New Yorkers to World Cup Fans: Please Don’t Walk to MetLife

Why, some European soccer fans wondered, couldn’t they simply walk to MetLife Stadium? Surely a stadium near New York City would welcome pedestrians.

Obsessed with this Dutchman who: > isn’t going to the World Cup > criticises fans for giving up on the prospect of walking across motorways and swamps to get to the stadium because they “think it’s too hard” > clarifies, if he was going, he would not walk there www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/s...

How ridiculous, to build a stadium that’s unsafe to approach on foot! We should stop doing this sort of thing. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/s...

Yeesh. I remember what the walk was like just trying to get from parking when I went to see Springsteen during the "Born In The USA" tour. #Meadowlands #WorldCup #FIFA www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/s...

Kind of obsessed with this debate about whether people should walk to MetLife Stadium to avoid the extortionist NJ Transit fares to the World Cup www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/s...

I would absolutely try walking there if I lived near enough to do it for science!! https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/style/world-cup-metlife-walking-new-jersey.html

www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/s... It strikes me that it is nuts to build anything that attracts large groups of people that they can’t walk to. This is such an American problem.
