I've been to this stadium a handful of times but most recently for The R&B Tour headlining Usher & Chris Brown. Commuting to this location isn't difficult; you take the NJ Transit from the city. The stadium is huge as you can imagine. There's lots of vendors selling food and alcohol throughout the venue. Also, lots of restrooms available as well. I wouldn't recommend getting a nosebleed ticket here. Section 200s, 100s, and the Floor are your best bet. The employees that I've encountered were relatively nice. Leaving this venue after an event ends is a nightmare. It's congested and it takes a while to get outside. I only come here occasionally. Your best bet is to book a hotel nearby to avoid having to commute back home or to the city late.

MetLife Stadium has its highs and lows! We went to a game where it rained the entire time, but I was genuinely impressed that the stadium handed out free ponchos and towels to help everyone stay dry--that was a huge lifesaver. However, there are definitely a few areas that need improvement. The food selection is quite limited, so options are sparse if you're looking for variety. Also, trying to use the passenger pickup area was an absolute nightmare--it's nearly impossible to navigate, and I really wish management would streamline that process to make getting out of there much easier.

This is our second time back at MetLife stadium. May 2019 was our first time watching BTS live. We had a great time then, we were ecstatic to see them return on August 1st. Looking forward to the next time we go back to Metlife Stadium. Large space for a great time out. Plenty of concerts and events to attend. Parking is $50 - just a heads up if you take your car versus taking public transportation.

Three level stadium for general seating, a few suite floors, and a giant MetLife suite to the side. This stadium was built for the Giants and Jets and can flip between the two in quick order. They also do a lot of events (like the BTS concert recently that was soooo loud). 86k+ people in the stadium shouting and more - they renamed it for the World Cup 2026 as the "New York New Jersey Stadium" due to FIFA rules, but people still knew what it was. For the BTS show, $50 for general parking, more expensive for Platinum. Other events here like volunteering for 9/11 packing, tours, and more. It''s newer, and big, but not as much personality as some other stadiums. Felt very conservative corporate build, almost since it had to satisfy two teams instead of having more character. Exiting can take time - a lot of ramps/stairs and the security getting in isn't always super easy (clear bag policy, food you can bring into most events, and sealed water/soda). Parking lot exit, while it changes to all exit, is bottlenecked at the entry to 3 or the Turnpike. Food vendors inside mostly unimpressive. Hot dogs, cheesesteak, fried chicken strips, etc. A lot of repeat vendors. And not a lot of variety. Pricing high as normally expected, and bathroom lines get very long for the ladies (men's are fast).

Came for the BTS Concert using NJT. Very easy to get around. Read up on bag policy before you go. I bought a see through bag which got me in seamlessly. Look for multiple gates to enter. Some are smack dab center so everyone sees that first or will flock to. It definitely is gonna be crowded and lines so make sure you plan accordingly. My seats were in the top section so wasn't too good, but the experience was great! Stadium was clean and staff tried to keep things moving! Read up and be prepared and enjoy the show!

MetLife stadium is an okay arena. It's actually smaller than I had thought. It seems like they learn and the flow of traffic after the show to the trains were okay. We had to have our hands up to prove we had the NJ transit bands. I didn't have many issues with the venue too much. Where I did have issue were the merch lines. I don't know why they thought it was appropriate to have 4 people working in one booth. That's not enough people to deal with the demand. We showed up when doors opened and still waited in line for 2 hours to get merch. If you can, definitely lineup early for merch outside as there might be more people. The booth in the 200s is way too slow to accommodate everyone. People definitely missed the first half of the show.

Came here twice for the Black Pink (2023) and now Big Bang (2026). It's a pretty big outdoor stadium. The bag check was very messy as some of staffs don't even know what they're doing but I guess it's very overwhelming for them too as it's just so much people. Overall most staffs are helpful, just make sure you read the policy on their website before coming and the food like most stadium food is not good but you just got to make it through the night. I do like how they allow you to bring in a water/soft drink as long as it's never opened/factory seal.

I've been coming to MetLife Stadium since it opened, mostly for Giants games, but also a few concerts and, most recently, a FIFA World Cup match. It's no secret this stadium draws great events. As one of the main venues in the NYC metro area, geography alone gives it a huge advantage. But the stadium itself is very plain. Not a lot of character, and the amenities aren't that noteworthy. Its Achilles heel is the lack of good transportation options getting too/from the stadium. There's currently no direct rail that takes folks from NYC to MetLife. The best you can do is hop on NJ Transit and transfer at Secaucus, which creates massive bottlenecks and dangerously crowded platforms. The only other choice is to drive, and the roads in and around the stadium turn into pure chaos on event days. Obviously there isn't always a choice, but I give preference to events at Barclays or even MSG whenever possible, so that I'm not wasting half a day in transit.

The mezzanine seats were great for the preseason game between jets and giants. The food in this section was elevated and creative. I had some good hand pies and a few cold ones. The train getting there was easy and the stadium is really nice.

