well, yer gonna wanna take a left at the first light, head north for 3 blocks, if you pass the piggly wiggly u went too far, turn right at the library, go thru 3 stoplights, make a u-ey at the waterfall, and follow the signs to the stadium. U shouldn't have any trouble. and don't forget your GPS.

You forgot to add that you have to bypass the Lincoln Tunnel. I actually ended up in Newark by missing the Lincoln Tunnel exit to NYC. Me and my daughter driving around Newark at night for half an hour nervously looking for a way back to the Jersey Turnpike. Finally pulled into a 7-11 where there were a few cops we could ask. They looked at us like we were two dumb broads, as they say in Jersey, but they did give us directions. It didn't look like the safest area, so I'd find a hotel close by.

You could stay in Manhattan in a reasonably priced hotel and take the train to the show out of Penn Station.I am not sure of the time on the train to Newark but it cannot be more than 20 minutes or so. Here is a link for more information:

No reason to stay in Newark. Travel is easy between N.Y. Penn Station and Newark Penn Station. 5 minute walk to the Pru. Cen. I know Manhattan hotels are pricey, and Newark hotels aren't but I wouldn't spend more than one night in Newark. Try Long Island City hotels. Much cheaper and one or two stops on the subway into Manhattan. Good Luck! Travel safe!

There is a Hilton in Newark across the street from Penn station. The venue is only a few blocks from there. This way no matter where you fly into. Only a short walk and or train anywhere you want to go.

The Hilton still had rooms for the weekend early this week.

Stay in NYC and take a train to Newark. It's easy...

Christmas will be in full swing in NYC so take it all in.

Take a ship across the Atlantic. Sell your tickets for a MORE insane amount. Stay in a posh hotel in NY. Watch the concert on PPV.... Or not...
