What a parking disaster! I am now rethinking my plan to take my 10-year-old son to the Jets-Redskins game. Is there any bus service from Monmouth County, NJ, to the Meadowlands???

Im sure I will not attend another game this season unless i get one of those parking permits that lets you park in the stadium lot. I love my Jets but i would rather watch from home then have to take a school bus and arrive late to the game. sincerly yours, One very dissapointed Jets fan I went to 2 preseason games this summer and it’s true about parking being a disaster….Im never late to games but because of the parking situation I arrived late to both games…

I don't know if the NFL would be happy with this as they have their early game/late gate schedule, but like Wayne says, if the crowd is not in their seats yet, then this puts a dent in the home team's advantage.

Debacle. I am hearing it is a complete disaster, with all cars routed through one entrance. Prepaid ticket holders go one way, the rest are directed to the satellite lots, where there is a distinct lack of buses. Be forewarned, get there VERY early if you play to actually watch any of the game. Conspiracy theorists alert: Why do you think the Jets finally opened Week One at home, for the first time in recent memory? Guinea pigs.
