Two official pages price the same train ride differently. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which runs the trains, publishes a full one-way fare of $3.25. Gotham FC, one of the two clubs whose home matches fill Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, still prints $3.00 on its matchday page. The turnstile takes the operator’s number. That gap is the smaller half of the problem, because the walk everyone describes at the other end of the platform has never been measured by anyone who publishes it.
The Harrison turnstile takes $3.25 and one tenant page still prints $3.00
PATH charges a full one-way fare of $3.25, reduced to $1.60 for riders 65 and older and for riders with a qualifying disability, and free for children aged 5 and under. Gotham FC prints $3.00 each way on its matchday page, checked September 2026. Only the Port Authority figure opens the gate at Harrison Station.
Nothing on the club page marks the $3.00 as historical. It sits in the same block as the walking figure and the frequency, under a public transit heading, beside a button that opens the PATH schedule. This is a maintenance gap rather than a claim, and the practical effect is small and specific. A reader who takes the club at its word arrives a quarter short per person, in a system that no longer accepts the fare media that quarter used to sit on.
| Issuer | Name it gives the station | One-way fare it publishes | Walking figure it publishes | Frequency it publishes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PATH) | Harrison Station | $3.25 full, $1.60 reduced | Not published | Printed as a timetable, not as an interval |
| Gotham FC (NWSL) | PATH Harrison Street Station | $3.00 each way | 7 minute walk to the arena | Every 5-10 minutes on weekdays, every 20 minutes on the weekend |
| New York Red Bulls (MLS) | Station not named on its transportation page | Not published | Not published | Not published, and the page sends riders to the PATH app instead |
| Sports Illustrated Stadium | Harrison Station | Not published | A short walk to the venue, with no minutes attached | Not published |
Read down the fare column and one number will open a gate. Read down the walking column and the only figure in it, 7 minutes, belongs to the issuer that got the fare wrong.

One platform in Harrison, three tenants and three names for it
PATH names the stop Harrison Station and gives it a street address of 913 Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard South, Harrison, NJ 07029. The same platform is the PATH Harrison Street Station in Gotham FC’s wording. The New York Red Bulls, the club that hosts the venue’s whole service guide, do not name it at all, checked September 2026.
What the Red Bulls publish instead is the first half of a trip. Their transportation page routes New York Penn Station riders onto the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line or the North Jersey Coast Line to Newark Penn Station, and onto the Montclair-Boonton Line or the Morris and Essex Line to Newark Broad Street, and then stops. Neither Newark station is the stadium. The leg that closes the gap is the one their own page never describes, and the Newark end of it is the subject of our guide to reaching Prudential Center from Newark Penn Station.
The building is the fourth voice. Sports Illustrated Stadium places itself just across the Passaic River from Newark Penn Station and approximately seven miles west of Lower Manhattan, and describes the PATH train to Harrison Station as offering a short walk to the venue. Its own footer still points the Know Before You Go link at a newyorkredbulls.com address under /redbullarena/, which returned a 404 in September 2026. Anyone searching Red Bull Arena PATH station is chasing a name that survives in the plumbing while a different one runs the page.
What the Port Authority publishes about Harrison Station, and what it hands to a map link
Harrison Station is served by one line, Newark to World Trade Center, and its station page lists four amenities. They are an accessible station, a waiting area, climate control, and accessible indoor navigation powered by GoodMaps. Harrison also appears on the Port Authority list of elevator-accessible stations, alongside Newark, Journal Square and Hoboken.
The connections tab is one sentence long. NJ TRANSIT bus and taxis downstairs is the whole of it, with no route number and no stand named, and nothing from the stadium or its clubs fills that in. A bus icon on the tenant parking map marks a stop for the 40 on Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard at Cape May Street, and njtransit.com did not return a route 40 schedule page to this desk in September 2026, so the 40 is a symbol on a map rather than a service to plan around.
The parking tab is stranger. Under Parking Information for Harrison Station, the Port Authority publishes a link to a Google Maps search for parking near Harrison, rather than a lot, a price or an operator. The lots themselves, the $15 to $30 range that both the Red Bulls and the stadium publish for Harrison Public Parking, and which of them take cash, belong to our separate Sports Illustrated Stadium parking guide. The platform side of the trip is what fits here.
