Husker fan looking for game day info. Haven't seen a Husker game in many years so I am very excited to see them this coming week up in NJ!
Would someone be kind enough to provide some basic game day info about Rutgers football? Parking, food, game day atmosphere, local bars, etc
Thanks!
Hi, welcome. A lot of folks are busy sulking. Rightfully so, after getting pummeled the last 3 games.
You coming up for the day or staying overnight?
1. Parking--if you do not have a pass, you can park at the RAC and take a bus over to the stadium.
2. There should not be a real high demand for this game, and if you get there early enough (1 p.m.?), you can park across from the stadium at Johnson Park, or at the Greek Church. Options are here:

3. A very easy option if you don't plan on tailgating is to take the train from Princeton Junction or Trenton to the New Brunswick stop.
4. Food is mediocre in the stadium. Hot pretzels are good. You can bring in unopened bottles of water with you.
5. We have been told by many visitors that our game day atmosphere and tail gating is outstanding. We are friendly, and we welcome our visitors, except our neighbors to the west. Best tailgating can be found in the Blue Lot, which you can find in the link above.
6. Bars and Food. Old Queens is our historic Rutgers bar. Most of the bars are on Easton Ave, and there are more on George Street. Stuff Yer Face is worth a stop for a stromboli, and if the weather cooperates, their outside bar is OK.
Hope you have a pleasant visit.
