On your way to see Ronda Rousey, Daniel Bryan, Brock Lesnar and other WWE superstars at WrestleMania 35 at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night? Here's your guide for making the trip a little bit easier.
TIME
The event starts at 5:30 p.m., but MetLife Stadium recommends arriving early and allowing extra travel time due to regional traffic. Gates to the stadium open at 3:30 p.m.
PARKING
The stadium's parking lots will open at 11 a.m. Day-of-event parking costs $40 for cars and $160 for buses and RVs.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
NJ Transit
NJ Transit will be running special Meadowlands rail shuttle and bus service. Bus service will begin at 11 a.m. from Secaucus Junction and continue until rail service begins at 2:41 p.m.
Limited direct service from Hoboken to MetLife will begin at 2:30 p.m. Outside of the direct-service times, commuters coming from Hoboken may take any Main, Bergen County, Pascack Valley or Port Jervis Line train to Secaucus and transfer to Meadowlands-bound trains.
There is no direct service from Penn Station to MetLife, so public-transportation commuters coming from the city must travel through Secaucus or take a Coach USA bus from Port Authority (see below).
