Bob Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Welcome. There are guys here who can tell you more precisely, but I know there are buses that run from Port Authority to the stadium. A cab would cost you a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gangrene Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 it's a Paddy Positioning System, locate and place a Paddy . . . Seriously, as a fellow Irishman who started the treak out to the Medowlands over ten years ago, the bus is the easy option. Various girlfriends and cars later, I still prefer the bus. Driving a car can be a a one to two hour trip back to Manhatten because of post game traffic - totally deflating excercise when we lose. I drove during a Kotite year and boy did it suck royally. You go to Port authority at Eight avenue and between 41st and 42nd street. THe ticket desk is at the very back of the ground floor. The buses leave every twenty minutes or less starting several hours before game time. The trip takes about 30 minutes max. sometimes less depending on the traffic/how close to actual game time. Yes, they do return trips back to Port Authority after the game. Cost ? It's cheap compared to a bad beer or lousey hot dog at the stadium. The one draw back is the lines for the return buses are loonng and you have cretins jumping the que countinuosuly. Be advised to tear your self away from the game early or be prepared to que for a minimum of 30 minutes to get back on a bus. A lot of beer is consumed by good people and absolute degenerates alike so if you call anyone out on jumping ahead prepared to exchange licks. As an added side bonus some gratuitous breast flashing sometimes goes on on the circular walkways between the different levels during half time, a needy lift during a rebuilding period (opps, there I said it, folks, we're rebuilding !) Go n'eirigh on Bothar (Route 3) leat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeniorFlaJet Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 The fact that you are going to a preseason game means that the usual full house for a regular season game will be cut in half. Everything that was told you is true but I can't see it being as bad as during the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
