For those traveling from Philadelphia, there are multiple ways to get to the stadium. Driving remains the quickest option, with routes via I-95 North or the New Jersey Turnpike. Parking lots around MetLife are available but usually sell out early, so it’s best to reserve through TicketMaster or ParkWhiz, with costs ranging from $30–50 depending on location. Public transportation is also accessible, with Greyhound and Megabus buses from Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station into New York City, where fans can connect to NJ Transit trains that go directly to the stadium. The trip typically takes 2.5 to 3 hours. Train travelers can also depart from 30th Street Station via Amtrak or NJ Transit to Secaucus Junction, then transfer onto the Meadowlands Rail Line. Tickets usually range from $15–30 one way. For those preferring ride-sharing, an Uber or Lyft from Philadelphia to MetLife generally costs $100–150.
Tickets are officially available on the Philadelphia Eagles website or by calling 215-463-5500. Platforms like SeatGeek and TicketMaster also list options, with prices starting around $130, though premium seating is higher. International fans can secure tickets on Klook starting from $57. Eagles supporters usually gather in Sections 100–200 for closer views, or Section 300 for more affordable seats with solid sightlines. Premium Club Level seating at MetLife begins at $300 for those seeking a VIP experience.
If you can’t make the trip, plenty of options exist to follow the action.

MetLife Stadium holds over 82,500 fans and provides several fan-friendly amenities. Food stands will feature stadium staples along with Philly cheesesteaks, while massive screens ensure no one misses a play. Tailgating, always a highlight, begins 2–3 hours before kickoff, bringing together thousands of Eagles and Jets fans. Fans should note the stadium’s clear bag policy and arrive early to avoid security delays.
On the field, the Eagles enter the matchup highly rated following their Super Bowl LIX victory and hold a 6-point edge on FanDuel’s betting line. While the preseason is a chance to rotate younger players, stars like Jalen Hurts are expected to suit up, with Aaron Rodgers potentially leading the Jets. Weather in late August around New Jersey is usually mild, between 68–77°F (20–25°C), perfect for an outdoor football atmosphere.
