I am soooooo jealous of you guys!
The sexiest away friendlies we had (last year) was Stockholm (June) and Kiev (in mid winter). Cookie does not believe in friendlies ... |

Ffs I know of lads who dropped €100 a night in Moldova, dont know how. But $100 for food, drink and transport seems good to me.

Just to warn you guys, I work in NYC and penn station is an absolute sh*tshow right now. Half hour delays during rush hour every single day so give yourselves a little extra time. The connection you make at Secaucus Junction is easy enough. They'll have signs and plenty of announcements. You're looking at about $10 round trip from Penn to the Meadowlands. There's nothing around the stadium itself and you're looking at $13 a pop for a beer so drink as much as you can before hand. If you're not looking to do the trip I know myself and several of my buddies will be tailgating before hand. Just bring some food or beer along.

Presuming it's not the FAI organising it, I'd say you should be grand.

The stadium can be awkward to reach albeit the transport links are good. I'll be walking distance from Penn Station so going from there. There is nothing out in the surrounding area. Stadium food in the U.S. in general is way overpriced and variable quality. I assume travelling fans will most likely be coming from Manhattan. Here are my notes on getting there How do I get to the
Stadium? 2. Take subway lines to 34 St-Penn Station. o Go to any NJ Transit station clerk or Ticket
Vending Machine, and buy a round trip ticket to Meadowlands Station. o Look on the departure boards for the next NJ
Transit train that stops at Secaucus Junction Station. The screen will say
"SEC" next to the line name. o Board that train and ride it to Secaucus
Junction, and then use your ticket to transfer via the escalators to the
Meadowlands Service. How much does the Meadowlands Service ride cost? ·
Penn Station to
Meadowlands Station is $7.75 per person for an off-peak round-trip ticket. How
often do trains run to the stadium? · There are three trains from Penn Station in the first 15 minutes of each hour to Secaucus Junction, and the ride is about 12 minutes. From Secaucus, the ride to the Stadium is about 10 minutes. |

That sounds like a great deal actually. No worries about transport, getting there with good time to tailgate and all you can eat/drink.
Drinking in a bar + transport would easily hit that with tipping and tax and all that shi te. Unless it turns out to be some joke shop operation then it sounds like the makings of a great day!

I may have been a bit hasty and have had a rethink. It's actually $100 without a match ticket. I already have a match ticket so sorted on that front. It is convenient having the bus out there rather than getting public transport. Free food so that's dinner sorted and I'm sure I could get my money's worth of free drink.
