We don’t know what it is (the MetLife Stadium/Ticketmaster site does not have tickets for it)…but NJT says it’s got the potential to snarl the commute.
If you subscribed to the Inside Track…you’d see it right here on our departure board

Arming yourself with data is one way to reduce the stress of waiting for track number assignments.
This is especially true if your sometimes ride different trains home.

We have updated our Departure Board in a way that gives you better real-time info about the issues which impact your commute.
We now have the ability to post multiple (and color-coded) messages to you!

You know the feeling: You get to Penn Station and see that the departure board is peppered with trains on STAND BY.
If it was one or two trains...you might just hope it's an isolated incident.
When over 1/3 of the trains are showing STAND BY...we all know this could be bad.
So our bots scan the departureboard, and when 30% of the next trains are troublesome, we notify you according to your preference.
When we built The Inside Track, we said that we’d listen to you and build new features all the time. Well, here is the first of many:
You can now use The Inside Track to get your track number after the train has been removed from the official departure board.
Here are 2 reasons why this is such a great new feature
1. Trains do not leave at their scheduled departure time.
Read this NY Times article about the one-minute cushion you have between official and actual departure times.
The phantom minute, in place for decades and published only in private timetables for employees, is meant as a grace period for stragglers who need the extra time to scramble off the platform and onto the train.
2. On those nights when there are widespread delays, it may be the case that your train is still in the station…even after it is removed from the departureboard.
So…you can now use our mobile-enabled website to see where your train is.
Here is a screenshot from Inside Track at 7:06 PM. As you’d expect, the 7:03 train to Trenton is no longer listed on the traditional board (Clever Commute or NJT). However, if you click on Departed Trains, you can find the track (14). How cool is that?
