Parking passes cost $150 and vehicles are subject to scans for security reasons.

Those who drove were allowed to bring their own food and beverages. But they were not allowed to have grills for tailgating. Football fans can visit the Gameday Fan Plaza, which features music and activities.

New Jersey State Police Sgt. Adam Grossman said fans will see a large law enforcement presence at the stadium. Grossman says there have been no problems.
