MetLife Stadium will have no available spectator parking available due to the parking lot being used to host FIFA related sponsors, fan experience events and heightened security measures. Public transportation will be limited and will be only able to handle half of the anticipated spectators. Ride share and shuttle services will be restricted to designated pre-approved locations. The restricted transportation will put a high demand on nearby private and public parking areas. Expect match spectators and general fans with and without tickets to travel to the meadowlands area searching for parking. FIFA will not allow non-sanctioned shuttling to the MetLife property; therefore, if you are planning on doing so, there will no safe way to transport attendees to the MetLife property.
