Check Your Match Day "Last Leg" Rules

Security Perimeters: Most stadiums enforce a 0.5 to 1-mile "No Drive" zone. Private vehicles and unpermitted charters will be turned away by law enforcement.

Specialized Transit Tickets: Cities like NY/NJ (MetLife) and Kansas City (Arrowhead) require specific, pre-booked transit passes. In NY/NJ, you may be required to show your match ticket just to purchase a shuttle or rail pass.

Official Rideshare Hubs: Do not set your destination to the "Stadium." Use the city’s official Rideshare Hub (e.g., Meadowlands Racing & Entertainment for NJ) to avoid road closures.

NJ Transit Restrictions: Trains to the Meadowlands run from Penn Station via Secaucus, but they are limited-capacity "Event Trains." Expect heavy security screening before boarding.

Manhattan Shuttle Hubs: For NY/NJ matches, official "Meadowlands Express" shuttles depart from Port Authority Bus Terminal and Midtown East (near Grand Central).

Parking Prohibitions: On-site parking is strictly prohibited for non-permit holders. Many cities have implemented $150+ "Congestion Pricing" for the few private lots that remain open.

Charter Permits: If you are booking a private charter, the vehicle must have an Official Security Permit to access stadium-adjacent drop-off zones.

Verify Local Rules: Each host city manages its own security. Always check your specific city link below for the most recent "Last Mile" maps.
