.... And Mets fans are generally a fun group to be around. Mets are hot, so should be a big crowd. Assume you are a Bucs fan. If so, bring home a victory for them!Food- is awesome. Shake Shack (get there early), Blue Smoke, Pat LaFrieda meatball sliders, Box Frites. All of those are in center field
Take the 7 train
Sitting down 3b line/ LF is good and usually cheap; a lot of people like Pepsi Porch in RF but Ive never been there
C66, could he also pick-up the 7 near 5th Ave if he's staying somewhere closer to there?Agree with rugger for taking the train. Park at Port Authority and walk one block east on 42nd street to the Times Square subway stop. Take the #7 train which will drop you off right at the stadium (Mets-Willis Point stop) http://web.mta.info/nyct/service/sevenlin.htm
Given that, I'd take C66's advice and park at the Port Authority and catch the 7 at the Times Square subway stop. Take 41st street after you exit Lincoln Tunnels and you will see Port Authority. Get there early and traffic shouldn't be a big problem on Sunday. Have a good time.We are actually driving out 80 from PA the morning of the game and heading back after. Would love to stay but have commitments that make this a day trip. Is there somewhere safe and easy to stop and catch the 7 or LIIR?
As a Mets fan, you've picked a good time to go! The stadium is rocking right now from what I've been reading because the Mets haven't lead their division this late in a season since they left Shea. I watched the game on ESPN Sunday night and it looked like a great time..... And Mets fans are generally a fun group to be around. Mets are hot, so should be a big crowd. Assume you are a Bucs fan.

I can't answer that question having never taken that route. Always take the Lincoln Tunnels because I stay in Manhattan. My guess is that driving into Manhattan would be quicker because it is a Sunday. Remember though, it is Manhattan and traffic can be unpredictable. Maybe a NYC resident on the board can better answer this.What kind of time will it take for the ferry rides and 7 vs driving whole way vs driving to port authority and taking the 7 ?
Ferry ride is seven minutes across the river and the free shuttle bus from the 39th street pier to 42nd/Times Square where you get the #7 is maybe another 10-12 minutes depending on traffic. Shouldn't be much traffic the time you would be coming on a Sunday. Ferry leaves Weehawken for 39th street every 20 minutes and the same applys on the return trip.What kind of time will it take for the ferry rides and 7 vs driving whole way vs driving to port authority and taking the 7 ?
I live about 15 minutes north of the GWB. If I was going to the game, I would just drive to the stadium. Going from car to ferry to bus to subway is a pain and the ferry ain't cheap. Getting through the Lincoln Tunnel can be hit or miss and probably won't get you into Manhattan any quicker than the bridge.
Easy to suggest driving to Citi when one lives a scant 15 minutes from the bridge but he is coming from PA with a drive that is considerably longer and takes him into Queens on roads he is likely unfamiliar with.
My only question is what will the road out traffic wise be like after the game. Of course, I guess that applies no matter. Not from NYC area, but do get there often.He's coming a long way so why add at least another 1/2 hour in each direction to his trip if he follows your device? And what Queens roads are you talking about? It's one road to the Triborough Bridge and one more to the stadium.

I would travel into the city then park near the Garden/Penn Station. Sunday morning is dead as far as traffic. You can even search parking lots/garages online and they include pricing info. Then go to Penn Station, buy R/T tix and hop on the LIRR to Mets/Willets Point. They are on a schedule and much more civilized than the subway IMHO. Just a stroll on the boardwalk over from the National Tennis Center to Citi Field. If your tix get you in a club I would see if you can make a reservation for lunch around 11:30. Have some bacon on a stick later from Pig Guy NYC. It's a great park. I like it better than most I have been to, including PNC.traveling out to see the mets vs Pirate game there next Sunday at 1:10.
