Route 3 eastbound stops dead about two miles from the toll plaza on every Giants or Jets home game. The NJ Turnpike's western spur backs up from Exit 16W toward the Newark interchange as 82,500 fans converge on the Meadowlands complex at the same kick window. And when the final whistle blows, every one of them needs the same roads back — which is precisely when rideshare apps in Lot E show two-hour wait estimates and fares that climb four to six times the normal price.

A charter bus to MetLife Stadium sidesteps every piece of this: your group arrives in one vehicle, the bus stages in the designated lot during the game, and when you exit through the MetLife or Moody's Gate after the final play, your ride is already there.

This guide covers exactly how that works — where charter buses park (Lot L), where the commercial drop-off curb sits (between Lots D and E), how the Route 3 and Route 120 approach from Newark plays out on high-attendance days, and why the post-game exit from the Meadowlands complex needs a padded pickup plan built in before kickoff. For a broader look at Newark-area sporting event group travel, see the Newark sporting event bus rental page.

MetLife Stadium at 1 MetLife Stadium Drive, East Rutherford, NJ 07073 — home of the New York Giants and Jets, host to FIFA World Cup 2026, and one of the busiest large-venue addresses in the country on any given fall Sunday.

Why Rent a Charter Bus or Party Bus to MetLife Stadium

Anyone who has coordinated three cars out of Newark for a Jets 1:00 PM home game knows the version of this story that goes wrong. One carpool gets stuck on the Turnpike, someone misses the Exit 16W ramp and adds 20 minutes, and two cars end up in different Gold lots with no sightline to each other. After the game, the lot takes 45 to 90 minutes to empty — and anyone who chose rideshare is watching Lot E quotes tick upward while the crowd piles into the same geofenced pickup zone.

Rent one bus to MetLife Stadium and that whole scramble consolidates into a single boarding location, a single arrival, and a single pickup window arranged before kickoff.

There is also the math. On NFL game days, Gold lot passes run $30–$60 per car; Platinum lots go higher. The off-site lot at 20 Murray Hill Parkway, East Rutherford is $65 with a shuttle ride appended.

A 40-passenger charter bus replaces roughly 10 to 13 individual cars — 10 to 13 parking passes, 10 to 13 separate drives up Route 3, and 10 to 13 chances for someone to get caught in the wrong lane at the 16W interchange. One bus rate split across the whole group typically beats that arithmetic once the headcount climbs past 15 to 20 people. A Newark charter bus or party bus rental turns the Route 3 crawl from a logistical obstacle into part of the occasion — and the pregame energy builds from the moment everyone boards, not from the moment they finally find each other in the parking complex.

Charter Bus & Party Bus Drop-Off at MetLife Stadium

MetLife Stadium publishes its commercial vehicle logistics directly on its official parking pages. There are two separate facts to understand: where the bus delivers your group, and where the bus parks while you are inside.

Lot L — Where Charter Buses Park at MetLife Stadium

Charter bus parking at MetLife Stadium is designated in Lot L, per the stadium's official NFL parking page and general event parking page. Lot L sits within the Gold parking tier — the complex's outer ring — and is specifically set aside for oversized vehicles including charter buses, RVs, and limousines, giving those vehicles the turning radius and staging space that standard car-sized spaces do not allow. Parking lots open five hours before events and close two hours after the event ends, so the bus can be on-site well ahead of any kickoff and staged for a pre-arranged post-game window.

After the event, the stadium specifies that guests who arrived on a chartered bus should exit through the MetLife Gate or Moody's Gate — not whichever stadium exit happens to be closest to their section. Sorting out that specific meeting gate before the group splits to their seats is the single most important coordination step for a MetLife bus trip. Walking out of the wrong gate post-game and trying to reconnect across a packed parking complex is exactly the kind of friction a pre-arranged pickup spot eliminates.

The Drop-Off Curb Between Lots D and E

For the inbound leg, the stadium designates the curb along the roadway between Lots D and E as the commercial vehicle drop-off and pick-up zone, per the official parking guidance. There is no charge to access this drop-off area. The bus pulls to the curb, the group steps off, and the bus proceeds to Lot L to park.

The return pickup uses the MetLife or Moody's Gate as the exit point. Setting that gate and time before anyone goes through security — not trying to coordinate it via text message after the final whistle — is what keeps the exit smooth.

