2026 Traffic Patterns & Parking

POSTGAME TRAFFIC PATTERN
Traffic patterns, parking and pedestrian flow have been modified for the 2026 season. Fans are expected to see an improved process for ingress and egress at the parking lots and gates at SHI Stadium.- In coordination with WSP and Rutgers University Public Safety, traffic patterns have been adjusted to provide optimal routes for fans traveling away from the stadium.
- New NJDOT approved lane mergers and exit points will be utilized to maximize roadway capacity and improve traffic flow.
- A dedicated bus lane will allow shuttle buses to operate more efficiently for return trips to Jersey Mike’s Arena postgame.
- Two full egress lanes from the Green and Scarlet Lots onto River Road through Hoes Lane will provide increased outbound capacity.
- Green Lot: Fans will be required to exit the parking lot and make a right onto River Road to continue traveling to their destination.
- Blue Lot: After pedestrian traffic has eased and when directed by Traffic Supervisors, Police Officers may allow vehicles to exit right out of Blue Lot and continue to their destination.
- Yellow Lot: Fans will continue to have an option of exiting either through the north or south sides of the parking lot.
