Can I tailgate?

The parking lots are open FIVE hours prior to gametime.
Tailgating has become a ritual at the stadium and is permitted provided guests tailgate in the same space occupied by their vehicle. Please be courteous to your fellow fans -- open parking spaces should not be used for tailgating. The NJSEA and the Jets are actively monitoring all lots with additional security and there are increased patrols to enforce the one car, one spot policy.
Ticket holders may not reserve adjacent parking spaces for others.
Tailgating is not permitted in the parking garage which is located next to Continental Airlines Arena.
If you have a large tailgate party, stadium management strongly encourages you to arrive early and use the grass berms and paved areas on the islands located between the parking lots. This will allow you to fully enjoy your party while being courteous to your fellow fans.
Grills are permitted for tailgating enjoyment, provided guests do so only in the same space occupied by their vehicle. However, their use near buildings or in areas where guests or property may be damaged is strictly prohibited.
Please do not discard hot coals near vehicles or in plastic waste receptacles; there have been several car and trash fires over the past few years. For your safety and convenience, hot coal bins have been provided for the disposal of charcoal. These large, orange “hot charcoal” bins are located on the islands/plazas between the parking lots. PLEASE DO NOT DISCARD TRASH IN THE HOT COAL BINS OR HOT COAL ASHES IN THE TRASH CONTAINERS.
Open fires are not permitted
Trash receptacles are located throughout the Sports Complex parking lots and near the stadium entrances. Please bag and dispose of your trash to make it safer for vehicles exiting the Sports Complex after the game.
Outside catering companies are not permitted on the Sports Complex. ARAMARK is the official food service provider/caterer for the Meadowlands Sports Complex. To schedule a catered event, please contact ARAMARK at (201) 935-5660.
Ball playing in the Stadium parking lots and roadways is a safety hazard and is not permitted. Many injuries occur as a result of these activities.

What is the text messaging system?

A text messaging system is in place to enable fans to notify stadium security of any incidents while they are in the stadium. A similar system was successfully implemented by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2007. The teamworks closely with the NJSEA to respond to complaints of improper fan behavior. The NJSEA is proactively monitoring and issuing warnings. Bad behavior will not be tolerated.

To text: Open a blank text message and address the message to 78247. Type the word NJSEA followed by a space, the issue and the location.

What will happen to someone who is ejected from a game?

Any Jets season ticket holder who is ejected from a game will have his/her season tickets revoked. If a non-season ticket holder is ejected, the ticket holder of record will be warned by letter of the incident and informed that a second ejection will lead to the revocation of his/her season tickets. If a fan uses TicketExchange to purchase tickets, he/she is required to agree to the Fan Code of Conduct before being allowed to purchase the tickets.

When is Jets Fan Appreciation Day?

The team holds a Fan Appreciation Day each season. In 2009 Fan Appreciation Day was held on October 18th when the Jets played division rivals, the Buffalo Bills at the Meadowlands. Fan Appreciation Day featured sponsor giveaways, great prizes, and other activities where we hoped we expressed to you, our fans, how important you are to our history, our success and our future.
