Looking at maps, there are no sidewalks or walkways on any of the roads leading to or surrounding the stadium. Pedestrians aren't even an afterthought here.

It’s NJ, it’s intentional. There are sidewalks in small towns, but almost no sidewalks outside of them. On most roads like 38 and 541, you literally have to walk on the grass next to the road. Public transportation is surprisingly decent for a US state, specifically going from South Jersey into Philly is really easy.

Source: I grew up there and walked everywhere. It was terrible.

There's 12 times more land dedicated to parking than to the actual stadium. I think this one is a popular meme on anti-car communities because of that.

I used to live near there and the cars were an afterthought too. It is sketchy AF driving there and it has a weird post-apocalyptic feel too.

Hundreds of square miles of tollway spaghetti. When I lived in NYC I was convinced that it's intentionally confusing, so that you exit and enter through the toll booths over and over.