Nice Stadium. Coming here for years. I seen multiple football games and concerts. One thing is that stadium is so big. Perforners looks so small even at 200 level seats. Food are over priced, so better eat before comong here, foods are regular american foods (burgers, pizza and Italian hot dogs. Drinks are like 20. Its nice to see things here. But I will call myself regular. Overall good stadium, Jets and Giants both play here. The parking and are mess and its hard to get out.

Margarita and sumthn else at Corona Beach Club inside the stadium.

I went to my first ever NFL game at Metlife Stadium recently. It was a VERY warm for October, Sunday afternoon. Big fun was had from start to finish. My cousin had VIP Club tickets, which included parking. Major game on a Sunday-Jets vs. Cowboys. The crowd was huge but security detail was on point and got everyone inside quickly. I enjoyed the vibes. Good drinks and seats. The stadium green was bright and boldly painted. Seats are great-not steep at all. The sound system was excellent. Drinks are pricey. The Jets lost. Chowed down on grilled burgers, hot dogs and beers with a few friends in the parking lot for a Tailgate (also my first.) Great time!

This stadium is kind of beat up. The outside looks nice with all the sponsorships and scoreboards. But the seats are pretty beat up and not well cleaned. There are concrete debris and dust from the seats wearing away. Probably could have had a crew come and sweep it all up. Giants are bad. Came here to tailgate. Plenty of space

From our seats in 332.

Are there restaurants or cafes nearby?

Absolutely , some will even drive you to a sporting event. I know but wouldn't go as far as vouch… 

Any recommendations about a clean, good service hotel in close proximity and safe area to MetLife stadium?

I heard the Hilton Garden Inn located on 875 route 3 east service road , Secaucus NJ 07094 was good.

I'm visiting on holiday and going to a jets game in October, what is the best and hopefully fastest method to and from the game to Times Square?

Uber

Are there typically food and beer vendors in the parking lots outside the stadium? I'll be attending a U2 show and we want to hang out before, but don't have a car to tailgate with.

All appropriated vendors are inside...but there are always cool tailgaters who offer food & beverages though!

I wish this venue was closer to me, I'd be there for every hardcore show they put on. For this show there was no barricade; I don't know if that varies from one show to another, but I was happy to see the lack of a barrier when we walked in. The security was just how you want them to be at this kind of show: present and there if needed, but not getting in anyone's way or preventing people from dancing or stagediving. There are two bars in the main area of the Black Box, one at the back, one on the side. And then merch was sold upstairs, and there's another bar there. Snack machines, and candy is also sold at at least one of the bars. I paid $7 for a 12 oz. can of Miller Lite or $9 for Corona, I'm not sure what size that was, 11 or 12 oz. I guess, one of those weird tall, skinny cans. The sound quality here is excellent. They had some lights going on during the bands' sets, but nothing too showy or intrusive. Really, just all around top-quality in terms of sound, stage setup, production. All the employees I encountered were very friendly. This was a pretty big crowd; I don't know if it was sold out or not, but the place was packed by the time AN went on. Sometimes staff can be unpleasant or just generally serious, handling this many people in a theater size venue, but these folks all seemed happy to have us there. I love the Black Box at Williams Center and hope to be back soon.

I love the colors and decor. One of the coolest touches are the vinyl album covers of the counties top music artist adorning the walls. Now getting to the menu, its small but has some tasty sounding options. If your a wing fan they have u covered. I ordered the fried Catfish with the veggie fried rice. It was perfectly seasoned and so light. Not at all greasy or heavy. For the price $35+ i would have like two pieces of Catfish but it wasnt a deal breaker. A must try is their cornbread!!! At first glance it just looks ok and cutting into it i felt it was going to be stale and hard but nooooo It was sooo good!!! U could tell it was homemade. They give u butter and homemade jam on the side. I almost ordered another!! It was that good!!! Fried fish and cornbread is the perfect combo if i know u know lol. If i could say one thing i didnt love was the fact they had no happy hour menu for afterwork crowd and no specials. That goes a long way with speciality restaurants!!! Their signature cocktails start at about $15 and up. I definitely will return to try some other items on the menu.

The fried calamari was easily the best thing on the table. It was fresh, seasoned simply with salt and pepper, and cooked perfectly without a trace of rubberiness. On the flip side, the deviled eggs fell flat. Instead of the dill and hot sauce promised on the menu, they just came with crispy onions and lacked any real texture contrast. ​For the main sides, the crispy Cajun catfish with veggie fried rice was pretty boring--the rice was bland and the fish lacked both the crispness and Cajun flavor I was hoping for. We also got the 12-piece chicken wings. The wings were a great size, but the "everything sauce" was a strange mix of flavors that just didn't work together, while the smoked BBQ was just average. Thankfully, we added a side of mac and cheese to go with them, and it was pretty good--piping hot and had a nice cheese pull. ​All in all, it's a good spot with a fun atmosphere and solid service. Even with a few misses on the entrees, the calamari and mac and cheese made it a good stop after a long day.
