × 6" × 12" (or a one-gallon clear Ziploc), plus one small clutch no larger than 4.5" × 6.5". Backpacks, camera bags, and non-clear bags are turned away. Bag check is available at designated gates — free on NFL days, $5 on non-NFL event days.
- No re-entry once you exit the stadium bowl. If someone in your group steps out at halftime, they're done for the day. Make sure everyone knows before the first quarter ends.
- No charcoal in the tailgate lots. Only propane, natural gas, or electric grills are permitted. This is the rule that catches the most first-time visitors, and lot staff enforce it at the gate.
- Save the stadium's main contact. MetLife Stadium runs a guest services line for day-of questions. If anyone in your group gets separated or needs assistance, that's the number. The full address is 1 MetLife Stadium Drive, East Rutherford, NJ 07073.
- Check the parking map before your event. MetLife Stadium publishes event-specific routing and lot information. We recommend reviewing the official parking and tailgating page before any trip — lot assignments and approach roads can shift between events.
Frequently Asked Questions About Getting a Bus to MetLife Stadium
Where does a charter bus drop off and park at MetLife Stadium?
Charter buses park in Lot L, per the official NFL parking page — a Gold-tier lot on the West side of the MetLife Sports Complex. The general drop-off curb for taxis, limos, and rideshares is between Lots D and E along the roadway, accessible at no charge for drop-off. Rideshare pickup after events goes to Lot E, where the stadium warns surge pricing and wait times exceeding two hours are common on sellouts.
A charter bus staged in Lot L is already there when your group walks out.
How far is MetLife Stadium from Jersey City, and how long does the drive take?
About 8.3 miles, via the NJ Turnpike north to Exit 16W and then Route 3 West to NJ-120. Off-peak, 12–15 minutes. On NFL Sundays and sold-out concert nights, plan for 30–45 minutes inbound and 45–90 minutes post-event to clear the lot and get back to the highway.
Route 3 is the only practical approach from Hudson County, and it gets heavily congested when the stadium's 82,500-seat capacity fills.
Do I need a parking permit for a charter bus at MetLife Stadium?
On NFL game days, all vehicles require permits purchased in advance — the lot entrances do not sell permits on site. Charter buses in Lot L fall under the Gold permit category. When you arrange your trip through Jerseycitypartybuscompany.com's network, your transportation provider confirms the correct lot assignment and approach for your event and vehicle type.
The off-site walk-up lot at 20 Murray Hill Parkway ($65, shuttle to Lot G) is the only day-of option, and it sells out on high-demand games.
What's the best route from Jersey City to MetLife Stadium on a game day?
NJ Turnpike north to Exit 16W, then Route 3 West to NJ-120 and the Sports Complex entrance. There's no effective alternate route when Route 3 backs up — every vehicle from Hudson County uses the same corridor. Arriving early helps: lots open five hours before kickoff, and the first hour in is significantly less congested than the hour before game time.
The stadium recommends checking event-specific road closure advisories before major events, and the official MetLife parking page publishes current guidance.
Can a group tailgate at MetLife Stadium when arriving by charter bus?
Yes, for NFL games and most standard events. The rules: propane, natural gas, or electric grills only — no charcoal under the stadium's lot policy; tents or canopies max 8' × 8'; one parking space per vehicle with no saving adjacent spots; sound systems capped at 65 decibels. A full-size charter bus's undercarriage bays carry the gear — propane tank, folding table, coolers — from Jersey City to Lot L in one run instead of splitting the setup across multiple trunks.
For special or marquee events, tailgating policies can change significantly; verify with the official tailgating page before your date.
How much does NFL parking cost at MetLife Stadium per car?
On-site NFL parking runs roughly $30–$160 per car depending on permit tier (Gold vs. Platinum) and game demand. Permits are sold in advance through Ticketmaster's NFL Ticket Exchange — no day-of sales at the lot gates. On rivalry games and primetime dates, the better Gold lots sell out well before game day.
The off-site walk-up lot at 20 Murray Hill Parkway is $65 with a shuttle. Full permit options and current lot maps are on the official NFL parking page.
Is there public transit from Jersey City to MetLife Stadium?
Yes. The most direct connection goes from Jersey City via PATH to Hoboken Terminal or Newark Penn Station, then NJ Transit rail to Secaucus Junction, where the Meadowlands Rail shuttle takes about ten minutes to Meadowlands Station at the stadium's front door. Seven NJ Transit lines converge at Secaucus Junction, making it accessible from most of the region.
The NJ Transit Meadowlands page has event-specific schedules. For a group of 25 or more, the transit option works well for getting there; coordinating the same post-game train departure for the entire group is the practical challenge.
How much does it cost to rent a party bus or charter bus to MetLife Stadium from Jersey City?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours, the specific event, and your Jersey City pickup location. To give you a planning range: 14-passenger Sprinter limos run $200–$325/hour weekday; 15–35 passenger minibuses run $200–$250/hour weekday; 25-passenger party buses run $275–$375/hour on weekends; 40–56 passenger charter buses run $200–$350/hour or $1,350–$2,850/day. A quote for your date and group is about a minute away — call 551-387-3960 or use the online form.
When should I book a bus for a Giants or Jets game?
For most regular-season games, two to four weeks of lead time is workable. For rivalry games (Giants-Cowboys, Jets-Patriots) and any of the fall concert dates — particularly the multi-night runs like Bruno Mars or the BTS World Tour — book as soon as your date is confirmed. The same vehicle supply covers NFL games, concerts, and everything else running on the Route 3 corridor that weekend, and demand can stack across multiple events in the same week.
Earlier is always better on the vehicle options.
What is the bag policy at MetLife Stadium?
One clear bag per person, max 12" × 6" × 12" (or a one-gallon clear Ziploc), plus one small clutch no larger than 4.5" × 6.5". No backpacks, tinted bags, or oversized purses. Bag check is available at designated entrance gates — free on NFL days, $5 for non-NFL events.
Full details on the official clear bag policy page.
Are ADA-accessible buses available for MetLife Stadium trips?
ADA-accessible vehicles are available through Jerseycitypartybuscompany.com's network — note your needs when requesting a quote, at least 48 hours before your event date. At the stadium, accessible parking is available in Lots E, F, and G with a valid disabled placard or plate; contact MetLife Stadium guest services for venue-side accessibility assistance.
