Check the event and stadium entry rules
Sports Illustrated Stadium uses mobile tickets and applies screening and bag rules at entry. Before leaving, open your ticket in the Red Bull New York app and check the event-specific details, since entry times can vary.
General-admission gates typically open at least 60 minutes before a match; VIP entrances and premium lounges typically open 90 minutes before. The gate assigned to you appears on your ticket, and the stadium asks guests to use the gate closest to their section.
Bags may be no larger than 14 by 14 by 6 inches. Backpacks and larger bags are prohibited. Medical and baby bags are exceptions to the size limit but are subject to X-ray inspection at Gate B1. A limited number of secure lockers can be rented next to Gate B1 for $5.
All guests go through contactless screening with a walkthrough magnetometer. Bags and vehicles parked on stadium property may also be searched; refusing screening or inspection means you will not be admitted.
Firearms and weapons, coolers, bottles and cans, and noisemakers such as horns, whistles, drums and musical instruments are prohibited. Re-entry is not allowed, so plan to have what you need before you enter.
Children age 2 or older need an individual ticket. Accessible seating is available in all price categories and in various locations, including premium areas. Accessible parking beside Intermex Gate is first-come, first-served.
Elevators are in the middle of the West Building and on the East Side near Sections 127 and 227 and the East VIP entrance; a ramp is by Gate D.
Where can you park for a match or event?
Harrison Public Parking areas are the stadium-area option with published prices ranging from $15 to $30. Newark lots may charge more, and some lots are cashless, so be ready to pay without cash if needed.
Harrison Parking Center is at 890 South 3rd Street, Harrison, NJ. Tailgating is not permitted in Harrison Public Parking lots, and the stadium does not provide shuttle service. For accessible parking, the designated spaces beside Intermex Gate are first-come, first-served.
Parking guidance and prices can vary by event. Check the official site before you go, and confirm payment arrangements for the lot you plan to use.
How do you get to Sports Illustrated Stadium by public transport?
The stadium recommends taking PATH to Harrison Station, which is a short walk from the venue. From Newark Penn Station, the trip involves a PATH connection rather than a direct walk across the Passaic River to the stadium area.
If you’re starting at New York Penn Station, the stadium directions recommend an NJ TRANSIT Northeast Corridor Line or North Jersey Coast Line train to Newark Penn Station. They also list Montclair-Boonton Line and Morris & Essex Line service to Newark Broad Street.
Check NJ TRANSIT’s schedule and trip planner for your travel date. PATH riders should check PATH schedules and service alerts as well. Newark’s public transport and subway connections can help you understand the local network before you travel.
Plan your arrival and departure
Build your arrival around the gate time shown for your event, leaving room for the required screening. For a match, general-admission gates typically open at least 60 minutes beforehand, while VIP entrances and premium lounges typically open 90 minutes beforehand; both timings can vary by event.
Keep your mobile ticket ready in the Red Bull New York app and check the gate printed on it. If you have a permitted medical or baby bag, allow for its X-ray inspection at Gate B1. Because re-entry is prohibited, make any necessary preparations before going through the gates.
After the event, PATH riders will return from Harrison Station, while NJ TRANSIT connections run through Newark Penn Station or Newark Broad Street, depending on the line you use. Check current service information for your event date before setting off.
