We have a Boardwalk pre-game, usually 3-4 hours before kickoff. Fun things for kids, a ride (last week was ferris wheel), bouncy house things, and food trucks.Headed up with my wife and two young daughters. What are the best spots to hit. Basically looking for food, booze and football related activities around the stadium on Friday.

What’s your game parking situation ?The Doubletree Somerset I believe.
Looking to figure that all out. Having the little ones with me, just looking for the easiest in and out. Was also looking at just taking an Uber, but didn't know how shitty the traffic was around the stadium and if that was worth it or not.What’s your game parking situation ?

You can look on this forum for parking passes. Yellow is the easiest in/out lot.Looking to figure that all out. Having the little ones with me, just looking for the easiest in and out.

Thanks for all of the info. Appreciate it.The stadium is in piscataway .
Friday day you can Uber to New Brunswick - that is where the main campus and stuffyer face is . Bars , restaurants , and the campus to see there .
then head over to the stadium early via shuttle bus or Uber and do the boardwalk . Or maybe someone here will invite you to a tailgate.
Postgame you might need to go back on shuttle bus to New Brunswick and then get an Uber from there . I am not sure what the Uber pickup situation is postgame is so you might need to get away from the stadium so the Uber can get to you

Just a heads up for you. I tried to Uber back to New Brunswick after a game last year and they could not figure out how to come get me. After trying numerous times, I ended up walking back.Postgame you might need to go back on shuttle bus to New Brunswick and then get an Uber from there .

Yes, what else was I going to do?You walked back to Colorado ? 😂
Not surprised the stadium area and Busch campus is a mess for Uber pickups postgame .
Lubrano's has some good pizza. Walking distance from the DT I do believe.The Doubletree Somerset I believe.
Agreed, very good pizza. But that's a decent ways up Easton Ave, more in Somerset. Would have to drive there.Lubrano's has some good pizza. Walking distance from the DT I do believe.

A good amount of the places in the links and sublinks are permanently closed.Game Day and Travel Advice for Visiting Fans
So we are getting a lot of interest from visitors who are coming out for some of our home games, particularly the one against Iowa. So I thought it would be good to aggregate links to these threads as a kind of one stop shop for them. If you know of others, PM the links to me. Question from an...rutgers.forums.rivals.com

He says he’s staying in Somerset at the Doubletree. That’s right near there. Short distance as the crow flies but not sure about walking since the DT is on a dead end road. I used to work on Davidson at MetLife before they moved the whole operation to NC, then SHI took it over. Lubrano’s was my go-to when Rome in Dunellen was closedAgreed, very good pizza. But that's a decent ways up Easton Ave, more in Somerset. Would have to drive there.
The hotel is about 10 minutes away from downtown New Brunswick, which is where the college bars are.The Doubletree Somerset I believe.
Enjoy your time in Jersey! Are the kids school aged or are they younger? I would recommend different options depending on that.Headed up with my wife and two young daughters.

google maps makes me think you CAN walk from somerset doubletree to jersey cyclone.. slightly creative walking leaving one parking lot across grass to another road.......
While not college bar places, if you like craft beer there is a pretty good brewery next to the hotel, Jersey Cyclone. It's in an industrial building that is a street over, not sure if you can walk there from the hotel or not, but I think you can. They don't serve food, because of stupid NJ laws, but you can order from somewhere else or bring in food. They allow kids to sit at the tables with you while you enjoy a couple of flights. The next street over is Taphouse 20/20 which has good bar food and an excellent beer list.

Just to set the right expectations, it's not as good as Boiler Brewing in Lincoln.While not college bar places, if you like craft beer there is a pretty good brewery next to the hotel, Jersey Cyclone.

Ya gotta watch it with the easy in and out. That’s how ya wind up with even more little ones.Looking to figure that all out. Having the little ones with me, just looking for the easiest in and out.
