The FIFA World Cup Walk: NYC to the Meadowlands

• Approximately 13 miles total with no drop-out points. Not suitable for slow walkers.
• Meeting Point: Fort Lee Public Library (320 Main St, Fort Lee, NJ)
• End Point: American Dream / Stadium Lot G-17
  Bus #160 for a 1-stop ride back to PABT. Alternatively, if you want to keep walking with me, you can log another 3 miles to the Rutherford Train Station.

*****************************
Everyone’s trying to figure out how to get to the stadium. The official shuttle started at a ridiculous $150, dropped to $105, and is now $98—and you still have to deal with crowd control.
Or… you can just walk (well, before the tournament chaos actually starts).
No Rush, No Ride: An Urban Exploration
The federation says nobody is allowed to walk to the stadium on match days. Good thing we are doing it this week instead! Starting from NYC, we will follow a continuous urban route through Fort Lee, Leonia, Teaneck, Ridgefield Park, Little Ferry, Moonachie, and Carlstadt, ending near the Meadowlands complex area.
Expect a gritty, ground-level journey through overlooked spaces—residential streets, commercial strips, river crossings, and industrial edges.
⚠️ DISCLAIMER:

• This is an independent urban walk. We have no tickets and are NOT part of any official event.
• We will NOT enter stadium property or violate pedestrian restrictions; we are strictly staying on public sidewalks near the area.
• No tickets required. No $98 fees. Just miles and movement.
