Planning

How to plan the trip

The order that saves the most money and the most stress.

  • Lock the date first. Kickoff windows move, dates rarely do.
  • Book refundable lodging before buying tickets, because rooms sell out faster than seats.
  • Compare seat locations, not just price. Shade, wind and aisle access matter more than a few rows.
  • Confirm the venue bag policy and payment rules before you leave the hotel.
  • Plan the exit. Rideshare pickup zones are usually several blocks from the gates.

Bench seating, neighborhood tailgates and the most walkable NFL stadium in the league.

  • Buy or bring a seat cushion; the bowl is aluminum bench the whole way around.
  • Residential driveway parking is cheaper and closer than the official lots.
