@guardiansoccer: Is it possible to just walk to MetLife Stadium from New York City? Now that the usually $13 train ticket has been hiked up to $105 for the World Cup, a lot of fans have been wondering just that. To find out, we sent the intrepid @markmcposts on a scenic hike to New Jersey to see if America’s pedestrian infrastructure is up to the task. What he found was a challenging but occasionally scenic 4.5 hour walk that ended with blocked off pedestrian routes that would stop even the most adventurous European hiker from getting to the stadium during the World Cup.

insane that people defend this instead of just campaigning to make the country a little less car-focused

In most European cities public transport is free when you hold a ticket to sports match.

If you’d cancel the World Cup now and reschedule last minute in Europe in random mid sized stadiums IT WOULD STILL GO BETTER THAN IN THE US

In the UK they literally close local roads for regional football matches so pedestrian access is easier

It is impossible to walk to the stadium, because they are making it impossible. It could be a non-issue
