    How to stay plugged in

    Complete season coverage: Head to NJCUGothicKnights.com/coverage for live stats, recaps, and streams if they’re available.

    The athletics department drops updates on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. You’ll catch highlights, roster news, and postgame reactions there—worth a follow if you’re a fan.

    What fans should know before heading to a game

    Want a smooth game night? Try to show up early for parking or public transit drop-offs.

    It gets chilly in the evenings, so bring an extra layer. And if you’re coming for Senior Night in wrestling, expect a little extra energy in the building.

    The John J. Moore Athletics & Fitness Center isn’t huge, so the crowd can get loud and the vibe is intense.

    Practical tips

  • Buy your tickets online ahead of time—lines can get long.
  • Check social media for any last-minute schedule changes or streaming info.
  • Arrive early if you want a good seat and some pregame buzz.
  • Connecting the games to your Jersey City visit

    Local travel, stays and neighborhood notes
