Only in the USA, stadiums built without direct access to decent public transportation. FFS, the 1st World builds a subway or commuter station within stumbling, for the drunks, distance of the stadium.
What makes you think it’s not connected to public transportation?
They’re simply saying you can’t walk, please use another form of transportation.
edit: people in this thread are saying there is public transit to it.
IT is really shitty that they built a stadium without proper transportation infrastructure.
Had a somewhat similar scenario at an airport.
I wanted to go to the parking garage. It was a nice day out and it was right there. While there were a lot of lanes of traffic, they had cross walks, and pedestrian lights. The signs all said to go up two floors to the pedestrian bridge, but it looked so doable ….
Got all the way across and there was no way to enter the parking garage. Then a cop came by to yell at us
There are rumors that breathing will be canceled too.
Same for most airports that I saw, all only reachable via highways
I went to school a block away from a major international airport. Unless you can hop a fence and run with bags on a runway while dodging security and airplanes, what you said is true. I’ve lived near the airport most of my life and I still have trouble escaping from it after picking up/dropping off someone.
Surely this means that the hotel or the stadium will be providing a free shuttle bus service, right?
Right…?
Some lots around met life include a shuttle as part of the parking fee. It sucks, you pay over $100 for a parking spot 3 miles from the stadium and then have to watch a jets or Giants game.
Imagine paying $100 to drive a car there just to have to ride a bus anyway 💀
Why are you paying for a parking spot when you’re getting a shuttle service?
The shuttle goes from the parking lot to the stadium. Met life stadium is in the middle of nowhere on the side of a highway. The lots are so big and widespread that there are busses so people don’t have to walk all the way to/from their car.
Typical that a life insurance company doesn’t want you to die, but still makes it your problem.
Henceforth, a minimum of an individual personal transport pod must be used at all times when leaving the comfort spaces! No facilities are made for unprotected movement around the surrounding area.
Since this post is lifted, title and all, directly from /r/UrbanHell, I’ll link the post here in case anyone wants to read the comments.
One of them links to a really good New York Times article from 2013 about this exact problem. You genuinely cannot comply with New Jersey traffic laws – reasonable ones that keep you safe – and walk to the stadium on foot.
Boycott this, and walk that route anyways.
Boycotting would be not going at all.
Looking at the map, yeah that’s not safe. Surrounded by freeways.
That’s NJ AF
Ok then, I’ll run 👌
Jeez, they still haven’t fixed that shit? I saw a Chili Peppers concert there in like 2008, my date and I took NJ Transit or PATH out there from the city (I forget which) and ended up having to walk several miles along highways to get the the stadium. I wouldn’t give the Meadowlands my money ever again until they did something about that. The trains aren’t even that far away, they just haven’t connected them!!
This look like a a SCP wiki article
