Train service to U2 Gaints stadium

You can take the train now right to the front door of the stadium

TAKE THE NEW MEADOWLANDS RAIL
Avoid the hassles of driving and take the train to the concert! The New Meadowlands Rail Line is the best way to get to and from the U2 concert. Operated by NJ TRANSIT, trip time to Giants Stadium is just a short 10 minutes from the Frank R. Lautenberg Station at Secaucus Junction.
What fans need to know:
• The new rail line gives New Jersey fans statewide rail access to the Meadowlands Sports Complex with connections at Hoboken Terminal and Secaucus Junction. Fans coming from NYC connect through Penn Station New York.
• Trains will operate between Hoboken, Secaucus Junction and the Meadowlands Rail Station beginning at 3:20 PM (approximately 3-1/2 hours before the concert). There will be no mass transportation service available to the Meadowlands Sports Complex prior to 3:20 PM.
• The Meadowlands Train Station is located near Gate B at Giants Stadium.

• Return rail service begins immediately after the concert ends and will continue to operate for 2 hours after the event.
• THERE IS NO EVENT BUS SERVICE (#351) FROM NY PORT AUTHORITY FOR THE U2 CONCERTS.

• Purchase round-trip tickets in advance from any NJ TRANSIT rail ticket vending machine or ticket office. Select “Meadowlands Sports Complex” as your destination. (On older ticket vending machines, use station code 410.).
• On the train, present your ticket to the conductor. If you are connecting at Secaucus Junction, your ticket will be returned to you.
• Customers connecting from Northeast Corridor or North Jersey Coast Line trains must use their ticket to pass through the fare gates at Secaucus Junction. Each ticket will open the fare gate one time.
• Trains to the Meadowlands depart from the lower level.
