Where to – From David Chang’s fried chicken sandwich chain to empanadas and Lo Ré’s pasta and meatball sandwiches, here’s where fans can line up for food inside MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
If you’re heading to MetLife Stadium on game day, plan the appetite as carefully as the route. New York City may carry the football fandom, but the stadium itself sits in East Rutherford, New Jersey—home to the New York Jets and the New York Giants.
MetLife is also built for more than Sundays. It has hosted major concerts by Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, and Kendrick Lamar, and it’s set to welcome the forthcoming World Cup 2026. For the tournament, the stadium is being “renamed” the New York New Jersey Stadium.
Inside, the concession lineup doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel. You’ll find the expected staples—chicken tenders, hot dogs, loaded fries, sandwiches, burgers—alongside a few specific stops that tend to earn repeat visits from fans who want more than the usual quick bite.
One of the biggest crowd draws is David Chang’s fried chicken sandwich chain. At MetLife, it serves the fried chicken sandwich plus chicken fingers and fries.
For fans scanning for where to go, the stadium’s food map points to sections 108, 211, 214, and 241—where you’ll run into the broader spread of game-day options.
If you want something you can actually share in the crush, empanadas are positioned as the ideal event snack. They’re the kind of food that travels well through the stands without turning your hands into a mess.
And if you’d rather sit with something steadier than finger food, there’s Lo Ré, a pasta shop from Hopewell, New Jersey, running an Italian stadium restaurant. The menu brings pasta for the main event, but it also leans into hearty crowd favorites like meatball and chicken cutlet sandwiches.
