YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Can you canoe to the World Cup? A total of eight matches, including the final, will be held at MetLife Stadium, and transit options are severely limited for the 80,000 fans who are expected to attend. A ride on N.J. Transit from Manhattan to the area is going for $98. Uber prices are exorbitant, and riders have reported waiting three hours for a pickup. Technically, you can walk, but large “No Pedestrian” signs were recently posted on the highways around the stadium. Luckily, for the seaworthy adventurer, the Meadowlands are surrounded by many creeks, canals, and marshes. Our staff writer Zach Helfand tried approaching by boat.
