Inter-city logistics and stadium guide for traveling supporters

🚀 MATCHDAY UBER/LYFT SURVIVAL HACK (DESTINATION)

How to beat the Surge Pricing at MetLife Stadium (New York):

NEVER open your Uber app at Lot E post-match unless you want a $120+ bill and a 1-hour wait. Instead, walk 20 minutes outside the complex to Redd's Restaurant or jump on the train to Secaucus Junction first, then hail your ride from there to save up to 60% and escape gridlock.

Official Gate Drop-off Area: Lot E is the designated rideshare zone. Expect 45+ minutes delay after the final whistle.
