Matt Derek Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 What is everyone's plan for the Stadium Series next Sunday? How you getting there? What you doing before the game? Honestly, I think driving is the most convenient/cheapest way to go for a group of 4, but seeing if someone had a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDEVS1730 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Probably going to end up taking the train/subway. In the end it'll probably end up being more expensive than driving, but less hectic/time consuming.

DevsMan84 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Driving if weather is good. Train if weather is not cooperating. NJ transit trains take forever and hate operating on their schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans Hockey Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Driving to secaucus junction and then taking the train. Driving to yankee stadium is not worth the headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown01NJ Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Why anyone would drive is beyond me. Anyone tailgating or hanging out anyplace before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oat77 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Never been to Yankee Stadium. Does someone want to pick a bar for NJDevs to meet at? And any bars to definitely avoid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Pig Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) NJT into Penn, then walking over to the D train.

Matt Derek Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Forget about the bars across the street from the stadium... they can't serve alcohol until 12:00 pm on Sundays... also, Yankee Stadium will not serve alcohol until 12:00 pm on Sundays... so plan accordingly. And if you're drinking in the parking lot at Yankee Stadium, the police make their rounds AND will say something to you. No tailgating allowed, so make sure you hide it well if you're drinking, as they will sneak up on you. Same goes for subway, you cannot drink on them like you can drink on the NJ Transit trains. I found that out the hard way with an open alcohol summons. Parking next to the stadium is $35 -- but there's $20 lots/garages a couple blocks away (maybe even cheaper). I think if you're going with a group (3 or more), driving makes sense, especially if you are 30+ minutes from a Path station (or Secaucus Junction). If there's 2 of you, Path to Subway is probably the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't imagine voluntarily driving into what is assuredly going to be traffic hell. Sent via mobile You will encounter less traffic driving to Yankee Stadium on a Sunday morning than any other day. I'll give you a tip, though. Avoid the Major Deegan like you avoid Route 21 for Devils games... but again, you really shouldn't encounter much traffic on a Sunday morning. And its best to park in a lot that has easy access back to NJ -- and not far from the exit of a parking garage that has one exit. My advice for the Wednesday night Rangers vs Islanders game would be a lot different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown01NJ Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I don't want to drive mainly because we all plan on drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I don't think it's getting TO the stadium that'll be the issue driving. Getting out of it's another matter though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Pig Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 What time are you guys planning to get to the stadium? I haven't seen (and, admittedly, haven't really looked for) anything about what's going on pre-game. Or what's going on during intermissions, either, for that matter.

DJ Eco Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I forgot who from this board thought of this idea, but it was BRILLIANT. Taking the train into Manhattan around 7/8AM, and then gonna head straight to LEGENDS (http://www.legends33.com), which opens early to show European soccer. Gonna watch a game or two and get a few drinks and some breakfast in me, then head to Yankee Stadium. LEGENDS is directly in between the avenues where Penn Station is at and Herald Square B-D trains/PATH. Seems like a no-brainer, and they serve alcohol at that hour.
