When Super Bowl XLVIII comes to the New York region on Sunday, February 2 – and during the week of events leading up to the big game – the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s network of subways, railroads and buses is the best way to get to and from all game-related events. To make it easier to get around, the MTA will add service at selected times, will suspend most track and road work, and is providing visitors with special maps, station wayfinding and extra personnel who will make it easier to navigate connections between transit services in New York and New Jersey.
Wednesday, January 29, to Friday, January 31
The Super Bowl Host Committee is hosting Super Bowl Boulevard (Engineered by GMC), which will feature many fan interactive experiences that will excite any football fan and will take over Broadway from 34th Street to 47th Street from noon to 10 p.m. starting Wednesday, Jan. 29. The BLVD features a 7-story Toboggan Run that will be fun for the whole family.
Super Bowl Boulevard is located at the hub of one of the world’s largest subway systems and just a football throw away from Penn Station and Grand Central. New York City Transit is providing full service on 15 subway lines that stop underneath the boulevard or within one block of it.
