East Rutherford, NJ — Meadowlands horsemen, please be advised that there will be Jay-Z/Beyonce concerts in Met Life Stadium on both Friday (July 11) and Saturday (July 12) beginning at 8 p.m. The crowd each night is estimated to be in the 50,000 range and traffic will be very heavy.

Stadium parking planners strongly suggest that you get to the track before 5 p.m. It is also advised that you avoid driving through the parking lot when entering from the turnpike and instead use Route 120/Patterson Plank Road and enter via the East Tunnel gate. This route may be used with horse transportation vehicles as well, following the road behind the new grandstand around to the paddock.

It’s going to be very hot this week in New Jersey so plan your trip accordingly.

Post time on Friday is the regular 7:15 p.m. while Saturday has a special early post time of 6:30 p.m.
