Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
Season ticket holder since MetLife opened. Park where you can easily exit rather than walking farther. Also take a picture of your lot letter/number because you will come out a different exit after the game.
Carpooling reduces costs and parking stress. The lots charge per vehicle, not per person.
Post-game: stay and tailgate for 30-60 minutes to let the worst traffic clear.
NJ Transit from Penn Station is the best alternative to parking, train drops you right at the stadium.
Route 3 and Route 120 get severely congested 2 hours before kickoff. Arrive early or take transit.
Handicap parking is available in lots closest to stadium entrances with proper placard.
Pre-purchase parking passes through the Jets app, Ticketmaster, or ParkWhiz to guarantee a spot.

How We Checked This Page
Every section below names the source it was read from and the day it was read. Where we could not reach a published figure, the page says so rather than presenting an estimate as a checked fact.
- Parking guidance
Official MetLife Stadium NFL parking page plus the parking-and-tailgating hub, read 2026-08-14: the Sports Complex permit requirement, the Gold and Platinum lot allocations, the display rules for each of the three permit formats, the day-of off-site lot with its shuttle to Lot G, charter-bus placement in Lot L, the free taxi and limousine drop-off between Lots D and E, the Secaucus Junction park-and-ride, and the 2026 parking map. No lot hours, no ADA rules, no RV policy and no road closures are published.
- Venue policies
New York Jets and MetLife Stadium ticketing, parking, accessibility, A-Z, and guest-policy pages reviewed for visitor-facing policies.
Not yet checked against a published source
These figures are estimates. Most venues no longer publish the numbers behind them — concession and ticket pricing moved to dynamic marketplaces — so we hold them as estimates rather than dating them as verified.
- Parking prices — Never checked against a published rate: the venue's parking page, read 2026-09-05, publishes none — the only figure is the $65 off-site lot for guests without a prepaid permit; on-site Gold and Platinum permit prices are not published. The 2026-07-27 figures were compiled from third-party listings (was: "MetLife Stadium 2026 NFL lots $25-$60, open five hours before kickoff (World Cup matches use separate arrangements and are excluded)").
