The general travel instructions apply to most travelers, but please look at these links based on your own travel plans.

• NJ Transit Trip Planner
• Newark Airport Travel Advisory - much higher volume and wait times
• Arriving in NYC - NJTransit "In the four hours leading up to kickoff, access to NJ TRANSIT trains and station waiting areas at Penn Station New York and Secaucus Junction will be limited to customers traveling to the stadium, to safely accommodate the high volume of match day travel."  This means from 11:00am to 3:00pm, you can't use New York Penn Station to get a train to Princeton.
  • Customers not attending the match will have their NJ TRANSIT rail ticket cross-honored for travel via PATH at 33rd Street and 6th Avenue (Herald Square) to Newark Penn Station or Hoboken Terminal for connections to other NJ TRANSIT destinations.
