San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I wonder if richNjoisy and his gang are attending. He's the head of a Jersey Bills Backers group. You oughta message him. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/user/1465-richnjoisy/ Also Dawg, I might change your topic title to "Anyone tailgating at Bills-Giants game?" or something along those lines. When I saw the topic, I thought maybe you were looking for a bar to watch the game at in NYC. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane nelson Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I live in NJ and have Giants Season tickets. Just so everyone is aware the new stadium is all parking passes. You can get one on ebay for $40 or less. Scalpers are always on the side of the road selling them as well. If you do not have a pass its a bus ride or long walk to the stadium. I am not sure if you can tailgate in those lots. So if you plan to meet in the lots best to get a parking pass. I will follow all week, let me know if you have any questions on the New Giants Stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyarch Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Heading over there too, even though I have sworn to never attend another contest in NJ after going to about a dozen Jets Bills games in the old stadium over the last 25 years or so. Jet fan behavior is easily the worst in the NFL when it comes to how they treat opposing fans, but that's another post and the Giant fans are a bit better behaved. Would love to see some friendly tailgaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBrad Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 thanks shane – do you know the best way in terms of public transportation to get to the stadium from manhattan? I take the Path train to Hoboken and then transfer to a NJ Transit train to the Meadowlands. Hoboken is also good place to meet up with folks before heading to the stadium as there are a lot of bars right around the station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJBuffFan Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 It's a quick train ride from Hoboken, and the majority of people out that early on a Sunday morning in Hoboken are headed to the game. Look forward to seeing some Bills fans mixed in that crowd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will follow all week, let me know if you have any questions on the New Giants Stadium Can you still park over by the Continental Arena w/o a pass and walk over (through the big tunnel)? I've done that before -- not too bad. 15 mins max. thanks shane – do you know the best way in terms of public transportation to get to the stadium from manhattan? I'm pretty sure you can get a bus from Port Authority. Or train to Hoboken and pick up NJ Transit from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane nelson Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I have never taken the train from the city but it appears to be straight forward. i have taken the Port Authority Bus and it pretty easy. Either appear to be good options. i would check out port authority website to see what time they start to run in the AM I got this from the NYC Bill Backers today. Here is their tailgating spot http://nycbbb.com/notes/giants-tailgate-location/ They indicated an update on tailgating will be sent on Thursday. I will post as well. But you should also be able to find data on the BBNYC website Go Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can find them on ebay or scalpers on route 3. There is a cash lot, but I do not know how far it is from the stadium and if you can tailgate. Probably need to check the medowlands website for that data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to wait for a shuttle to take you to the Meadowlands. The whole tailgating experience there has been shot to hell since putting up the new stadium and the attempt to put up that disaster mall/amusement complex.

The Poojer Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 anyone know how available 'cheap' tickets can be had for around the stadium? not even sure if its a sell out...but I would seriously consider going if i could get a $20-30 single ticket for the game....

BillsNYC Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Hey all, here's the latest on NYCBBB's tailgate: For those like myself heading to the game, I spoke with Kenny “Pinto Ron” Johnson this week and asked him about a tailgating spot. We always used to tailgate in 16C, but that is now a premium lot. Funny enough, we became such good friends with the Jets fans in that section over the last 10 years that last year they reached out to Kenny and told them their new location which is a lower tier lot that everybody with a pass can access, and is also a parking lot that fills up slower so most should be able to get into. Here’s a map of the spot: http://nycbbb.com/notes/giants-tailgate-location/ Its called Lot 26 next to the IZOD Center and we’ll be near pole A. Kenny called and verified the spot again this week so we are good to go, he said the best way to describe the location is if you see the huge failed mall they built and you look at the ski ramp, if you drove a car up and off of it you’d fall onto our spot. This is a good test run for our soon to be Jets tailgate later in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
