Surely this means that the hotel or the stadium will be providing a free shuttle bus service, right?

Right...?

Looking at maps, there are no sidewalks or walkways on any of the roads leading to or surrounding the stadium. Pedestrians aren't even an afterthought here.

When walking is outlawed only outlaws will go on walks!

Same for most airports that I saw, all only reachable via highways

Henceforth, a minimum of an individual personal transport pod must be used at all times when leaving the comfort spaces! No facilities are made for unprotected movement around the surrounding area.

Had a somewhat similar scenario at an airport.

I wanted to go to the parking garage. It was a nice day out and it was right there. While there were a lot of lanes of traffic, they had cross walks, and pedestrian lights. The signs all said to go up two floors to the pedestrian bridge, but it looked so doable ….

Got all the way across and there was no way to enter the parking garage. Then a cop came by to yell at us

IT is really shitty that they built a stadium without proper transportation infrastructure.

I live three towns away from Giants Stadium and the Meadowlands. Aside from my view that the whole thing should be destroyed, the foundations should be ripped out, and the land should be returned to the swamp and protected...

Yeah, there's only about three hotels that have anything like a (very dangerous) walking route to the Meadowlands, and they're all small. The best ways to get there are either by bus (there's 2 routes that go there), or the new rail they put in. So I'm going to say the same thing I said when they held that stupid sportsball thing and wrecked half our roads: do not come here. Now, with constant or near-constant ICE activity around, if you're not local with a support network, I have to be more vehement: absolutely avoid this area.

Stay away. Do not come here for any reason at any time. If you must come because it's life-or-death, come in, do what's necessary, and leave immediately.

Since this post is lifted, title and all, directly from /r/UrbanHell, I'll link the post here in case anyone wants to read the comments.

One of them links to a really good New York Times article from 2013 about this exact problem. You genuinely cannot comply with New Jersey traffic laws – reasonable ones that keep you safe – and walk to the stadium on foot.

metlife is one of the worst stadiums, i went here for a soccer game last summer it was 98° and most seats have no shade whatsoever to the point where people would applaud the moving c clouds. they didn’t let us bring our own water into this stadium and if you wanted water you had to wait in a huge line and pay 5 bucks. this is where the world cup final is gonna be btw

Jeez, they still haven't fixed that shit? I saw a Chili Peppers concert there in like 2008, my date and I took NJ Transit or PATH out there from the city (I forget which) and ended up having to walk several miles along highways to get the the stadium. I wouldn't give the Meadowlands my money ever again until they did something about that. The trains aren't even that far away, they just haven't connected them!!

LAND OF THE FREE!

Looking at the map, yeah that's not safe. Surrounded by freeways.

You can't even travel without the need for identification and documentation get freedomed

Only in the USA, stadiums built without direct access to decent public transportation. FFS, the 1st World builds a subway or commuter station within stumbling, for the drunks, distance of the stadium.

That's NJ AF

Typical that a life insurance company doesn't want you to die, but still makes it your problem.

wow what a hell hole

This look like a a SCP wiki article

Ok, I get that you can’t exactly walk there from that hotel but that’s not the whole story. They have pretty good public transport servicing MetLife.

I’ve been to a few sold out events at MetLife and I’ve taken the train every time and every time it was the right call. The train drops you off at the stadium and it’s one transfer in Secaucus to Penn station in NYC. Additionally there are lots of buses for folks to get in and out of the stadium.

It’s a hell of a lot better than my home stadium FedEX field outside Washington, DC. You can take the train to FedEx but it’s a 20-30 minute walk to a metro, I’ve seen folks get hit walking to the station. The only real option is to drive and pay 75$, sit in traffic and be miserable the entire time. I’d love to see a train station that you could safely walk to in DC. Hopefully the RFK redevelopment will be better.

Sure you can’t walk from a hotel but it’s not like they didn’t have public transportation options for MetLife.

Ok then, I'll run 👌

Boycott this, and walk that route anyways.
