red bull arena

The atmosphere is amazing! Been to few international matches and also some Red Bulls matches. It was absolutely fantastic! In the summer, some European clubs visit and play friendly matches which would be another opportunity to look for some kind blowing soccer experience!

Really nice venue. They've laid it out the way a soccer stadium should be and it makes for a potentially powerful atmosphere. It's so ruddy inconvenient to get to, but it's New York (new jersey), so I get it. Also, if I may be honest, Red Bull fans are, in my opinion, some of the most tepid, dispassionate fans in MLS, and their energy takes a bit away from the game. But the venue itself is class.Because of its location, depending on where you're coming from, build in some extra time to get there on the front end, just to be safe. Sometimes the trains/buses/walks can lag.

The thing that makes Red Bull Arena so amazing is that it was designed specifically to be a soccer arena. This means that the seats are right near the field and the 24,000 person capacity is just right considering the popularity of the sport. With even 16,000 seats filled, the arena is loud and seems full. Unless you are sitting in the very first 2 rows, your seats are also covered from rain or snow. If you have seats on the eastern side for an afternoon game, make sure you bring your sunglasses!During the conference playoffs in 2014, the arena was packed and it felt like a big time college stadium.Also, even with Henry gone, I think the Red Bulls are becoming the team to finally win the MLS Cup.

I've been a long time NJ resident but have came here for the first time in July to see Arsenal vs Red Bulls. This has been by far the most relaxed sports experience I've ever had. Parking is abundant and available. The different areas of the Arena are easy to get to. Before the match there were also a lot of activities along the way to the entrance. I will definitely be back to check out a Red Bulls game.Arsenal till I die.Visited July 2014

it is great to have a professional sports team right in your back yard no need to drive for me myself and friends can just walk there to watch great see some great athletes and the price's are not to bad plus our local high school gets to play there once a year

Even though I was here to support the away team, I have to give credit to this beautiful stadium. From the outside, it's got a great look & feel that you don't ever get with other MLS stadiums. Once inside, there isn't a bad seat in the house. The slope of the seats is pretty high giving everyone a view of all the action.The concessions they had available were pretty good too. They also had some craft beer selections which is always nice as once you leave the westcoast you usually have some horrible beer choices. Overall, I had a great experience minus my team losing to the Red Bulls.

If you like soccer/football this is well worth a visit. Saw the amazing Thierry Henry lead his team to victory over league champs Kansas City (who woulda thought right?). Check out family package--4 tix + 4 food/drink coupons for $88. Stay at Element hotel if coming fr out of town.

Got to see my first MLS game here and saw the Red Bulls win. Excellent atmosphere, stadium is just the right size for the crowds that they get. Got the train in from NYC and was quite easy to get in and out of stadium. Did the expensive option and got Club seat tickets, right behind dugouts, great views and included a food and drinks package. Whole arena including the shops, food, lounges are very well set up. Great experience.

I had a very good experience at the stadium. Everything was very organized and clean. The only problem was the parking.

I liked having my own numbered and padded seat. Food is a bit pricey...on par with professional football and baseball. Hats off to the staff for chasing kids out of the lower level seats.

Had wanted to go to a game for a while, finally took the kids this past weekend. The stadium is fantastic, not a bad seat to be had in the medium-sized building. Amenities are nice, and although food is expensive, it's actually not as bad as some other stadiums. The place was quiet in the first half but got rocking when the Red Bulls rallied after halftime!The only real drawback is the parking, it's very confusing and if you follow the first signs, you will be far from the stadium. Fortunately friends told us to follow signs to VIP parking and then find the regular lot in that same area. Still pretty chaotic after the game.

A few of us went to the NYRB v Arsenal game and the transport to the stadium was terrible, one train station with hopeless staff to boot. Shocking

A very nice purpose-built soccer stadium in the European rectangular style; for instance, the roof covering kept most or all fans dry during a downpour just before the game. Staff friendly and helpful. Getting out of the stadium is indeed slow, both for those driving (given limited road connectsion) and using PATH. (Tip: After the game, first take PATH westbound to Newark, then change there to eastbound back to New York--much faster than waiting in the endless eastbound line at the Harrison/stadium stop.) Part of our party drove; arriving early, we were in covered parking (an abandoned warehouse, $10) very close to the stadium. But there are many birds in the warehouse so cars get multiple poop hits by the end of the game.While I enjoyed *the game* a lot, I will probably never return because the Red Bulls have adopted that most awful of U.S. stadium traditions, that is, assuring that you can never actually have a conversation with your friends and family with whom you meant to spend time at the game: Before the game, at halftime, and as soon as the game ends, there is annoying, deafening music that gives you a headache. Is there some secret plan to make sure fans don't have too good a time?Prices for food and drink are typical for US stadiums, that is, outrageously expensive (about 2-3 times what you'd pay elsewhere).

Hello all,The stadium was great -- we sat in section 220 and we had a very nice view from our seats. Concessions are expensive (to be expected - $5 regular size water or regular/smaller gatorade). The food we tried was pretty good - the Nachos are worth it!! I had a pretty good beer - Summer Shandy which was very fruity and refreshing! On the way to and from the game it's worth buying the food from the street vendors (pretty good for that sort of thing). The PATH train was ok at best. Harrison station was a little rough due to the soccer fans and way too much beer being consumed (prior and during the game) -- I saw several fights breakout near the PATH station. Anyway, overall good stadium, expensive/gouge concessions and crappy transportation situation. Expect lots of disorganization and it was like PATH staff were not expecting 26,000 soccer fans to be arriving.

As a long time football (American) fan, red bull arena gives you that intimate atmosphere that most events do not. It is truly amazing to see red bull arena on a packed night and the stadium shake from chanting fans
