You still can't walk to NY/NJ Stadium for World Cup matches

NBC New York reports that pedestrian access to NY/NJ Stadium for World Cup matches remains prohibited, with officials installing no-pedestrian signs on highways near the venue ahead of the Brazil-Morocco match on Saturday. The article provides specific transit costs (NJ Transit round-trip at $98, shuttles at $20, Uber shuttles at $49) and explains the safety rationale—highways lack sidewalks and feature multiple traffic lanes. The reporting includes a named reporter (Adam Harding) who documented signage, a direct quote from NYC DOT discouraging walking attempts, and reflects local news standards with accessible details for readers. Independent search results from Gothamist and other outlets corroborate the transportation restrictions and add complementary context about free ticket programs and watch party alternatives for fans seeking cost-effective World Cup access. Readers should monitor whether the reduced shuttle costs (down from initial prices) continue to address affordability concerns or whether additional transportation options emerge as match dates approach.
