Maybe the rest of you can correct me if I’m wrong. It’s been a while.

Getting to meadowlands from NYC is straightforward as long as NJTRANSIT is going there.

Getting home after is worse. Be prepared to wait in line for a train home.

Hotels around MetLife charge Manhattan rates if there is anything happening at MetLife at night.

Options to get from your hotel in NJ to MetLife are not good. If you have a car/rental, you can drive it, but you will be waiting in line to get in, and have to pay a decent amount.
