NFL Parking
Parking permits will be required for all vehicles entering the Sports Complex (stadium and IZOD Center sides of the complex).
The New York Football Giants and NY Jets are excited about playing their games in the state-of-the-art New Meadowlands Stadium. Our goal is for all ticket holders to not only enjoy the new stadium but the entire game day experience. This includes the pregame tailgating that our fans have come to enjoy.
The opening of the New Meadowlands Stadium not only enables both teams to play their home games in the NFL’s very best stadium, it represents a vast improvement in the traffic and parking experience for our ticket holders. New and improved access roads and parking lots will enable fans driving to the stadium to arrive and depart the Meadowlands Sports Complex (Sports Complex) much faster, easier and more efficiently. A tremendous amount of research and effort has been put into creating the new traffic and parking plans.
There have been significant improvements made to the infrastructure, external roadways and signage that support the Sports Complex. The most significant improvements have been made to the 16W and 18W interchanges of the New Jersey Turnpike. In addition, the parking lots and roadways at the Sports Complex have been redesigned to improve the flow of traffic as well as the ingress and egress times for ticket holders attending games at the New Meadowlands Stadium.
All NFL game day parking at the Sports Complex will be by pre-paid permit parking only. If a ticket holder is operating a vehicle and plans to park at the Sports Complex on game day, he or she must have a permit to do so. Ample parking is available at the Sports Complex, but ticket holders are urged to consider taking mass transit (train or bus) or carpool if possible. This will reduce the demand for parking, improve the ingress and egress for all patrons, and also benefit the environment.
- Please be advised that the identification of the parking lots has changed from a numbered system to a lettered system.
- Ticket holders who have tickets in the general seating areas of the New Meadowlands Stadium will be directed to park in the parking lots that are closest to their point of entry into the Sports Complex. This will include parking on the east side (IZOD Center) of the Sports Complex. This will reduce traffic and improve the ingress and egress times on game days. THIS POLICY DOES NOT APPLY TO THOSE TICKET HOLDERS WHO HAVE PARKING PERMITS FOR THE PREMIUM PARKING LOTS WHICH ARE LOTS E, F, AND G.
- Circulation between parking lots will not be permitted.
- To ensure safe and efficient travel throughout the Meadowlands Sports Complex, please follow the directions of the Traffic and Parking Staff.
- Trucks, trailers, buses and other oversized vehicles are not permitted to park in the enclosed parking deck on the east side of the Sports Complex (next to the IZOD Center).
- Illegal parking outside the Sports Complex on area roadways, medians, grass malls and vehicle breakdown lanes is prohibited. Violators will be ticketed by local law enforcement and/or towed at the owner’s expense.
- Overnight parking on the Meadowlands Sports Complex is not permitted.
- Vehicles are subject to search by New Jersey State Police which could include a canine unit. Those ticket holders refusing a search of their vehicle will not be permitted to enter the Sports Complex.
- Although significant improvements have been made in the access to and from the Sports Complex as well as in the internal roadways and parking lots, it is still recommended that ticket holders give themselves plenty of time for arrival to the game. Ticket holders are encouraged to enter the stadium early to become familiar with the routes to their seats, restroom locations, concessions stands/portables, merchandise locations etc.
Parking Permits
- Parking permits will be required for all vehicles entering the Sports Complex (stadium and IZOD Center sides of the complex).
- Parking permits must be displayed at all times while on the Sports Complex; they can be hung from the rear view mirror or they can be placed on the dashboard of the vehicle.
- Parking permits only grant the ticket holder access to the Sports Complex parking lots. They do not entitle the ticket holder to a reserved parking space in a specific parking lot.
- The parking permit entitles the ticket holder to one parking space for his/her vehicle and tailgate set-up. Adjacent parking spaces may not be used for grills, chairs, tents etc.
- A ticket holder who may be in possession of more than one pre-paid parking permit will not be allowed to use adjacent spaces for tailgating.
- Parking permits will not be replaced if lost, stolen or destroyed.

There will be strict enforcement of the one permit one parking space policy. See the Tailgating diagram above for the proper way to setup a tailgate.

- A ticket holder who may be in possession of more than one pre-paid parking permit will not be allowed to use adjacent spaces for tailgating. Lined parking spaces are for vehicles, not tailgate activities.
