Giants Stadium has initiated unprecedented eco-friendly initiatives in preparation for Live Earth. To reduce green house gas emissions caused by people traveling to the Live Earth Concert, a free shuttle bus fueled by bio-diesel will be provided from the Secaucus Transfer Station to the Stadium. For train schedules to the Transfer Station visit http://www.njtransit.com/sf_tr_schedules.shtml#. Additionally, concertgoers are being urged to carpool or take mass transit wherever possible. For bus service from New York City please visit http://www.njtransit.com/nn_mbs.shtml.

Other green initiatives being embraced by the concert producers and venue include:

  • All buses and power generators used in association with the concert will be fueled by bio-diesel.
  • All food products and containers will be made from either recycled materials or of bio degradable stock.
  • No plywood is being used in the concert production and field preparation for the first time ever in the history of concerts at Giants Stadium.

Patrons that purchased tickets to the Live Earth Giants Stadium event prior to June 4th will be sent a permit that allows entrance to the Meadowlands Sports Complex Parking Lots. Patrons that purchase tickets after June 4th will be sent a permit to park at a remote shuttle lot and will not have access to the Sports Complex parking lots. Due to construction at the Meadowlands Sports Complex, parking at the Complex is very limited.
