Rutgers Stadium

For well over $ 100 a ticket we got to see our Buckeyes play in our area. The seats were fine and the stadium isn’t huge like the Shoe in Columbus. We had eaten dinner prior so only had watered down not so hot chocolate and a warm pretzel. The security is somewhat understandable however I saw women with bigger purses than mine that were allowed into the stadium. Fortunately we were parked in Scarlet lot so I put my bag in the car and put items in pockets.
I would only come back to see the Buckeyes play here.

This is actually called High Point Solutions Stadium. It’s small compared to the big football schools’ stadiums. I think it’d be nice if the entire stadium had the upper level, but then again, it would only make non-​sold-​out games look worse.
A bit of a pain in the A to actually get to the stadium if you don’t have a parking pass. You have to take a bus from one of a few locations. I go to the RAC for the bus. Paying $ 20 to park and then take a bus is a rip off, but what are you going to do?
Food options are typical stadium choices. Security is a pain but understandable — nothing bigger than a clutch purse or it has to be in a clear bag.
Seats with backs are best of course. You can rent a chair back for the bleachers.
The fireworks are a nice addition to the RU football celebrations at the stadium. Thankfully, bathrooms are not too bad.
I come here to watch RU, but the amenities are a bit lackluster.

I really enjoy watching the football games here but honestly the food is so damn over priced now, and the quality just isn’t there. Cold crappy five dollar hot dogs. The food was much better and reasonably priced before they were Big Ten.
Now the ticket prices are out of control. Top ten Michigan state comes to town and they can’t even sellout. Why? Tickets are $ 100. Really??? This is still a college game. Come on.

Well of course my review is going to be a bit bias. After being a student at RU from 2002 – 2006 I bleed scarlet and spend almost every Saturday here in the fall. It’s been fun watching the stadium go from sparse crowds witnessing a perennial losing team to sold out major college football Big Ten games. Sine the upgrade several years ago, the stadium (High Point Solutions as it’s actually called now) seats of 52,000.
They’ve made several improvements to the bathrooms (increasing the amount available) and concession stands (over the last few years they have taken fan opinion into consideration and added food options and overall amount of vendors). You’ll still hit long lines at the aforementioned places prior to kickoff and at halftime, just make sure you give yourself time. Also, make sure you get to the stadium early — time it takes to get in has increased with the increased number of fans (that and heightened security regulations). They follow the NFL’s policy on bags so ladies leave the purses at home and switch to a small clutch or a see-​through bag.
Wear Red to the game, be ok with people standing (especially on 3^rd down) and make sure to bring your loudest yelling voice. When this place is loud, it’s rocking!
Go RU!!!

The Birthplace of College Football.
The crowds are getting better and louder every year. For a stadium that only seats 52K this place gets very loud for big games. Get to your seats early and wear Scarlet.
There is only one video board here and it is right above the student section. Lines for concession stands are always extremely long.
As attendance grows every year the traffic situation around he stadium gets worse. If you don’t have a parking pass get to the game day lots early. If you are at the stadium two hours before kickoff head over to the «Scarlet Walk».
Rutgers does a good job honoring its history. At the end of the first quarter pay attention to the video board for the «Knights in the NFL» video. More and more Rutgers alumni in the NFL every week.

R-​U Rah Rah! R-​U Rah Rah! Hoo-​Rah! Hoo-​Rah! Rutgers Rah!

Horrendous graduation day experience
No organization
Ruined what should have been a great day
Line after line after line
Mobs of savages cutting lines
In all my years of going to football games I have never experienced something so poor

Nice stadium and great energy from the crowd. My daughter Alyssa Sims the gymnastics special Olympian was here to participate in the halftime PSA for their World games coming up July 2015 in LA.

Rutgers Stadium is actually a decent place to watch a game. IMO, its probably a better place to watch a game than Met Life Stadium since its so small and intimate. Saw a couple of games from the upper deck and once I got used climbing up the steep aisles and sitting in ASSIGNED bleacher seats, those seats have one hell of a view of the games. Even though its only a 50 000 seat stadium, the fans can get LOUD there. Another plus is that the regular fans there are very friendly and will chat up with strangers about the game and the program.
Getting there may be a pain in the ass by car since you may have to be bussed from the far away parking lots to the stadium. Even though you have to catch a 20 minute shuttle bus ride from the New Brunswick train station to the stadium, its easier to get there by train.
Good place to watch a game and would go back this season. Hope they don’t do much to change the atmosphere of the place or more importantly make the games too expensive to go.

I love Rutgers and their awesome stadium! It really is a great venue to watch college football with its great atmosphere! All of these 1 star reviews are from Penn State fans so they can be ignored. Also I have never witnessed a single fight, or any other security problem while at the stadium. My family and I are always kind to away fans unless they are really obnoxious so I don’t really understand what all these bad reviews are about. Go RU!

I’ve only been to one college football game and it was at Highpoint Solutions Stadium, so I have nothing to compare it against.

I have been to Highpoint Solutions stadium for at least two football games because in the past few decades Rutgers football has become an institution. My best friend usually sneaks me into the student section with him and we sit near the home goal posts. I park a mile or two away and walk because even though the parking lot is great, you have to show up hours in advance to get a space. It is also a major pain in the ass to get out of the parking lot once the game has ended and I usually just go back to New Brunswick anyway.
Despite reports otherwise, the students are no more rowdy than students I have encountered at games at other colleges. As long as you like football, the stadium more than does the job. The bathrooms were clean enough and as long as you go pee while the game is ongoing you should be fine. I could not tell you what the ticket prices were as I was given free tickets both times but given the rough state of the economy, one of the easiest ways to gain admission is just to start dating a strapping, college student (so many male blondes). You are welcome.