Charter bus parking is in Lot L. The commercial drop-off curb is between Lots D and E at no charge. After the event, chartered bus guests exit through the MetLife Gate or Moody's Gate. All three details come from the stadium's own published guidance.

Confirm the current approach for your specific event date when you book — event-specific routing adjustments can shift the entry flow, particularly for major events like World Cup matches or sold-out concerts.

Getting to MetLife Stadium from Newark: Route 3, Route 120, and the NJ Turnpike

MetLife Stadium sits roughly 9.8 miles from downtown Newark — a 13-to-20-minute drive under normal conditions. On a Giants Sunday with a 1:00 PM kickoff, that same run stretches to 35–55 minutes, and it can back up further on primetime games and stadium-scale concerts where the crowd is larger and the departure window later. The approach matters as much as the timing.

The standard route from Newark follows the NJ Turnpike Western Spur (I-95) northbound to Exit 16W, then Route 3 East into East Rutherford, with the final stadium approach via Route 120 (also signed as the Sports Complex Access Road). Route 3 is the primary east-west corridor feeding the Meadowlands complex, and it consistently locks up in the two to four miles approaching the stadium on any event with five-figure attendance. Route 120 sees its own slowdowns and, during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, was restricted to credentialed vehicles only during match windows.

An alternative for EZ-Pass holders: continuing past Exit 18W and entering via Interchange 19W adds mileage but can cut around the worst of the Exit 16W backup when that interchange is fully saturated. NJDOT recommends arriving at the complex three to four hours before major events; for World Cup match days, the recommendation was to skip driving entirely — traffic on Routes 3, 17, and 120 was heavy from five hours before matches to five hours after.

Newark to MetLife Stadium — about 9.8 miles via the NJ Turnpike Western Spur to Exit 16W, then Route 3 East into the Meadowlands complex. That 13-minute off-peak run turns into 35–55 minutes on a sold-out Sunday, with Route 3 backing up well before the Route 120 junction.

A Newark charter bus makes the approach one vehicle's problem instead of ten. For a 1:00 PM kickoff, lots open at 8:00 AM — departing Newark by 7:30 AM gets the bus to Lot L before the worst of the incoming flow develops. For a Sunday Night or Monday Night Football game, the post-game exit runs later and the traffic disperses more slowly; pad the departure window from the hotel or pickup spot accordingly.

All of that timing is built into the booking, not sorted out in the parking lot.

MetLife Stadium Transportation: Every Option Compared

A private bus is not automatically the right call for every group, and Partybusrentalnewark.com is a comparison site — so here is an honest breakdown of all realistic ways to get a Newark-area group to MetLife Stadium on game day.

Option Cost shape Arrive together? Door-to-door? Post-game pickup Best group size
Charter bus or party bus rental One flat rate, split by group Yes — one vehicle, one arrival Best — drop at D+E curb; park in Lot L Bus stages; picks up at MetLife/Moody's Gate on schedule 15–56
NJ Transit Meadowlands Rail Per-ticket (round trip varies) Only if all on the same train Good — train drops at stadium's front door Runs ~2 hrs post-event; schedule-bound Any, but no group control
Coach USA 351 Meadowlands Express $18 round trip per person Only if all on the same departure Good — Lot K, near Quest Diagnostics Center Runs ~1 hr after event ends Any; departs from Port Authority, not Newark
Rideshare (Uber / Lyft) Per car + post-game surge (4x–6x) No — multiple cars, staggered ETAs Poor — Lot E pickup, 2-hour post-game waits Surge pricing, queue exceeds 2 hours 1–4 per vehicle
Everyone drives $30–$65+ per car parking + gas No — carpools split Varies by lot; outer Gold, closer Platinum 45–90 min to clear the lot complex 1–2 cars

For a solo fan or a pair coming from Manhattan, the NJ Transit Meadowlands Rail or the Coach USA 351 Meadowlands Express are efficient and affordable — nothing wrong with either. But neither allows a group of 20 or 30 people to board together from a single Newark pickup point, arrive together, and be met by their own vehicle when the game ends. A charter bus or party bus rental is the only option that does all three.

