The last time I made it out to The IZOD center at the Meadowlands was for The Dead in April 2009. At the time the only way to get there by public transportation was to take a train and shuttle bus.  You can now taken the 351 Coach USA Express which gets you to the Meadowlands in about 20 minutes. So much easier and only costs $10 round trip. 

On the bus:

Woman (to friend on bus) : Do you have the concert tickets?

It was a really fun show. Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers played a solid hour and a half set packed with all the favorites, some I didn’t know and a handful of tunes from the new album Mojo. I don’t think I looked down at my watch once!

There was a lot of tailgating before and after the show. On my walk through the lot to the bus at the end of the night: 

Guy: Who has my pretzel? There are usually like 20 pretzel guys out here!