As far as stadiums go, this was average. On the smaller side for college football stadiums, especially in the big ten. The heated bathrooms and the hot water in the sinks were a highlight. We had nose bleed seats and the view was still good. The pretzels we got at half time were rock hard and dry. The hot dogs were small and average.
General parking was a bit confusing to figure out as we were bused to the stadium. They were only loading one bus at a time, so the line was ridiculously long. They could have loaded two or three busses at one time to speed things up.

Great stadium to watch the game. Now that they are in the Big 10 the crowds are getting better and the University continues to make adjustments each game to meet the new needs of the fans.

Die-​hard rutgers fan, have been to 2 home games this season and many more in the past. I think the school is still learning to adjust being in the big ten and the added traffic/​people it will bring into the stadium. The stadium itself is nice for a college football one, and I have season tickets by the 10 yard line. The food choices vary, and the chicken/​beef burrito bowl keeps me coming back for refills. The bathroom lines can be insane, so i recommend using the porta johns located by the 20 yard line behind the visitors sideline. No alcohol inside, which I think is a good thing personally, as you don’t want to step on beer when you walk around.

Great stadium, solid concessions, exciting atmosphere for college football. Most of the one star reviews are from angry troglodyte Penn State fans and can be safely ignored.

Stadium is ok. There seems to be no bad seats in the house. The bathrooms are non-​existent. Also, the RU football fans are what make this place completely unbearable. Their awful behavior in the B1G opener showed everyone that they are not ready to conduct themselves in a somewhat human nature. Straight up goons.
Hands down the worst B1G fans in the conference.

I really love Rutgers and the atmosphere at the stadium. I have season tickets for years. I went to Rutgers so it has a special place in my heart.
Tailgating is so much fun and you get to meet so many nice people.
The staff was not ready for the crowd at the Penn state game and it showed. My son was scared and afraid of the lack of organization for such a big game. Then they made us park a mile away from the stadium and had the nerve to charge us 20 dollars to park a mile away. We saw numerous fights and complete lack of control.
I love Rutgers games but you have to be ready for the next big games to come here!
For the next game hire more security and parking people, and be ready.
The place was so loud and behind the team. A great time from a football standpoint.
Many people were very unhappy too! A lot of people were talking about some of the things I mentioned because we were all talking about it. Please be ready next time.
Go Rutgers !

I’ve been here for two games, and both times sat in section 224 (upper level, 50 yard line). Even though these would be considered the nose-​bleed seats, they still offer a great vantage point because the stadium only seats just less than 55,000 people.
The staff moves the crowd at the gates along quite well and there are plenty of bathrooms, though unlike a dance club where the women are usually the ones waiting, the men are here.
The only reasons I’m not giving five stars are because:
1) It’s a pain in the ass to get to the stadium;
2) There’s only one jumbotron, which is behind the student section so all those drunk kids have to rubberneck if they want to catch the replays; and
3) The audio was messed up at the last game I attended. Have you ever tried interpreting a ref’s sign language from the upper level? Hopefully no one at this game was both deaf and blind …

3^rd worst stadium in the Big Ten, only Michigan State and Illinois were worse. 2^nd worst fans in the Big Ten, only Ohio State were ruder (although I’ve yet to get to Michgan yet!). They need to up their game in so many ways… overall worst Big Ten away game spot. Once and done!

I’ve had season tIckets for the Rutger’s football for many years. I really love college football. It’s always about the true love of the game as well as the kids at Rutgers.
We used to love to tailgate and still do at Met Life Stadium but we figured out a fantastic way to enjoy the pre-​game as well as an easy way to get in and out of the area which can sometimes be a bit of hassle with 50,000 fans.
I park either at the public garage downtown (near the train station) or at the Hyatt. parking lot and it is usually $ 7 or less. For games that start at 12 noon, we go to the Hyatt for breakfast. They have a buffet or a breakfast menu to chose from and the food’s pretty good.
If it’s a later kickoff, we go to Old Man Rafferty’s for brunch. I usually have the steak, eggs and home fries. It’s a pretty nice bargain for $ 13 bucks.
After eating, we pick up the free bus shuttle near the train station which drops us off right at the stadium. We try and get to the stadium at least an hour before kick-​off because the Rutger’s band and cheerleaders (as well as the Scarlet Knight) put on a show near the stadium. They all march in unison and it really is a beautiful sight to see. It also makes you proud of being from Jersey. Oh, and our team is now 5 – 0 which doesn’t suck, either.
The stadium is a great facility. They have improved on it over the years. In one end zone, they have a giant flat screen that shows replays as well as the crazy fans at the game. The food is good with typical football fare. The changes that have taken place over the years are incredible. It is now a very very good stadium for Division 1 football.
After the game, we usually wait in line for the bus to take us back to the College Avenue campus. The wait is probably the only complaint but if it’s a sold out game, what else are you going to do? We usually go to the «grease trucks» on College Ave. My daughter graduated from Rutger’s and she thanks the Grease Trucks for always getting her through her finals. She told me that when she needed a break at 2:00am, she went to the trucks for a well deserved break. These guys make the best tasting, greasy sandwich’s in the world. The sandwichs come with everything including french fries on the sandwich. Most of them are called are called some type of «Fat Cat». Stop by if you have a chance.
From there we usually go to Clydz’s for a drink (they have the best Martini menu in NJ) and leave to go home.
If you ever get a chance to go to a Rutger’s football game and enjoy the many fun places in New Brunswick, don’t pass it up… RU!!!
