Has Rutgers offered tickets to fans yet for the away games? Have not been paying attention.
I think they did. I vaguely remember an email. Will reach out to my rep tomorrow

Has Rutgers offered tickets to fans yet for the away games? Have not been paying attention.
My group also booked here. Seems to be the cheapest Marriott in the area, so our points covered it.Have not decided yet on where to get tickets. I am always in angst...seats where you can see things vs seats with fellow RU fans.
There's a few of us booked into the Newton Marriott. About a 10 minute Uber from there to the stadium. Taking Amtrak up to avoid driving on LDW & avoid the hassle of flying
Confirm what someone else confirmed above, please.I live in the city proper right in the South End. My suggestion especially on Labor Day weekend would be to take the Acela or Northeast regional into Back Bay Station or South Station.
Hotels aren’t necessarily cheap but are better options than airbnb in my experience. If staying near Back Bay station, there is a Marriott and Westin Copley right near the train station.
For tailgating, whoever suggested going to Fenway area is on the right track, lot of great food and bar options and it is walkable if you are staying in the city. The sox are home that weekend so may be tough to rent a bar out but doable.
Alumni Stadium is a 25 minute uber from the city and you can also take the Green Line to BC which isnt too bad. Trolley style type train with cars on the street so cool experience if youre inclined.
Happy to answer any and all questions - where to stay, what to do, what to eat etc.
I think you should be ok Saturday morning going North and onto the mass pike that early. From New Haven should take you a little under two hours with no traffic.Confirm what someone else confirmed above, please.
We should be OK with: Driving up early (8 a.m.) Saturday morning from New Haven area to Riverside Station of Green Line and taking Green Line to Chestnut Hill Station. Seems to be ample, cheap parking at Riverside Station (we don't plan to tailgate).
After the game, we will be driving to Brewster, MA. May be easier driving from Riverside compared to driving from Boston? The drive is about 90 miles. We should expect at least some traffic.
Fantastic. We had originally planned to go the reverse route- drive to Brewster from NJ, then up to Boston/Riverside, but we changed out plans, which should work out for the better. Thank you!I think you should be ok Saturday morning going North and onto the mass pike that early. From New Haven should take you a little under two hours with no traffic.
You should be okay driving into the cape after the game in the evening from Riverside because you will avoid 93 south from Boston which can be a disaster. There shouldnt be much traffic getting onto the cape to be honest you will be going through there around 6 and should be smooth driving.
I would also avoid 95. My thought would be Merritt Pkwy north > 84 > Mass PikeI think you should be ok Saturday morning going North and onto the mass pike that early. From New Haven should take you a little under two hours with no traffic.

Exactly how I go as well.From Central Jersey I always go 287 to Tappan Zee to 684 to 84 to 90. Usually never fails and I go up a few times a year.
Check on the BC site. I thought I saw good seats for like 40 or 60 bucks not too long ago.I just looked at the stub hub prices 🤣🤣🤣. $100 for end zone tickets. $350 for lower level 50 yard line. I think we'll wait awhile
You don’t go the way your phone tells you?Exactly how I go as well.
Ive been doing that drive from CT to NJ and now Boston my whole life. Went to FDU for undergrad. Could practically do it with my eyes closed at this point 😂You don’t go the way your phone tells you?
Stadium not that large- Upper deck seats should be fine?Check on the BC site. I thought I saw good seats for like 40 or 60 bucks not too long ago.
Yes the upper deck is very similar to UConn for those who can relate and have made the trip back in the day. Not high up at all with good sight lines.Stadium not that large- Upper deck seats should be fine?
Yes, went up 3 or 4 times during big east timesTailgating and bars are nearly nonexistent there.
Best recommendation is for nuts or somebody to organize a group to rent out a bar near Fenway (Bleacher bar is my favorite and has this option as they are the official game watching bar for the Buffalo Bills).
Then hop on the T and head down Brookline Avenue to Chestnut Hill
Upper deck is essentially right above the field so it has good sight lines. I'm sure it being Labor Day weekend you could move around the stadium as you please to find whatever seats you like.Stadium not that large- Upper deck seats should be fine?
As Arnold said in Terminator 3: “Don’t do dat”Ive been doing that drive from CT to NJ and now Boston my whole life. Went to FDU for undergrad. Could practically do it with my eyes closed at this point 😂
Consider jumping on the Saw Mill River Parkway - North just after leaving the Tappan Zee Bridge. It will take you right to 684 North in Katonah. Saves you about 20 minutes from driving across 287 over to the start of 684. Been doing that route forever.From Central Jersey I always go 287 to Tappan Zee to 684 to 84 to 90.

Sometimes the Saw Mill River Parkway is jammed with traffic. We've been taking that for the last couple of years, and we let Waze tell us which road to take.Consider jumping on the Saw Mill River Parkway - North just after leaving the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Not a big fan of the Saw Mill because there are still lights there for some of it.Consider jumping on the Saw Mill River Parkway - North just after leaving the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Depends on the time of day. Rush hour yes you might see some traffic at the lights. Otherwise a minor issue. The miles you save are significant….going diagonally thru Westchester rather straight East and then straight North up 684.Not a big fan of the Saw Mill because there are still lights there for some of it.

Can anyone advise if parking at Riverside needs to be pre-purchased or can you just pay upon arrival on the day of the game?I think you should be ok Saturday morning going North and onto the mass pike that early. From New Haven should take you a little under two hours with no traffic.

AFAIK, does not need to be pre-purchased. Think you can use a parking App PayByPhone:Can anyone advise if parking at Riverside needs to be pre-purchased or can you just pay upon arrival on the day of the game?
Thanks.
Do you know if it’s possible to have a small tailgate in this parking lot?AFAIK, does not need to be pre-purchased. Think you can use a parking App PayByPhone:

I don't see anything in their rules that prohibit it, but I doubt it. The lots are patrolled according to the link below. You can e-mail them a question to see.Do you know if it’s possible to have a small tailgate in this parking lot?
I, unfortunately, also doubt it. Seems like no bars around that are open near the station. Just nothing going on. Might try to just get away with tailgating there anyway.I don't see anything in their rules that prohibit it, but I doubt it. The lots are patrolled according to the link below.

Also, it seems you must pay by midnight the night before the park, or they will invoice you and charge you an additional $1. I'm only relaying what I see, don't know if it is accurate. If I am wrong, I will be handing out dollars in Section Q at the game.

If you park in a far corner of the lot and keep it low key, perhaps they will leave you alone. Just hope that MCSO's are not on loan and patrolling the lots on their ATVs. 🤣I

Bring some offer to Section O also… hahaI don't see anything in their rules that prohibit it, but I doubt it. The lots are patrolled according to the link below. You can e-mail them a question to see.