NJ Transit Meadowlands Rail — The 10-Minute Train from Secaucus Junction

The NJ Transit Meadowlands Rail Service operates for events with anticipated attendance above 50,000 — that threshold covers every Giants and Jets home game plus stadium-scale concerts. Trains run from Secaucus Junction directly to the Meadowlands Station in approximately 10 minutes, with service described by the stadium as delivering "guests directly to the front door of MetLife Stadium." From Newark Penn Station, catch any NJ Transit train to Secaucus Junction (about 12 minutes), then transfer to the Meadowlands shuttle.

Exit points for transit riders are the MetLife or Verizon Gates. Service continues for roughly two hours after the event ends. Schedules post per-event on the NJ Transit Meadowlands page — check it before your trip since the rail service is event-specific and not a daily commuter line.

Coach USA 351 Meadowlands Express

The Coach USA 351 Meadowlands Express runs direct from Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan to MetLife Stadium, with drop-off and pickup at Lot K near the Quest Diagnostics Performance Center, accessed via the MetLife Gate. Service begins 3 hours before the event start time and continues for approximately one hour after the event concludes. Round-trip fare is $18 per person; tickets are available online or at Port Authority windows.

The trip takes about 20 minutes under normal conditions. It is a solid individual option but departs from Port Authority — not Newark — and runs on a fixed schedule without flexibility for private pickup windows or extended tailgate time.

The Post-Game Exit at MetLife Stadium — Why Your Pickup Plan Needs a Buffer

Getting out of the Meadowlands is the moment most groups underestimate going in. When 82,500 fans leave the same venue at the same time, the roughly 28,000 parking spaces across the complex all try to empty through Route 3 and Route 120 simultaneously — and those roads were already backed up on the way in. MetLife Stadium's official parking guidance states that rideshare wait times can exceed two hours following events.

Third-party observations from Giants and Jets game days consistently report surge pricing at four to six times the standard fare in the Lot E rideshare pickup zone, with a trip to Newark that costs $20 at noon on a Tuesday quoted at $150 or more after a Sunday afternoon game.

With a bus, the exit is not a guessing game. The bus is in Lot L during the game, and your pickup window is set before kickoff — not negotiated in a crowd after the final whistle. The group exits via the MetLife or Moody's Gate, the bus moves to the arranged pickup point, and the ride home departs without waiting for surge pricing to subside or a rideshare queue to thin out.

Build in a realistic post-game buffer: for a standard NFL game, 30 to 45 minutes after the final whistle gives the bus enough time to stage and the pedestrian flow enough time to clear. For sold-out concerts and marquee events, add 60 minutes and arrange the specific pickup spot before anyone walks through the gate.

A 56-passenger charter bus replaces roughly 14 individual cars — 14 parking passes, 14 separate vehicles stuck in the same Route 3 crawl, and 14 chances for someone to be waiting two hours in the Lot E rideshare queue. One bus rate, one vehicle, one pickup window at the MetLife or Moody's Gate: the entire post-game problem reduces to agreeing on a meeting time before kickoff.

Newark Liberty Airport to MetLife Stadium

Newark Liberty International Airport to MetLife Stadium is roughly 10 miles north — a direct Turnpike run that keeps out-of-town groups together from baggage claim to the stadium without the rental-car scramble on arrival day.

For World Cup matches, Giants primetime games, and stadium-scale concerts, a significant share of any group is flying in. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) sits about 10 miles south of MetLife Stadium — a clean Turnpike run that makes it one of the most natural charter bus origin points in the metro area. One bus picks up the whole group at the arrivals curb, delivers them to the stadium or a nearby East Rutherford hotel, and eliminates the rental-car paperwork and individual rideshare coordination entirely.

See the Newark airport transportation page for full detail on EWR group pickups and the Newark Liberty EWR shuttle guide for the specific arrivals-level procedures.

What Size Bus Does Your MetLife Stadium Group Need?

