If you are actually going
Do not improvise the final.
Leave absurdly early
Final gates open four hours before kickoff. FIFA’s transport guide routes rail passengers through Secaucus Junction to a matchday-only stadium connection.

NJ TRANSIT tickets for the stadium connection must be purchased in advance. Screenshot the route—not the match ticket.
