The Nitters are the most evil fan base I have ever encountered. What GodPa allowed happen to little boys was an abomination. The GodPaCult must be confronted, at every opportunity. State Pen is evil. Their GodPaCult fans are evil. GodPa is dead, good, and TickleMonster is still alive, rotting in prison. Fuck that place and their cult. Back to the topic at hand. Yes, I have been to Rutgers more than a few times. We used to play there every other year, before the Big East and during their membership. It’s a very nice stadium. The location really doesn’t feel so much like NYC. It almost has a New England-y feel. One thing I would consider, if you have the time, is taking the ACELA train from Boston to NYC to save the hassle of driving. I can’t really offer any tips about how to get to the stadium from NYC because I was always at the team hotel but, I’d bet there are plenty of Uber, or other options. I enjoyed going to Rutgers for games. Edited July 25, 20241 yr by PittsburghTiger

July 25, 20241 yr True story about my one experience with Newark: I was a baby attorney, less than one year out of law school, and was sent by my big Texas law firm to Florham Park, NJ (a pretty nice town) for a week long document review in a big case. This was summer of 2000 well before attorneys reviewed documents electronically in the comfort of their own offices. Also, that was a time when we didn't have Google Maps or their GPS predecessors to help you navigate unfamiliar territory. I had to fly in to Newark, landing at about 11:00 p.m., and driving my rental car close to midnight out of downtown Newark with paper directions to Florham Park. I was a bit nervous to say the least, and felt like Clark Griswold driving through St. Louis. I took a mental note to never visit Newark again.

Yeah, the airport is the only reason for Newark to exist.

Is it that much further by train? He's done NYC a few times and so have I, but never Philly. I'm a history goon, so wondering if that makes logistical sense.

Can give you plenty of recommendations if you stay on that side. Will also be much easier to get to Rutgers saw your post above about Philly, I think you’d have more fun exploring Hoboken and then being able to get back to nyc in minutes. Also Hoboken/jersey city may seem like a place to not visit but there are some nice areas and great food. It’s not like Newark..at all.(Went to college there for a year so I know the area) Hoboken is the move. Edited July 25, 20241 yr by RockyMountainHighHorn

I'll take it under advisement.

Would I want to be doing 2 hour train rides into the city on vacation? No. But i was solely looking at it from the “checking out Rutgers and get some New York at the same time” point of view. 3-4 days, yeah sign me up for Hoboken. 1/2 days, sure Philly would be fine. Seeing a bell and piece of paper aren’t that fun unless that’s your thing..then it’s an easy answer.

He's done NYC a few times and so have I, but never Philly. I'm a history goon, so wondering if that makes logistical sense. I think there is a train from Philly to New Brunswick. And it is only about an hour on that train. I am not certain of the schedule. There is a lot of history in Philly. I reckon it depends on how much time you have to stay in Philly, and what time is the game at Rutgers. I have been in the room where the Declaration of Independence was signed. It is quite amazing. I had to go there for a day and a half when I needed to expedite my passport renewal. That section of town has a ton of stuff to see. Again, it all depends on time you have to spare. https://www.wanderu.com/en-us/depart/Philadelphia%2C PA%2C USA/New Brunswick%2C NJ%2C USA/2024-07-27/?dpid=ChIJpZJq8FXDw4kRDCOOeQZVkiU&opid=ChIJ60u11Ni3xokRwVg-jNgU9Yk/ https://www.amtrak.com/tickets/departure.html Fastest 164 Northeast Regional DEPARTS 11:10a 0h 51m ARRIVES 12:01p 158 Northeast Regional DEPARTS 8:05p 0h 52m ARRIVES 8:57p There, it can be done by train to New Brunswick. I think it would take longer to drive from Philly than it would to take the train. Also, the Acela train goes from Boston to Philly. Edited July 25, 20241 yr by PittsburghTiger
July 26, 20241 yr The nice thing about the Philly stuff is it is all right around the same 5-6 block area, bell...check...liberty hall...check...betsy ross' house....check. Should work the same if you've done NYC, its not called the sixth burrow for nothing.
