Planning To Go Watch Brick's Football Team In Title Game? Here's What You Need To Know

BRICK, NJ — For the second time in the last four years, the Brick Township High School football team is looking to add another chapter to its rich football history.

The Green Dragons are making their 13th trip to the NJSIAA sectional championships in school history; they have seven titles, going back to their Central Jersey Group IV title in 1974 when Brick beat Camden.

Saturday's game against Allentown in the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group IV title game is set for a 4 p.m. kickoff at Rutgers University's High Point Solutions Stadium, the third of four games scheduled for the venue on Saturday.

Brick (8-3) is the top seed, while Allentown (9-2) is the second seed. NJ.com offers these insights into what to expect from the two teams on the field.

If you are planning to go to the game, here is some important information you need to know:

Tickets: Adult tickets are $10. Students and seniors pay $3

Parking: $10

Tailgating: There was a flurry of reports earlier in the week about a ban on tailgating at the state championship venues. According to MyCentralJersey.com, Kevin Lorincz, Rutgers University senior associate athletic director for communications, said the state university will enforce whatever is the NJSIAA's policy for sectional championship football games.

NJSIAA rules ban the sale and consumption of alcohol at all high school sporting events, including the state championship football games. To that end, officials said they are trying to curtail tailgating and partying.

Last year, tailgating and alcohol were blamed in an ugly fight caught on video involving adults at Brick Memorial's championship game against Jackson Memorial. Witnesses told the Patch some of those involved in the fight had been tailgating and drinking alcohol prior to the game.

Directions: High Point Solutions Stadium is in Piscataway. Take the Garden State Parkway north to Exit 105 and follow the signs for Route 18 toward New Brunswick. Follow Route 18 north to Piscataway, across the Raritan River, following the signs for High Point Solutions Stadium. Without traffic, the trip is about an hour, but expect heavy traffic on Saturday.
