Midtown Manhattan. The Smarter Base.

Hard Rock Hotel New York sits steps from Penn Station and Port Authority — where stadium transit originates. Your journey starts from our lobby, not a parking lot. After the match, you're back in Manhattan. Where everything else is.

Transit Tip: Secaucus Junction is most direct from Midtown. Plan 45–60 minutes pre-match.
