What Should First-Time Visitors Know About MetLife Stadium?
First-time MetLife Stadium visitors should decide how they will arrive and leave before the event because parking and post-event traffic can be difficult.
Quick answer
Choose both your arrival and exit plan before event day. For NFL games, a parking permit is required to enter the Sports Complex. For non-NFL events, prepaid and pay-on-arrival parking can both be available. Verify the event page and, if rail is offered, confirm the schedule and leave time for the return queue.
