hey guy (or gal)
i don't know about the stadium but they are scheduled to practice at Rutgers University, about an hour train ride south of NYC.
it should be a little less chaotic than Giants Stadium.

The only way you can attend the training sessions at Rutgers is if you bought VIP tickets at $150 a piece. It's a bit pricey but I'll be there....

if you go after the game to the back of the stadium thats wher they leave.
look at the tunnel where they enter the field. when the game is over, exit the stadium walk around to where that would be. thats where they leave the stadium and go to their bus/cars.
that being said, the bus will be behind a gate so they could get in without coming over to sign autographs. expect heaps of people too if they even bother to come over and sign any.

None of you of course will be attending the game in New York due to this minor detail of Giants Stadium being in New Jersey.
Rutgers Stadium and the practice facilities is in Piscataway, which is not directly accessible by train, so you'll need to get a bus/taxi/car ride from New Brunswick (Northeast Corridor) or Bound Brook (Raritan Valley line).
And of course there is no train service to Giants Stadium. Buses or cars only.

the vip package includes that practice at rutgers?????????
it would have been better if they had a meet and greet autograph and photo session with the teams!!!!!!!!!!
i wouldve gotten the vip but the damn practice and games are on a weeknight and i get out of work late..........
they could have made it a saturday night game.......

Just a heads-up to any Man United supporters in the NYC area who don't have tickets to the match at Giants Stadium yet...
Nathan Hale's Bar and Grille (http://nathanhales.citysearch.com/), the unofficial official home of Metros supporters in NYC, will be raffling off two pairs of tickets to the United-Juve show today, during the Metro-Colorado match (starting at 4 PM).
Along with this giveaway, NH's will have its usual plethora of beer specials, a full menu and casual friendly atmosphere (god, do I sound like an ad or what?)... Stop by if you can.
