New SHI Stadium Entry Rules

[Knight Shift]

Rutgers will introduce security enhancement at all SHI Stadium gates with the implementation of a new walk-through weapons detection system. Fans are advised to arrive early to ensure a smooth entry into the stadium before kickoff. The system, familiar to spectators who have attended other events in the region, does not require individuals to empty their pockets to enter. Those attending the event are asked to follow the instructions of public safety personnel.

The bag policy from previous years remains in place, but fans with bags must enter through North Gate C, Auxiliary Gate 1, Auxiliary Gate 2 or between Gates G & H (students gate) for inspection. All other gates will not accept bags.

CASHLESS
SHI Stadium is now cashless at all merchandise and concession stands with the exception of parking lots, the ticket office and food trucks on The Rutgers Boardwalk. Cash-to-card kiosks (no fees) are available at sections 104 and 124 to convert cash to a debit card. Cards can be loaded for any value up to $500 and cards will work anywhere in the U.S. that accepts MasterCard. No cardholder information is gathered, while purchases and refunds are handled like any other credit card.

THE RED ZONE
A new Amazon Go concession stand, The Red Zone, is located on the first level near the southeast corner of SHI Stadium (behind section 127). Customers enter using a credit card or Amazon One to open an entry gate and start shopping. After shopping, walk through an exit gate and the payment system on file will charge for only what is taken out of the store.

Has the Belmar Beach constabulary been hired to assure compliance?

speaking of cash, I wonder how much of that cash from game day parking back in the day ended up in someone's pocket. No parking passes back then it was drive in, pay the guy and find a spot. Would have made a good Soprano's episode shaking down the parking lot guys

 

[Knight Shift]

No new EGG detection procedures could be a real problem.

 

[DJ Spanky]

Oh for gods sake.

What's next, implementing a full body orifice search?

 

[bac2therac]

Awful that its cashless

 

[Local Shill]

Fans can bring an entire meal into MetLife Stadium with no issue, but if someone dared trying to enter SHI Stadium with an apple, it would be immediately confiscated. sigh. Another year of stuffing water bottles, and food in my shorts and my and my shirt.

 

[RU-Kidding]

Awful that its cashless

I assume they are not accessing a credit card use fee like restaurants do since there is not a cash option inside the stadium??

And here I thought you were just happy to be there.

I stuffed a knockwurst in my shorts, and nobody except my wife noticed. 🥶

In preparation for the 2024 football season, Rutgers advises fans on several changes, upgrades and reminders before visiting SHI Stadium.

Suck it up, buttercups, it is the way of the world. They have not accepted traveler's checks for a while too. Just got Nebraska's rules:

If that was the case, would you purchase more season tickets for yourself in order to leave and re-enter?

 

[UMRU]

To simplify, maybe this should read "all groups with wives and/or children must enter through North Gate C, etc".

 

[RU#1fan]

Assume you can still use credit cards for purchases. The cash to card kiosk is an option for those who have cash only / no cc’s.

Amazon does such a great (and terrible) job of letting you spend money without noticing It. I have to point out to my wife once a year that the magic box delivery fairy isn’t free

Have noticed that their delivery drivers are back down to the large vans. During the pandemic and for a couple of years after, most of their deliveries were from private vehicles. Several of them drove off our driveway an on our lawn. We filed a couple of claims when they left ruts in the lawn, and Amazon paid what we requested without asking any questions. One guy went 4 feet oft he driveway during a storm and left 6 inch deep ruts in the lawn.

I like this alternative, as nobody will drive over my lawn.

Hmmmmmmm..................

First cashless, next crotchless.

It sounds amazing, and honestly like the type of feature that would never happen at Rutgers lol.

Looking forward to it!

 

[MGSA99]

No complaining about how the stands aren't full by the end of the 1st quarter.

 

[knightfan7]

No matter whatever fakakta entry system they use, people will still get to the gates right before kickoff, and complain about missing some part of the game.

 

[Brisket and Bourbon]

Cashless will be hilarious when the inevitable massive hack takes place…or a carrington event ☀️

Guessing you don't manage to get out of that EMP bunker much these days. Sports and entertainment venues are all starting to trend (or have already changed to) cashless.

 

[Rutgers NJ]

First cashless, next crotchless.

Oh, to be young again!!!

 

[Plum Street]

Suck it up, buttercups, it is the way of the world. They have not accepted traveler's checks for a while too. Just got Nebraska's rules:

Television timeout clock is a good idea

The key to avoiding men’s room lines and not missing game action is by accurately predicting an upcoming television timeout .
Plum knows !

 

[WhiteBus]

Rutgers will introduce security enhancement at all SHI Stadium gates where nobody will be allowed in just in case COVID reemerges. Rutgers thanks their fans for understanding.
Signed
Pat Hobbs

So this is why he resigned immediately! Holloway forced him to do this!

 

[mildone]

All seems pretty reasonable to me. Better security is just smart. Is just a matter of time before a terrorist attack on a stadium or three, so the harder our stadium, the better. And I’ve always preferred not using cash. Why does anybody want to use cash anymore?

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

At least now Rutgers can blame the fans for the usual ridiculous backups at the gates and say.. "We Told You So". How about trusting the fans until the fans do something wrong? How about reducing barriers to entry for once?

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

Why does anybody want to use cash anymore?

While it is not a Rutgers-specific issue.. consider the protesting Canadian truckers and how their bank accounts were froze. Our cash says Legal Tender for all debts public and private. The day there is no more cash then the government can freeze/seize your assets by flippin' a bit.

Did you know of the cases where people were taking flights with $5K or more in cash and the DEA intercepted them and seized the cash regardless of the fact that it is perfectly legal to travel with cash? That then starts a whole red-tape and courts rigamarole to get the cash back... if you ever get it back.

That's what this cashless thing at Rutgers signifies. Just another step toward Big Brother. I probably should add I thought going all digital was a good thing at one point.. to put the hidden economy on the tax rolls... now.. I think there is more danger going that way.

Of course, the SHI Stadium map on the RU Athletics web site doesn't show an Auxiliary 1 or Auxiliary 2 gate!

It's in the linked document in the OP...lol. Look for the map under the section titled Bag Policy.

Does this mean bartering livestock is no longer an accepted means of payment in Nebraska? Say it ain't so.
