first of all, if youre planning on tailgating, a parking pass is a NECESSITY. if you dont have a parking pass, theyll force you to park in some corporate parking lot where youre not allowed to tailgate and you have to take a bus to the stadium…NOT fun. as for the fighting, you will without a doubt be ejected from the game, i dont know about arrests. i would definitely try and avoid violence at all costs. your cowboys friend isnt likely to get anything thrown at him, but he’ll have more than a few obscenities thrown his way. i live in central jersey so im not sure how to get to the stadium from the north, but i think the turnpike south is probably your best bet. i hope this was of some help to you, and enjoy the game!

if the Giants crush them. Much like the Broncos fans were more than pleasant to me, for the most part, this past Thursday.

Take 95 South to 287 West across the Tappan Zee (avoid taking 95 all the way down the the GW). Then take the Garden State Parkway South and get off onto Route 17 South. Right after the Teterboro Airport take the exit for Paterson Plank Road (NJ 120 East). Thats the way I used to go growing up driving from Upstate NY and when I lived in CT and should get you to the stadium (unless they changed the traffic pattern). Good luck.

I can’t help you with the logistics since my uncle always took care of that and I’m in the same county of east rutherford.

I wouldn’t expect anything happening to your friend, as long as he doesn’t go looking for trouble. Maybe some taunts, but definitely no beer on him.

Cuz the old stadium smell combined with a potentially rotting season…could make you see that pregame bratwurst twice.

You are going to have a blast. I have been numerous times and even when you have to tailgate in a parking garage you can still have a blast.

Best was last season against Carolina and the Overtime game. It was so friggin cold but It was a great game to be at in person.

I will be keeping my fingers crossed for the big Win for you against Dallas…

drove to Jersey last night to a bar called Rusty Kale and picked up 4 tix + parking pass. Everything was legit. Helluva burger place there. Guy selling the tix recommended I park by Moonochie Drive and pull some sort of loop to get out after the game. Damn I hope the Giants show up!

I’m a season ticket holder and it’s great you have the passes because it’s a nightmare if you don’t.

They will not let you enter the stadium until 5 hours before kickoff so I guess that would be 11:00 AM. If you get into the stadium before then they will force you to leave and you have to drive around Route 3 until 11:00 so I would wait until a little after 11:00 to arrive to avoid bottle necking upon entrance.

I know you said your tickets are upper endzone but find out what section and then look at a map of the stadium to locate the closest gate (Gate A B C or D) to enter from and park there so you don’t walk around for too long.

The security line at the gates walking into the stadium can get backed up a bit so I suggest walking into the stadium at least a half hour before kickoff, this could be tough if your’re haveing a good talgate but try and stick to it so you don’t miss any of the game.

When you park, park close to an exit so you can get out easy. Becasue of the new construction there are different traffic patterns and it’s a nightmare to get out and when your leaving keep your eyes peeled for which road you have to get on because people are driving like nuts to leave and you have to be uber agressive if not you just keep going around in a circle like Clark Griswald in European Vacation.

Your friend should be fine. Giants fans are pretty good. It might be a little rowdier than normal becasue of later kickoff in December and they are having a bad season so a lot of season ticket holders probabbly sold this game. Because of this your friend will not be alone Cowboys fans come out of the woodwork when their team is good and will go to Giants games so unfortunaley there will be pleanty of them. Just tell him not to act too much like a jerk and not to draw a lot of attention to himself and he’ll be fine. If you do end up in fight or arrested the season ticket holder gets informed about the incedent and it goes against them. If they have 3 incedents then they loose their tix so try and not to get in a fight because it screws the season ticket holder in the end.

I know you said you’re going with your wife so this last idea will be out of the question this Sunday but if you ever go again with just some guys go hit up a strip club called Stelletos after the game. It’s on Paterson Plank road in East Rutherford right by the stadium, TREMENDOUS girls there that would be a nice Christmas gift.

Sorry about the long winded response but I’ve learned a lot in my years of going so have fun and don’t get in trouble.

…as long as you get there early enough. Do that, tailgate, and soak it all in. Have a great time!!! A win makes the drive home so much better. We hang for about an hour after the game to let everyone clear out.
