Private Transportation to the Super Bowl

Private Transportation to the Super Bowl

Private transportation to the Super Bowl is going to be a nightmare. Traffic will be nuts and parking will be even worse. Urge guests to take public transportation if at all possible. See Jeremy’s email for public trans options.

These are things you need to know about private transportation…

There will be no pick up/drop off service to the Meadowlands on 2/1/14 or 2/2/14 done by any car company. There is no location at the Meadowlands complex that will permit vehicles to pull over and drop off/pick up passengers.

Private vehicles will need parking passes. They are available online for purchase on the NFL’s website (while supplies last) for between $150-$350. They can’t be resold as they are tied to the guest’s ticket number. http://www.nfl.com/superbowl/48/guide .

A CHRISTMAS STORY THE MUSICAL STARTS TONIGHT

A CHRISTMAS STORY THE MUSICAL STARTS TONIGHT

A Christmas Story, The Musical is the hilarious account of one boy's desperate quest to ensure that the one thing he want most in the world ends up under his tree this Christmas: an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-shot Range Model Air Rifle. Based on the beloved 1983 holiday movie, this delightful musical comedy takes a nostalgic look back at the 1940s-era childhood holiday memories of one Ralphie Parker. Dan Lauria (The Wonder Years) leads a cast that also features three other returning cast members from the 2012 Broadway debut, as well as funny and heartfelt songs by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul, with a faithful yet inventive book by Joseph Robinette. Young and old alike will delight in watching Ralphie's wacky family muddle through the Yuletide with heart, humor -- and one incredibly tacky leg lamp.

The theatre @ Madison Square Garden – entrance on 7th Ave between 32nd and 33rd sts.
