If you’re planning around the FIFA World Cup at MetLife Stadium, don’t wait until June to think about reach.
The tournament runs from June 13 through July 19.
MetLife hosts 8 matches, including the Final.
That means weeks of steady movement across North Jersey.
Not a spike. A pattern.
Most brands will lean into screens.
Street-level OOH captures what screens miss: repeat exposure along real routes.
AR James Media operates a Hudson and Essex County transit shelter network built for that exact purpose — Bergenline Ave, Journal Square, Broad Street Newark.
Why transit shelters win during major live events
Live events change behavior in simple ways.
People move the same routes.
They travel in groups.
They repeat routines.
Transit shelters sit directly in that flow — at bus stops, transfer points, retail corridors, nightlife blocks, and arterials feeding MetLife.
That’s how recall is built.
Not once. Over and over.
