Hello everyone!
Going in December. Is the 200 sections near the end zone a good spot? Trying to find tickets. Prefer the last row. How many rows are there?!

Hello everyone! Going in December. Is the 200 sections near the end zone a good spot? Trying to find tickets. Prefer the last row. How many rows are there?! look it up at the Met Life web site. Gives you all the info you need. Have fun and enjoy. Gates open 5 hours before kick off time. I suggest to plan an a great tail gate. Its the one of the best parts of the day. |

The 200 sections are the mezz which could provide you with weather coverage. The rows vary greatly by section. Use this and zoom in on the map to see the exact numer of rows per section: Exact seat views can be found here: I like the endzone seats because they tend to draw a more raucous crowd (just my opinion) and they're great when the opposing team is backed up on your end or after a Giants score. It's a pretty good vantage up until the action gets to the opposite side of midfied then you end up looking at the huge video boards which isn't terrible. Enjoy! |

What about Parking? Is platinum that much better than the gold parking? |

I don’t want to have to walk a mile To leave and would prefer the easiest route to drive out of the stadium after the game as well. |

Thanks for the help! What about Parking? Is platinum that much better than the gold parking? unless you are compromised physically just get the blue passes. The Giants in their infinite wisdon swapped from Blue and Red passes to Gold (standard) and Platinum (premium). Most of the tailgating occurs in the Gold lots which represents a majority of the lots:  Feel free to swing by L-6 for a beer of twenty. |

The price difference is roughly 100 dollars to go from platinum to gold is it that big of a difference walking? Like I said I know it’s not realistic to be able to leave the game and drive right out but we do have a 3 hour ride home so would prefer the best route and if platinum or gold makes a difference in that aspect |

We unknowingly benefitted from this several years ago. Drizzled on and off. I believe it was at this game Giants VS Bears (Odell threw TD pass) that I learned yoga pants and thigh high boots is a thing. Oh, and topped off with a ladies Giants jersey. Some high fashion at December Giants games. |

Unless you park at the very end of J, K or P and leave before the rest of the crowd does (which varies greatly on the game itself) you're going to hit a ton of traffic. I see people leaving at the half and end of the third regardless of the game just to beat the traffic. I'm lucky enough to live 15 minutes from the stadium so we'll hang out post-game and watch the 4pm games then bounce.....by then all the stadium traffic has dissipated but if you're going through NYC on a Sunday afternoon/night Northeast NJ traffic can be pretty brutal depending on where you're going. |

We have also done this when we left our vehicle at the hotel and grabbed an uber from the train drop off location to the hotel. |

I live upstate NY in Binghamton so figured I’d get home around 8 if game ends at 4. So parking really doesn’t matter for convenience

I don’t want to have to walk a mile To leave and would prefer the easiest route to drive out of the stadium after the game as well. my apologies. I didnt realize the previous blue passes are now gold. The only way you get out without an issue is to leave early. Walking a mile? Its not bad at all unless like I mentioned if you are physically compromised. This was my day when going to a 1PM game: ( or 4PM or night game. The plan is the same I just adjust the times) 1- Get to the lot at 0900 and start tail-gating. Food and beverage. Play catch etc. Have great time with your group or the surrounding fans. 2- Start to walk inside about 12:30. Drink the last beer if thats your thing and get pumped up for the game. ( the last ten years this has been an issue...lol) 3- I very rarely eat or drink anything more than water inside unless I sneak in a few airline bottle of JD. Too expensive and it my time to sober up and not get more drunk. Although now with life changes I hardly drink at all so am sober when I get in too. 4- 99% of the time I stay until the end of the game 5- Make our way back out to the parking lot. 6- Fire the grill back up and hang for another hour or so until the lot clears out. 7- Go home either pissed they lost or psyched they won. I always plan on it being a very long day and I am not looking to rush anything. |

It is roughly 3 hours from here to MetLife. I just ordered tickets last hurdle is the parking pass but if everyone is saying the Gold/Platinum is no difference I’ll save myself 80 bucks and get the gold |

Its a very odd set up IMO. |

PARK NEAR AN EXIT. And make sure your car is pointed towards the exit so you don't have to back up. The further away from the stadium you park, the better the spot. |

Getting their early also gets you in with out waiting on the lot entrance lines too long as well. maybe get a room the night before and make a weekend of it!! |

Do they just put you wherever once you get there? Why are some gold parking passes almost double in price |

Do they just put you wherever once you get there? Why are some gold parking passes almost double in price I am not sure as I have not been there in two seasons. In the past the blue passes were general parking, and if early enough, you can go where you want in the designated areas. We always met at "J12" so it made it easy for me to get to a spot. |

BTW....is it too much to ask for them to put in escalators instead of having everyone trudge up a ramp to get to the walk over bridge?