A Harrison departure reaches the World Trade Center in 23 minutes on the printed timetable
The Port Authority prints a Harrison Departure column inside its Newark to World Trade Center weekday timetable, so the ride time can be read straight off the page rather than estimated. Every weekday row runs 23 minutes from Harrison to the World Trade Center, per the published timetable checked September 2026. In the other direction, every weekday row runs 22 minutes from the World Trade Center into Harrison, per the same timetable checked September 2026.
Evening service is where the club number and the timetable part company. Frequencies of every 5-10 minutes on weekdays and every 20 minutes at weekends come from Gotham FC. The weekend half holds up, since Harrison departures leave every 20 minutes from 7:12 pm to 10:52 pm. The weekday half stops describing the service at 9:18 pm, which on a 7:30 pm kickoff is around the final whistle. After 9:18 pm the operator prints 9:32 pm, 9:47 pm, 10:02 pm, 10:17 pm, 10:32 pm and 10:47 pm, a 15 minute interval, and then nothing until 11:22 pm.
No last train exists to be missed in Harrison. PATH operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and the overnight pattern at the station is a departure every 40 minutes from 12:32 am. That is the structural difference between this platform and an arena served by a commuter railroad, where the printed service simply ends. The risk at UBS Arena and its Elmont station is a train that has gone for the night, and the risk here is a 35 minute wait after 10:47 pm.
| Movement the timetable covers | What the Port Authority prints | Timetable it appears in | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Harrison to World Trade Center, weekday | 23 minutes on every row | Newark to World Trade Center, weekday | Leaving after a weeknight match |
| World Trade Center to Harrison, weekday | 22 minutes on every row | World Trade Center to Newark, weekday | Arriving from Lower Manhattan |
| Harrison departures up to 9:18 pm, weekday | Every 10 minutes | Newark to World Trade Center, weekday | An early exit before the final whistle |
| Harrison departures 9:32 pm to 10:47 pm, weekday | Every 15 minutes | Newark to World Trade Center, weekday | The normal post-match window |
| Harrison departures after 10:47 pm, weekday | 11:22 pm, then 11:57 pm | Newark to World Trade Center, weekday | A concert that runs long |
| Harrison departures overnight | Every 40 minutes from 12:32 am | Newark to World Trade Center, weekday | Staying for a drink until the crowd clears |
| Harrison departures 7:12 pm to 10:52 pm, weekend | Every 20 minutes | Newark to World Trade Center, weekend | A Saturday or Sunday kickoff |
From Lower Manhattan the train wins outright, at $3.25 and a printed 22 minutes into Harrison, and the criterion is that fare and clock both favour it against any car crossing the Passaic River at that hour. For a rider aimed at 33 Street the answer is still the train, with a caveat. The station page lists a single line, so the trip runs through Journal Square, where the Newark line and the 33 Street line meet on the Port Authority timetables. Trains may leave up to three minutes earlier or later than the times shown, which is the operator’s own warning and the reason to treat 10:47 pm as an edge rather than a target.
Match day service at Harrison is something PATH has done and does not publish
No standing match day service for Sports Illustrated Stadium appears anywhere on the operator’s site. A planned service changes page from the Port Authority, checked September 2026, lists nightly closures at 9 Street and 23 Street from 11:59 pm to 5 am, single track running at 14 Street overnight, and a monthly overnight closure at Christopher Street. Harrison is in none of them.
The stadium does surface once in the operator’s own pages, inside the shuttle bus notice for a Harrison to Journal Square outage that has since ended. During events at Sports Illustrated Stadium, that notice says, the shuttle bus will be temporarily relocated to Essex Street. The sentence reads better as evidence than as a plan. PATH knows the building empties into the station and will move a bus stop for it, and still publishes no extra trains for a match.
The service the Port Authority did put in place this year runs on other lines. Its weekend notice names direct Journal Square to 33 Street trains between 10 am and 9 pm, dedicated Hoboken to 33 Street service, and Hoboken to World Trade Center trains every 20 minutes. Newark to World Trade Center, the line Harrison sits on, is not among the three. The increases proposed for that line, including trains every four minutes in the weekday rush, are still written as a proposal on the same site.
