Every time I go to MetLife, the Giants or Jets lose. As a Bills fan that makes me happy haha. But in all seriousness. This is a large venue with great acoustics, tons of amenities, all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a more modern stadium and of course a terrible football team. This time around, I was with my bro who's a Dolphins fan and we were in the 200 section with club access. A nice little surprise for his bday. He tweaked a knee or something earlier that day trying to relive his glory football days and so we asked the concierge for low mobility seating rather than our seats in row 5, and they were happy to support. It was only 8 or so rows back from where we were originally supposed to sit and it was still fantastic. We were on the visitor side and the club access was climate controlled, had bathrooms, gave us higher quality of food options as well as drinks and was full of chill people rooting for their teams on the field and on the multitudes of TVs they had around. I was extremely happy with the quality of food and club access. And the prices were pretty much the same as the main concourse. Leaving MetLife is always a challenge. I was staying in Newark so it made it less of a nightmare. For Lyfts, Ubers, and taxis, it's lot E. I decided to wait out the price surcharge for a while and it dropped about 50 percent. The wait was about 40 minutes after end of game tho. Really can't go wrong anywhere in the stadium for seating. If I'm not in the lower bowl like I was the first time I came, I'd definitely come back to the 200s level section again. Great time! read more

My first time at Metlife was back in 2019 for BTS, and I recently came back... for BTS again. There's multiple ways of getting to the stadium - by NJ transit train, bus, car, or parking nearby at the American Dream mall and walking there. I took the NJ transit this time and it was pretty chaotic but highly preferred over a bus or having to find parking there. They adopted the system where you needed a wristband to use the train, but it wasn't a good system for the people that didn't take the train to get there (alot of people went early using other methods for merch or for VIP entry). They should have trains run earlier next time, not starting at 4-5pm. Or have a clear area to get wristbands at the end of the event - there was no clear signage for people and they were confused and blocking the people that already had wristbands and were trying to get to the trains. Metlife itself is a pretty cool stadium, I like that it has an open top because we got amazing fireworks during and at the end of the show - something that some other stadiums couldn't get! Fairly easy to find your seating, and it doesn't feel as far from the stage as some other stadiums when you're sitting in the 100s. We were also thankfully allowed to enter through any gate, instead of just the one mentioned on the ticket. The food wasn't anything spectacular and could be way better for the prices they're selling at. Chicken tenders tasted like elementary school cafeteria food and the pretzel braid was dry. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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). read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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.

I visited MetLife Stadium for the first time to attend the Chris Brown and Usher concert. It was truly a great experience. I've seen Usher in concert before so I was excited to see him again. But I must say that Chris Brown is an excellent performer. He's so talented. We had great seats in the 100 level and we had a great view of the stage. I would definitely see both artists again. Also the prices for the chicken tenders and French fries were a good deal considering we were in a stadium. We received our food quickly. It was also well prepared. MetLife Stadium is a good venue. I wished that stadiums could be built so they can close the top when the weather is bad. It rained a lot that evening but by the time the show started the rain was over. read more

5 stars for the bruno mars concert but 3 for the overpriced stadium food drink and parking

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! read more

I've only been to MetLife Stadium once, to see Rihanna and Eminem, and the show was absolutely electric. We were seated fairly high up, but the sightlines were still excellent; the sound carried beautifully, and the scale of the production made the whole night feel enormous in the best possible way. The parking lots are massive, and the stadium can feel like its own little island, but that isolation also adds to the sense that you have arrived for a major event rather than simply another concert. For a stadium this large, I came away impressed by how well the experience translated even from the upper sections. read more

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.

I've been to many more concerts at Metlife since my initial review. While the stadium website boasts enhancements, the seating feels a lot more cramped than it used to. Going to concerts is one of my favorite things but I'm starting to reconsider! Left it at 3 stars because the food options are great and they book top notch entertainment- aka Beyonce and Chris Brown. There's ample parking, especially once you consider the American Dream Mall parking lot. And yes, leaving the events (I stay til the end) is a nightmare with traffic, etc. Don't know how they can fix this, but thw venue feels safe. read more

