Maxman Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 He's very real, never let him get your cell number, the texts you get from him can never be unseen True story, I have changed my cell phone number 6 times because of Tom Shane. It is disturbing and fascinating at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Go with uber cheaper option than a cab- this way you do not have to bother getting a rental car. You going to joes tailgate? E10 lot Also they are calling for the coldest weather of the year this weekend by us for you Florida people Yeah, I've seen that which sucks because I have very little warm clothing. haha. Doesnt look like a weekend for flip flops, shorts and a t-shirt up there. So uber? What time should we leave Brooklyn? And can they drop us off right at E10?

JustInFudge Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I would take the bus from Port Authority. If you're not tailgating afterwards, I would also take the bus back to Port Authority. Interesting option...what times does it leave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj meadowlands Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Interesting option...what times does it leave? They're frequent. Probably every 10-15 minutes starting at 9am... $5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flushing Roots Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Since this will be my first game in Metlife (sad, I know) can someone help me out logistically with planning on Sunday. When we used to go the Meadowlands for games, we always stayed with family in Jersey and they'd drive us to the games...so I never had to do this on my own. Advice would be welcomed: If I'm staying in Williamsburg (Brooklyn), what would be the best means to get to the game? I was planning on cabbing or uber'ing it so I dont have to deal with anything...is that ridiculous and we should just rent a car for the day? It's what, a 45 minute drive? What time should we leave, where should they drop us off, etc? Thanks in advance. You could rent one of those Zip cars but between the tolls and the parking pass you could get a steak for 2 at Peter Lugar. If you want to keep it cost effective and stress-free, either take the bus from Port Authority or take the NJ transit train from Penn Station right to MetLife (change at Secaucus). Leave early for that... and at the end of the game you will have to wait. Those trains are packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the game but the Eagles game as I walked in there were still plenty of cars sitting in traffic. If you have a tailgate party to attend it's even better. If you don't get to come here often you should come in at 8 am when the lots open to experience an all day tailgate. Also much less traffic. Remember with Uber you have to pay that toll to cross the Verazano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenoandtheJets Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I'll be at the game. upper deck seats. They better win. I hope Bowles has the team prepared. The Jets should win. 4-1 has to be the end result. These are not the "Same Old Jets" anymore. I'm so hyped up that I'm going Sunday. They should beat Washington easily the way the Jet defense is playing. Go Jets! hoping for the best. Just Win make me happy this Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to be characterized as a loud, drunk, burping, farting, vulgar blue collar guy who guzzles Schiltz and gouges meatball heroes with Vinnie from Staten Island.

My buddy & I 1st went to Brooklyn Brewery & then had a 3:00 reservation for Peter Lugers. Thank god we enjoyed that because the game itself was a catastrophe.

Unfortunately, my chick is very fancy, so it might be hard to convince her to use a bus or the subway. So I'll probably have to fork over a boat load for a cab or uber. Speaking of which, I dont have the uber app. Is this true that when you download the actual app, your first ride is free? Wonder if I can pull that off?

You're driving thru Chinatown/Soho, you're gonna see bumper-to-bumper traffic as your car moves towards the Holland tunnel; lots of different roads merge at that point, so you get the most congestion over there. You also get slowed down on Williamsburg bridge. I drove from Bushwick to Secaucus a bunch of times, without traffic its a little over 30 minutes but during the day, it takes one hour. And that's when i'm going to visit my folks. You gotta add another 10 minutes going to the stadium and then a bit of walking time from the lot to your seats. So you're looking at an hour and a half. I'm guessing you haven't got a parking pass, tell your driver to drop you off at lot D. Isn't uber gonna cost you $70 or something (one way)? Valuable money that could be used for alcohol.

Thanks for the tip though. all this talk gives me stress. Almost all other cities, going to a game is a breeze. lIttle but of traffic near the stadium. NY games are such a pain for out of town people. Love away games in cities where the stadium is downtown. Nashville, Charlotte, Atlanta etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flushing Roots Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 I made a pre game decision we're going into the stadium early today. Will try to keep the extortion to a minimum purchasing some concession food and will watch the warmups down low by the Jet's tunnel. Usually the last part of that call is a good one.

Jet in PA Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Had a great wedding and reception and kicked off the honeymoon at MetLife to watch a great game.
