Frequently asked

Where should I actually stay in New York for the tournament?
Long Island City and Astoria put you a short subway from MetLife’s connections and at half the Manhattan rate. Jersey City is the absolute closest to the stadium and worth it for matches; Manhattan is for nightlife, not for a working base.
Will the subway handle match-day crowds?
It will, but leave 90 minutes earlier than usual on big days. Buy your transit pass on day one, learn one alternate route to MetLife (NJ Transit out of Penn Station is the standard), and have a backup ride-share saved with surge expectations baked in.
Is decent Wi-Fi a problem in stadium-adjacent areas?
Mobile data slows around stadium zones on match days. Anchor calls to coworking or hotel Wi-Fi, and run a regional eSIM for backup so you keep working even when networks crawl. Test the day before, not at kickoff minus ten.
Best coworking neighbourhoods for a working trip?
For deep work: Brooklyn Heights, Williamsburg or Long Island City — fast Wi-Fi, fewer tourists, real desks. Manhattan coworking near the office districts is expensive and packed during the tournament. The river crossing is short; the price difference is not.