I recently attended the first night of Oasis at MetLife. The acoustics are solid for a stadium, and I could hear Liam over the crowd singing along very well. And we could see them (albeit they looked like micromachines) from our seats in section 332 up in the nosebleeds apart from the big screens. The lines to get into the stadium were pretty straightforward. There were plenty of available queues, so you don't have to wait in line for 20 minutes at the closest ones. They also had a guy with a bullhorn pointing this out, which was good because people can be oblivious. I didn't have an issue getting drinks or food at any of the stations. There were plenty of people behind the counter who took the orders fast and provided your orders within a short time. What I didn't like -- similar to what I experienced at Wembley in London -- is how they herd you down an enclosed stairwell and don't allow the use of the escalators for additional access. You always feel there is a risk of some stampede happening, which would be disastrous in close quarters. Additionally, it took over an hour to make our way to the trains. I suppose how they do it is the best approach, given the number of people coming out of the stadium, but the bottlenecking was quite prevalent between the train queue and the dispersing queue from the seats in the stadium. All-in-all, if you're coming from the City for a concert, even a football game, you could be taking at least two hours before you make it back -- not counting however long it may take to where you are going in the Boroughs. read more

I've been here multiple times for concerts and would keep coming. Seating is decent, food is decent - overpriced but that's what you expect at a stadium that hold concert and athletic games. It's connected with a bridge to American Dream so if you wanted to park first ($40-50 at MetLife as of summer 2025) you can park then walk the bridge over to American Dream to check it out, shop or eat. Some seats will get you access to the indoor bar downstairs and the coaches club upstairs where there's a large food court style area - that was a sweet surprise one time! Service is always on par. I've yet to have a negative experience here. read more

I came from out of town for the FIFA Club Championship game and was impressed with how easy and organized it was to reach the stadium. MetLife is essentially connected to American Dream Mall (which is worth checking out because they have plenty of attractions of their own), and you can park their and walk across a bridge to get to the stadium. BE WARNED... If you park at the mall for an event for the stadium there's an event surcharge and parking can cost just as much as your event ticket! The stadium itself is big, but still has an intimate atmosphere. We were in a middle section and still had excellent views of the field. The stadium is not enclosed, so be prepared to deal with the elements. The food and drinks were priced at what you would expect for a stadium, but you can always grab a bite at the mall, plus there are plenty of vendors selling food/drink outside stadium at a fraction of the cost, so if you have spare time you can always take advantage of that. Just know that no outside food/drink is allowed in the stadium. read more

What can I say, The Giants were great hosts letting the 49ers come away with a 34-24 victory. Sat in second deck on 58 degree day in November but we were in the sun and it was really warm until sun went down in 4th quarter. Great sight lines for an old stadium but maybe could use bigger and better scoreboard. So if you are from out of town staying in Manhattan, get the New Jersey Transit app and but your roundtrip ticket in advance to Metlife Stadium (not Secaucus) from Penn Station New York. When you get to the station just follow the people in Jerseys to the right platform. You will then take the train one stop, get off in Secaucus where you will scan your ticket on your phone to get out of the station and the scan again to get on the little tram to the stadium which drops you off 20 yards from the entrance. RT is $12.90 On way back, the last train leaves 2 hours after the game. Each way takes about 20 minutes once the train gets moving. read more

First time at MetLife and wow, it's huge! If you're driving there, it can be a little overwhelming, but as long as you buy your parking ticket online ahead of time and check the map ahead of time, you'll be fine. There are tons of staff guiding you to open lots. Definitely take a picture of where you park, it gets packed! I went for the Shakira concert, which was completely sold out. Getting in was super easy, no issues at the entrance. We had floor seats, lots of room to dance and the screens were close, but honestly, you couldn't really see her well from where I was- I think her stage set up wasn't great. I feel like no matter where you sit, you'll end up watching the screens anyway, so regular seats probably give you just as good of an experience. Her concert was incredible though so it really made my experience even better. I loved her show wow wow wow!!! Food and drinks are expensive (no surprise), so I'd say eat and pre-game beforehand. Overall, I had a great time, the stadium is awesome and I'd definitely go back! read more

First time at MetLife Stadium. After reading many reviews, I spent a lot of time planning. I tried to go to The Weeknd concert Day 1 but couldn't make it, so went to Day 2. After checking out the videos for Day 1, I picked one of the last seats remaining plus a parking pass. The parking cost almost as much as the ticket. Worth it though- it's an incredible experience. The outdoor stadium is breathtakingly large - the seats on the upper level aren't recommended if you're afraid of heights ! Stadium: 5/5 - great view, helpful staff, relaxed vibe, clean. Restrooms: 4/5 - clean, no lines downstairs but very long lines on the upper levels. Arrive early, or risk missing part of the concert. Parking: 3/5 - Needs better organization - long line for exit, cars and people going random directions, where's the parking attendant ? For 40 plus dollars, expected more. I read about this problem so I parked near the exit and left asap. Food - Sugary drinks and fried food - some limited healthier options are listed (see photo of food screenshot from their website). I wish someone would list nutritional values for food at venues. McDonalds publishes a calorie/nutrition list so it's possible. If they did have a list, I missed it. Seating - Relaxed on the top level, sit wherever - someone was already in my seat, so I took another one. The floor level seemed much less relaxed, wristbands, lanyards etc. I enjoyed the concert at MetLife. The crowd was super nice and polite. The staff were helpful, even if it felt understaffed. The open air environment was comfortable - but look at the weather map before going - no umbrellas allowed. Check the rules on bags too - very strict. If you're noise sensitive bring earplugs just in case. Overall it's a great experience but make sure to plan ahead - especially for the weather conditions. read more