Seven published details that change how a Harrison arrival is planned
- MetroCard and SmartLink acceptance ended on August 31, 2026, and as of September 1, 2026 neither card is accepted at PATH. The fare is paid with a TAPP Card or a contactless card, phone or wearable.
- A PATH SingleRide ticket is valid for two hours from the time of purchase, so buying the return leg before kickoff does not survive a match that runs longer than that.
- A TAPP Unlimited pass can be used only once at the same station within an 18 minute period, which matters on a platform where a group tries to share a single tap.
- The 10-Trip option on a TAPP Card costs $31, or $3.10 per ride, the only published way to pay under $3.25 without qualifying for the reduced fare.
- Harrison Station is listed as accessible, with a waiting area and climate control, and the Port Authority publishes indoor navigation there through GoodMaps rather than a printed concourse map.
- The Red Bulls state in writing that there is no shuttle service to the stadium, so the walk from the platform is the connection and not a fallback.
- Rideshare drop-off is signposted rather than addressed, since the club sends drivers to follow signs for VIP and valet parking on Pete Higgins Blvd near the Toyota Gate, closer to the Brooklyn arrangement at Barclays Center than to a named curb.
Where a Harrison plan built from the club pages comes apart
- Budgeting $3.00 each way from the Gotham FC matchday page. PATH charges $3.25, and $1.60 only for riders 65 and older or with a qualifying disability, according to the Port Authority.
- Arriving with a MetroCard in a wallet. Acceptance ended on August 31, 2026, and no ticket window workaround for it is published at Harrison.
- Planning a weeknight exit around a 10 minute frequency. The printed weekday interval widens to 15 minutes at 9:32 pm and to 35 minutes after 10:47 pm.
- Typing Harrison Street Station into a trip planner. Harrison Station is the name the Port Authority uses for the stop, and the street address it publishes is 913 Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard South.
- Expecting the Red Bulls transportation page to finish the journey. It ends at Newark Penn Station or Newark Broad Street and names no onward connection.
- Following the Know Before You Go link in the stadium footer. It resolves to a /redbullarena/ address that returned a 404 in September 2026.
- Treating a short walk and a 7 minute walk as measurements. No issuer publishes a distance in blocks or meters between Harrison Station and 600 Cape May Street.
Editorial note: prices, schedules, and policies on this page were checked against the official sources named in the text in September 2026. Venues, airports, and transit agencies change them without notice; confirm with the operator before you travel. Westchester Ride does not sell tickets or parking and does not accept payment to rank any operator.
The Port Authority publishes a full one-way fare of $3.25, with a reduced fare of $1.60 for riders 65 and older and riders with a qualifying disability, and free travel for children aged 5 and under. Gotham FC still prints $3.00 each way on its matchday page, checked September 2026.
Harrison Station, at 913 Frank E. Rodgers Boulevard South in Harrison, sits on the Newark to World Trade Center line. The building now trades as Sports Illustrated Stadium, and Gotham FC calls the same stop the PATH Harrison Street Station, a name the Port Authority does not use.
Twenty two minutes on every weekday row of the Port Authority timetable, and 23 minutes in the return direction from Harrison to the World Trade Center. The operator adds that trains may leave up to three minutes earlier or later than the times shown, checked September 2026.
Yes. PATH operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so no last train exists. Weekday departures from Harrison thin to 15 minutes at 9:32 pm, then run at 11:22 pm and 11:57 pm, then every 40 minutes overnight from 12:32 am.
One figure exists and it belongs to a tenant. Gotham FC publishes a 7 minute walk from the station to Sports Illustrated Stadium. Neither the Port Authority nor the stadium nor the New York Red Bulls publishes a distance in blocks or meters, checked September 2026.
No. The Port Authority publishes that MetroCard and SmartLink acceptance ended on August 31, 2026, and that as of September 1, 2026 neither card is accepted at PATH. Fares are paid with a TAPP Card or a contactless card, phone or wearable device.
A venue whose fans arrive on one line, through one station, on one fare has left that fare to a club page that got it wrong and the walk to an adjective. The railroad is the reliable half of the trip, and it is the half nobody at 600 Cape May Street writes down.
