@murasakikiwi @unagi_anago @22jenson09 Comparing NYC and Tokyo doesn’t really work bc Manhattan is an island and surrounded by other islands so land is finite which is why the stadium was built way outside of existing high volume transit options.
Plus football and tailgating go hand in hand so most people drive.
English
@WeOverDidIt @unagi_anago @22jenson09 I thought this was parody at first. Even you Yanks can't be that dumb to trot out that line at every point - I guess you can.
How about trying Japan then? After living there, NYC seems tiny. They manage to have trains running after a super typhoon for the rugby world cup...
English
Amazing to be informed by local residents that the concept of walking to a stadium from a train station is so alien that it is in fact illegal
Gregor 🌹🇪🇺🇦🇹@salingergregor
if they keep this bs up there will be 50k intl fans each game day who just take a regular train to Rutherford and WALK the 1h to the MetLife Stadium. I know walking is an unfamiliar concept for most Americans, but it is a thing in the rest of the world.
English
@jaceghost245 @unagi_anago @22jenson09 They really ought to have a drop off point right by one tpke exit and shut down one lane so people can walk the rest of the way. It would probably take too much manpower to shut it down and make sure drunks don’t wander out into traffic though.
English
@unagi_anago @WeOverDidIt @22jenson09 The public transportation price is literally why people are looking to walk there
English
@bnkd187235 @unagi_anago @22jenson09 Dude, the stadium fits 82k people. There is one “line” from MetLife to Secaucus which is more of a hub, though still small. Everyone has to get on that MetLife line. It’s short and will run more trains but the stadium was not designed to transport everyone. Most people drive.
English
@WeOverDidIt @unagi_anago @22jenson09 i dont understand what you are saying by "not meant to transport the entirety of the stadium", like there is a single train per hour or what?
English
@bnkd187235 @unagi_anago @22jenson09 There’s a train there. It’s just not meant to transport the entirety of the stadium. American football tailgating is a tradition hence the parking lots surrounding it.
All of the arenas in the city have public transport but there’s not land available within the city for this.
English
@WeOverDidIt @unagi_anago @22jenson09 idk how is that still an argument for American defending their lack of public transport, just put a fucking bus lane motherfucker if ur too lazy to put tracks
English
@andrea_rebek @Don_Fede_Chiesa @22jenson09 There is a finite amount of land in the area. You”ve got 2 baseball stadiums easily accessible. 2 Basketball/ hockey as well. There’s no room for (American)football within the existing framework, hence the middle of nowhere stadium.
English
@Don_Fede_Chiesa @WeOverDidIt @22jenson09 But it is lazy, if you build a stadium that has no way to reach by walking/train it just show how bad things are that they would not even waste money to do it
English
@RIchardAll79668 @22jenson09 No it would take ten years and $100 Billion
English
@WeOverDidIt @22jenson09 In the year of our lord 2026 could they not put a bridge over the road?
English
@aenavinjak @22jenson09 So it’s not going to be as bad getting there bc people will go at different times. But going home? Plan on sticking around for a few hours.
English
@WeOverDidIt @22jenson09 You never saw ultras in Europe? There will literally be 10-20k people that march together and there is nothing that anyone can do about it…
English
@unagi_anago @22jenson09 Ok but in fairness most European countries are as big as our states
English
@WeOverDidIt @22jenson09 In countries other than the U.S., stadiums are never constructed in places that aren't within walking distance of public transportation.
Oh, sorry. Public transportation is an alien concept to Americans.
English
@TheSkullTrumpet @22jenson09 There is like one bridge/ pass from the lots by American dream into the stadium area. The rest is just open lots and nothingness. Had there been a huge complex built with restaurants and bars they likely would have made it more walkable but it’s open lots for tailgating :/
English
@WeOverDidIt @22jenson09 In Europe there are footbridges or underpasses so you don't have to try
English
@salingergregor @MoodyBlueliner If you don’t want to wander around and make random friends, there are also hugely popular tailgates you can “buy” into for like $30 with tons of food and drink and general fun stuff to pregame. No need to buy all the stuff at all.
English
@MoodyBlueliner and pay 300$ on a parking lot and buy all the equipment??
English
has anyone told Americans tailgating is not a thing anywhere else? What is even the nice thing about having a bbq and booze in a parking lot??

All you suckers that love FIFA, it will cost NJ Transit $48 million dollars transporting riders to the matches….AND there is no tailgating. The clueless governor is acting like this wasn’t signed in 2018 and adjusted in 2023. All other host cities are charging fan normal rates. Sherrill and NJ Transit are thinking about charging $100 (normally $12.90) and there is no tailgating. Save your money. Stream it. MetLife sucks anyway…you’re not missing anything. Don’t continue to put up with this crap from her. Philly isn’t charging any additional fees to travel.
English
@ZaaanderSmith It’s not going to be 15 minutes.
But yeah it is a total rip off.
English
£110 for a 15 minute journey to the Metlife stadium. It really is disgusting when you put it into context. Imagine us having a Euro final or World Cup final and we say right its £110 from King's Cross to Wembley would never happen! Rip off American cunts.
English
@HRH_SHP Sometimes servers get assigned to take out as their section for the night. They take the orders and bag and make sure they’re all complete and then process payment. It kind of sucks bc those are all the tips they’re getting for the night. I’m not tipping 20% but I’m not tipping 0
English
Last night I ordered takeout, drove to the restaurant and picked it up. I signed the receipt and didn’t tip on the tip line. I feel guilty and judged every time I do this. No tips on takeout, right?

this isn't a tailgate, this is a peaceful protest using beer, hotdogs and cornhole
Polymarket Sports@PolymarketSport
🚨JUST IN: FIFA has banned tailgating before World Cup matches at major U.S. stadiums. Tailgates are normally free to attend.
