Who put the car-haters in charge of getting people to World Cup matches at MetLife?

Article excerpt

As the 2026 World Cup approaches MetLife Stadium, organizers have prioritized public transit over parking, creating friction with fans willing to pay top dollar for tickets and parking privileges. The choice to restrict car access, described by critics as driven by anti-car ideology, conflicts with the reality that wealthy ticket holders expect convenient driving options. Some fans are now paying hundreds of dollars to park a mile away at the American Dream mall, suggesting the transit-first strategy may be backfiring rather than achieving its intended goals.