The right vehicle comes down to headcount and how much gear you are moving. The full vehicle lineup covers everything from Sprinter vans for small suite-holder groups to full-size charter buses for fan travel at scale. Here is how the options match up for a MetLife run:

Vehicle Seats Gear capacity Best for Key amenities
14-passenger Sprinter limo / Sprinter van Up to 14 Modest — bags, a small cooler Suite groups, VIP arrivals, small corporate outings Premium leather, USB charging at every seat, tinted privacy glass
Party bus (25-passenger, 40-passenger, 50-passenger) ~15–50 Onboard storage, lighter gear Fan groups who want the pregame energy on the ride over LED lighting, premium sound system with Bluetooth, flat-panel TVs, perimeter seating
15–35 passenger minibus ~15–35 Overhead bins plus some underfloor Mid-size groups, hotel shuttle runs, corporate outings Plush reclining seats, powerful A/C, overhead storage
40–56 passenger charter bus Up to 56 Deep undercarriage bays Large fan groups, out-of-town arrivals, convention shuttles Reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage bays

For fan groups in the 15-to-50 range who want the pregame atmosphere to build on the bus, party buses come with LED lighting and a sound system to arrive in game-day mode. For larger groups or outings where serious tailgate gear needs to travel — folding chairs, a portable grill, a full cooler — a full-size charter bus provides deep undercarriage bays and an onboard restroom that means nobody is making an unplanned stop on Route 3 on the way home. If your group falls between standard vehicle sizes, two minibuses often beat one undersized or oversized option — ask about multi-vehicle arrangements when you compare quotes.

MetLife Stadium Charter Bus and Party Bus Rental Prices

Getting a quote through Partybusrentalnewark.com takes under 30 seconds — no account needed, no obligation, and comparing rates from providers serving the Newark area is exactly what the site is built for. To give you a sense of planning ranges by vehicle:

A minibus for a group of 20 to 30 fans runs roughly $200–$275 per hour on weekends, or in the range of $1,100–$2,150 for a full-day booking. A 25-passenger party bus typically runs $275–$375 per hour on weekends. A full 40-to-56-passenger charter bus runs approximately $200–$350 per hour, or $1,350–$2,850 for the day.

These are planning ranges — the actual quote moves with your specific event date, the number of hours the bus is dedicated to your group (including any tailgate window and the post-game wait), and your originating pickup location. Call 862-367-0180 or use the online form for pricing on your exact trip; the process takes about a minute.

Once a bus rate splits across 40 or 50 people, the per-seat cost routinely undercuts what individual parking passes cost per car. A group of 40 people each contributing $65 toward a charter bus covers more than an 8-hour rental — while 10 separate cars each spending $65 on the off-site lot still need gas, still sit in the same Route 3 backup, and still face the Lot E rideshare guessing game on the way home. See the Newark party bus prices page for a full rate breakdown by vehicle type.

A Sample Game-Day Timeline

To give you an idea of how the day's timing works: a group of 38 people books a 40-passenger party bus for a 1:00 PM Sunday kickoff. Pickup at 7:30 AM from a hotel in downtown Newark. The bus arrives at the MetLife complex by 8:30 AM — before the Route 3 backup develops and with a full tailgate window ahead of the 11:00 AM gate opening.

After a 4:15 PM final whistle, the group exits through the MetLife Gate and meets the bus at 4:55 PM with a 40-minute buffer built in. An 8-hour booking at that size might run somewhere in the $2,300–$2,600 range — roughly $61–$68 per person — with one flat arrangement covering the whole day instead of 10 separate parking logistics plus individual post-game rideshare fares.

Tailgating at MetLife Stadium with a Charter Bus Group

MetLife Stadium parking lots open five hours before most events, which gives a charter bus group one of the longest pre-event windows of any stadium in the region. The undercarriage bays on a full-size coach handle folding chairs, a portable grill, and a full cooler without anyone strapping anything to a car roof. The stadium's official tailgating page publishes what is and is not allowed:

  • Grills are permitted, provided they are used at a safe distance from vehicles. Hot coals must be disposed of in the designated orange bins throughout the complex — never near vehicles or in standard trash cans, and never dumped on the ground. A fire extinguisher (minimum Class 2A-10B:C) is recommended.
  • Open fires are prohibited. Deep fryers and any oil-based cooking or frying are also not allowed.
  • One vehicle, one space. Tailgating is limited to the lined parking space and the area directly in front of or behind the vehicle. Drive lanes and fire lanes must stay clear at all times — no saving adjacent spots, no spreading into the travel lane.
  • Tents and canopies up to an 8-foot-by-8-foot footprint are permitted. Anything larger is not.
  • Sound levels must stay within 65 decibels per NJ State Ordinance. No commercial DJ setups, no unauthorized vending.
  • Glass containers are prohibited.

