Time for stroads to undergo their true test.
Also, yeah, I get it. People in north NJ don't really have their own big city, it's either NYC or Philly. So they like to be tacked onto the greater NYC area.
I wonder whether it makes more sense for the MTA transit system to handle the influx of people (if say, Yankee Stadium was where it is held). Luckily there is at least a large passenger train station nearby, there are bus routes close as well. So hopefully the parking lot is not a disaster.

There's rail service to the stadium on event days, through a rail shuttle from Secaucus to Metlife

Interesting choice. Perhaps the best choice because there is some public transit at least
Eh not really. It's basically impossible to leave the sports complex on foot making it a nightmare situation actually.
