Lots of people going to the SB will be "tourist = non-locals", which will probably cause a more than normal mess (traffic wise). Does anyone know what they officially expect.
In another thread in this forum (about getting to LGA), evolved into problems of getting to the Meadowland (=Met Life) Stadium on a (normal) football Sunday.
Two side observations:
Back in 2009 I was returning by bus from Atlantic City, busses were an hour or more off schedule--the driver claimed it was traffic getting to a Saturday World Series game--all highways (NJ Tpke, GSP) were backed up.
There were plans to build a stadium on the west side of Manhattan in the 30's, right now traffic in and out of Manhattan's Lincoln Tunnel is at near gridlock on Sunday afternoons--if that stadium were to have been built, I envision people getting in and out of NY by Midnight