For a charter bus group parked in Lot L, the tailgate sets up directly adjacent to the bus — which is actually a cleaner arrangement than trying to coordinate multiple tailgate zones across several separate Gold lots. Everyone is in one place.

One critical caveat for 2026 and beyond: During FIFA World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium, there is no on-site parking and no tailgating. The complex lots are closed to general public vehicles on match days, and fans must use transit or designated off-site options. For World Cup groups using a bus, the approach shifts to a transit-connection run — the bus stages outside the restricted perimeter and meets the group at an agreed point after the match, rather than parking on site.

Confirm the current access plan for any major event through the stadium's official resources when you book.

What's Coming to MetLife Stadium in 2026

MetLife Stadium operates year-round, and group bus demand spikes hard around specific dates where Route 3 transitions from a highway into a 55,000-person queue. Here are the key 2026 events drawing groups, with the booking reality for each:

FIFA World Cup 2026. MetLife Stadium hosts eight matches across the tournament, including the World Cup Final, spanning group-stage fixtures in June through the championship match in July. No on-site parking.

No tailgating. Transit-only access. Vehicle supply across the entire tri-state area tightens around World Cup match weeks — the earlier you lock in, the better your options.

A Newark group transportation arrangement for World Cup works best when it accounts for the transit-connection model rather than expecting direct Lot L staging.

New York Giants 2026 home season. The Giants open at home against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football (September 13, 8:20 PM ET), with Thursday Night Football in Week 10 also on the MetLife schedule. Primetime games run later — the Route 3 post-game exit after a primetime game can push past midnight, so any group booking for a primetime kickoff should pad the post-game pickup window to at least 60 minutes and plan for a later return to Newark.

New York Jets 2026 home season. All eight Jets home games kick off at 1:00 PM. Lots open at 8:00 AM for a 1:00 PM kickoff — groups who want a full tailgate window book their bus pickup from Newark at 7:30 AM or earlier.

The mid-morning Route 3 backup is real; getting to Lot L before 9:00 AM means the bus is staged before the approach turns into a queue.

BTS "ARIRANG" World Tour — August 1 and 2, 2026. Both concerts are at 8:00 PM, with a late-night post-show exit on weekend nights when rideshare surge at Lot E is at its worst. Both nights will test vehicle availability across the New York metro area — Newark concert bus rentals for MetLife shows at this scale book weeks or months out.

Waiting until the week of the show typically means paying more or finding nothing available.

Know Before You Go — MetLife Stadium First-Timer Tips

A few logistics every group should confirm before arriving at the Meadowlands complex, drawn from the stadium's official A-Z guide:

  • Clear bag policy. Each guest may bring one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12" × 6" × 12" (or a one-gallon clear freezer bag), plus one small clutch no larger than 4.5" × 6.5". Backpacks, camera bags, fanny packs, and all non-clear bags exceeding 4.5" × 6.5" are not permitted. Oversized bags can be checked at stadium facilities for $5; the fee is waived at NFL events.
  • Mobile tickets only. All tickets are presented via the Ticketmaster app. Screenshots and printed tickets are not accepted. Have every member of the group download the app and load their ticket before leaving the bus — not in the security line.
  • Cash-free stadium. MetLife Stadium is entirely cashless. Reverse ATMs throughout the complex convert bills to prepaid debit cards, but that process takes time — arriving cashless is simpler.
  • Gates open two hours before events. Security at every gate includes bag inspections and metal detector screening. For large groups arriving off a bus, arriving within the first 20 to 30 minutes of gate-open lets your group get through before the bulk of the crowd arrives in the same window.
  • NFL game days require pre-purchased parking. All NFL parking requires a permit bought in advance. Day-of purchases are not available on-site for standard lots. The only walk-up options are the off-site lot at 20 Murray Hill Parkway ($65, cash or credit, shuttle to Lot G) and the Edison Park Fast lot at Secaucus Junction connected to the Meadowlands Rail. Charter bus parking in Lot L is coordinated through the booking arrangement — no separate per-car NFL permit required from each passenger.
  • Check current food and beverage policies on the official A-Z guide before your event. Stadium policies on outside items can adjust event-by-event.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does a charter bus park at MetLife Stadium?

