Stats aside going to be the hardest game yet

I know it was a sold out game, but I couldn't use my phone at all. Literally nothing worked until I got back to my car at the end of the night. I couldn't text anyone to find if the people I was with needed anything. God forbid there was an actual emergency. It can’t be that expensive to rent portable cell towers, or to have Verizon or TMobile build another one in the area.

UW grad/fan and NYC resident here — taking the train to the game tomorrow.

Noticed there’s not really anything around the stadium — what are the best places/bars in New Brunswick for pre-game?

Don’t think there’s any UW-specific tailgate so figure might as well mingle with some Rutgers fans!

As a UW (undergrad) and RU NB (grad school) alum, I've decided Friday night's game is the perfect reason for my first visit to NJ and Rutgers in 35 years. Looking forward to seeing what's changed. Unfortunately, I have an early flight out of Newark Saturday AM so I would like to get to my car and back to my hotel at Raritan Center (Edison) as quickly as possible after the game. Assuming the game is worth watching to the end, any advice on where to park? I was offered $30 parking at Jersey Mike's Arena when I bought the ticket, but is it quick and easy to catch a shuttle bus there after the game? Any other options?

Thanks for your insight.

Edit 1: SINCERE THANKS for all your advice and suggestions!!! I decided to go with the St. George Greek Orthodox Church parking. My wife (RU Grad School) and I are looking forward to our visit to the area and hanging out with a few of you at the game. I'll be the guy wearing purple but my wife will be proudly wearing her RU garb.

Edit 2: Well, close game, so parking at the Greek Orthodox Church was great! After the final play, we took a brisk walk to the car, were able to quickly exit the parking lot and took less than 5 minutes to turn right onto River Road. Then smooth sailing to I-287 and Raritan Center. I can't imagine there was a better option for what we needed. Thanks again for your help!

Thoroughly enjoyed spending Thursday walking around Busch and College Ave, seeing all that's changed. Game day experience was excellent. Was welcomed by fans---my wife wearing a Rutgers shirt and me with my UW hat and shirt were great conversation starters. Not as happy about the outcome of the game, not so much that UW lost, but how we lost--reliable former walk-on kicker missing those two shorter field goals, the illegal participation penalty on the blocked FG, other stupid penalties killing drives. Some problems are expected when a team loses 40+ scholarship players to the draft and portal and has a 100% new coaching staff. But this was game 5 and UW had 16 penalties in the other game they lost (to Washington State--ugh). Anyway, congratulations to Rutgers and I wish you great success the rest of the season. I'll no doubt be watching a few of the games and rooting hard from the Great Pacific Northwest. Come out to Seattle if you get the chance--we call Husky Stadium "the greatest setting in college football" and it's not just hype.

Is there a preferred visitors section I should look for if I'm able to get tickets?

Howdy folks,

How close to the games to they post the game times? I'm trying to do something on December 14th but will have to time it around the game.

Thanks in advance.

May the young guys get practice reps, and the injured guys heal up

Hey all, RU NB alumni here. I am going to be going to my first RU football game as a non-student and had a quick question about how the different sections work.

My friends are visiting from Washington for the RU vs. WU game, and they said they booked tickets through the University of Washington, so they don't know exactly which section/seat they'll have, they just told me a bunch of sections where Washington has tickets for and the seats won't be available till a little closer. I want to be seated with them, but wasn't sure how to to about booking the right tickets...

Soo, I had a couple of questions before I booked my own tix:

1. are these sections exclusive to visiting side?

2. what's the seating situation like in non-student sections? I just remember for student section, we'd just pile in whever, but the security would check for student tickets to get into the section - is there a similar case for visitors sections, as such that only visiting side can get into those sections? And how easy is it to move between those sections? I remember we couldn't get from student section to non-student sections.

I know some of these questions sound pretty stupid, but I just wanted to ask since its my first time and I didn't want to end up buying the wrong tickets. Thanks