I got the chance to visit MetLife over the summer for an MCR concert. Starting off, security here really wasn't bad. The process of getting in was quick and easy. I also found that sections were clearly labeled, so getting to our seat was easy as well. Like most other concert/sporting venues, food and drinks here are pricy. For the most part though, these items weren't too bad. Chicken tenders and fries were what I expected. I will say, the hot dog I tried was NOT good. Additionally, I did quite enjoy the frozen strawberry daiquiri drink I got! The bathroom lines were also insane when I went. The various screens throughout MetLife looked pretty nice and offered a nice view of the show. I will say, sound quality was not amazing, but MetLife wasn't necessarily built for concert sound. For what it was, I felt relatively comfortable at my seat. The parking situation here is a bit complex. The lots by the venue were of course backed up once the show was over. American Dream also offers event parking. We ended up parking with the mall, which required a decent walk, but we didn't run into much traffic this way. I most likely will be back to MetLife for future shows, but it's definitely not the best venue I've been to. read more

I went to the Beyoncé concert at this stadium. I'm not from the area, nor am I from the city, so I was concerned about exiting and leaving this stadium with such large crowd. They did an amazing job at lining city buses outside of the stadium. Once we were off the city buses outside of the stadium area, it was much easier to catch an uber. Easy entry into the stadium; great management with the organization of this event (although I'd never attend another event here; I'd prefer stadiums with walking options). read more

Came here to see The Weeknd with my sister. The entry process was confusing; after having our tickets scanned, we were unaware that a separate VIP wristband was required for floor seating. This oversight forced us to exit the stadium and locate a tent near a different gate to obtain the wristband... all while juggling overpriced food and an open water bottle, as the cashier said she had to remove the caps. Parking is $40, and with no nearby alternatives, you're left with no choice, as the stadium's location doesn't offer convenient off site parking options, making the fee unavoidable. As for the food, I opted for chicken tenders and fries, because there was a bunch just lined up. I figured it would be quick, as it was. The tenders were crisp but lacked flavor and had an unappealing, processed texture more akin to elongated chicken nuggets. Fries were decent but nothing special. A bottle of Aquafina water is $5, not sure why they had to remove the cap. While the event itself was enjoyable, the logistical hassles (unexplained VIP entry process, having to exit and re-enter, walking around with unsealed drinks and food, unavoidable parking fees) and subpar concessions detracted from the overall experience. read more

I had the absolute time of my life at MetLife Stadium this weekend for the Beyoncé concert! We were in Row 1, Section 5, seats 3-6. Yup, right up front, and I honestly don't think I'll ever top this experience. From start to finish, MetLife delivered. The staff were friendly and professional, especially Grace, the security guard standing right in front of us. She was an absolute delight and added to the fun. The facilities were clean, which is always a pleasant surprise at a packed venue, and the pizza I grabbed while waiting in line for merch was shockingly delicious. Oh, and while Beyonce was singing "Cuff It," my row mates and I made it on the freaking Jumbotron! So we're basically famous now. Exiting the stadium was smooth, and although we made the rookie mistake of taking an Uber from the American Dream lot (next time, we're driving!), the whole experience was still seamless. MetLife really knows how to handle a massive crowd without chaos. Northeast (the old FedEx) Stadium in my hometown could NEVER! This stadium made an unforgettable concert night even more amazing.

At MetLife Stadium, home of the New York Giants, the food scene hits differently when the temperature drops and the game gets tight. Yes, you can still do a classic hot dog and beer, but you would be missing out on loaded tater tots, empanadas, gyros, and surprisingly solid chicken sandwiches. Lines move with New York urgency, and staff somehow manage to be efficient and good-humored even when the crowd is buzzing. The ambiance is raw energy: fans yelling, music pulsing, and you trying to balance a tray of chili-topped everything while never taking your eyes off the field. read more