Charter bus parking is designated in Lot L, per the stadium's published NFL parking and general event parking pages. Lot L is part of the Gold parking tier and is set aside specifically for oversized vehicles — charter buses, RVs, and limousines. Parking lots open five hours before events.

For your specific event date, the current approach route and any lot-entry confirmations are sorted out through the booking when you reserve.

Where does a charter bus drop off passengers at MetLife Stadium?

The designated commercial drop-off and pick-up zone is between Lots D and E along the roadway curb, with no charge to access. This zone serves taxis, limousines, and commercial vehicles. The bus drops the group at the curb, then proceeds to Lot L to park.

After the event, guests who arrived on a chartered bus should exit through the MetLife Gate or Moody's Gate and meet their vehicle at the pre-arranged pickup point.

How do I get to MetLife Stadium from Newark by bus?

The standard driving approach follows the NJ Turnpike Western Spur (I-95) northbound to Exit 16W, then Route 3 East into East Rutherford, with the stadium complex accessed via Route 120. The drive is about 9.8 miles — 13 to 20 minutes off-peak, stretching to 35–55 minutes on NFL game days. EZ-Pass holders can also enter via Interchange 19W (continuing north past Exit 18W), which bypasses some of the Exit 16W congestion when that interchange is most backed up.

A charter bus handles this routing for the whole group rather than each car navigating it independently.

What is the rideshare pickup zone at MetLife Stadium, and how long do waits run?

Rideshare pickup at MetLife Stadium is designated in Lot E off West Peripheral Road. The stadium's own official guidance states that rideshare wait times can exceed two hours after events, and post-game surge pricing pushes fares significantly higher than normal. For groups larger than four or five people, multiple simultaneous rideshare requests in the same surge zone with no guarantee of coordinated arrivals makes the charter bus the more predictable option — the bus stages during the game and the pickup window is set before kickoff.

Does NJ Transit serve MetLife Stadium from Newark?

Yes — but with a connection. From Newark Penn Station, take any NJ Transit train to Secaucus Junction (approximately 12 minutes), then transfer to the NJ Transit Meadowlands Rail Service, which runs to the Meadowlands Station steps from the stadium's front door in about 10 minutes. The Meadowlands Rail operates for events with anticipated attendance above 50,000, including all Giants and Jets home games.

Service continues for about two hours after events end. The Coach USA 351 is a separate service running from Port Authority (Manhattan), not Newark, at $18 round trip to Lot K.

Can a charter bus tailgate at MetLife Stadium?

For NFL games and most regular events: yes. The bus parks in Lot L, and the group tailgates within the designated space directly adjacent to the vehicle. Grills are permitted at a safe distance from the vehicle; open fires, deep fryers, and oil-based cooking are not.

Tents up to 8' × 8' are allowed; sound systems must stay under 65 decibels. For FIFA World Cup 2026 match days: no — there is no on-site parking or tailgating during World Cup matches at MetLife Stadium.

How far in advance should I book a bus to MetLife Stadium?

For standard NFL game days outside of major events, two to four weeks of lead time is generally workable. For Giants primetime games (Sunday Night Football on September 13 and Thursday Night Football in Week 10), World Cup match days, and major concerts like BTS in August 2026, book as early as your date is confirmed. Vehicle supply across the New York metro area competes hard on these dates — the best-matched vehicles go first.

Call 862-367-0180 to check availability for your specific event date.

Can a bus pick up a group at Newark Liberty Airport and bring them to MetLife Stadium?

Yes, and it is one of the most natural origins for out-of-town groups. Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) is about 10 miles from MetLife Stadium — a direct Turnpike run. One bus picks up the group at the arrivals curb and delivers them to the stadium or a nearby East Rutherford hotel, eliminating rental-car logistics and staggered rideshare arrivals.

The Newark Liberty EWR shuttle guide covers the specific arrivals-level pickup procedures at the airport.

What is the bag policy at MetLife Stadium?

Each guest may bring one clear plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag no larger than 12" × 6" × 12" (or a one-gallon clear freezer bag), plus one small clutch no larger than 4.5" × 6.5". Backpacks, camera bags, fanny packs, and all non-clear bags larger than 4.5" × 6.5" are not allowed. Oversized bags can be checked for $5 at stadium facilities (complimentary at NFL events).

Review the official MetLife Stadium A-Z guide before your event for current food and beverage details, which can vary by event type.
