I'm not going to the game but I throw this out there for discussion...someone should take lead on this and get a plan.
First Off: You might have possible ticket issues in the visitor section (friggin amateur hour in Piscataway)
http://the-boneyard.com/threads/rutgers-stadium-is-a-joke.25008/
Also, expect to sit in traffic if you arrive to the stadium like the rest of the lemmings. I.E. arrive 60 mins prior to kickoff and exit I-95.

The official Rutgers University web site has directions from several approaches. I have been told by a Rutgers fan to forget them. Generally your best course of action is to:
I-287 exits 7 and 8 both have signs directing you to Hoes Lane which eventually becomes Route 18 as you head south, however you will then take the RAC exit or Campus Road exit before getting on to Route 18.
Use this Map of New Brunswick, NJ US as a guide.
Tailgate Lot: Personally I would get Cuse fans together ASAP and arrange to meet at the Greek Church. It is a 500 yard walk to the stadium and opens 5 hours before kickoff. It is pricey at $35 but allows a quick exit after the game. http://www.rutgersfootballparking.org/index.php
Second choice would be Johnson Park
Johnson Park is located across the street from the stadium and snakes along the Raritan River. It offers convenience but it costs a rather pricey $30. Expect heavy traffic in the area around game time. Arrive early for the best parking and least hassle. This site drew rave reviews from several of my buddies In Nov 2010. They loved the closeness to the stadium and park setting. I highly recommend this for visiting fans who plan to arrive 3+ hours early. NOTE: Johnson Park is located in a flood plain and can be closed during periods of heavy rain or heavy rain within a few days prior. If you are bringing a big group to the park I would call the local authorities if it sounds like flooding is/was possible.

come in on I-287 and exit 7 or 8 (and follow signs. This is accessed from the New Jersey Turnpike (NJTP) exit 10 or The Garden State Parkway (GSP) exit 127.
Route 18 through New Brunswick will take you extra time on game day, and River Road is the absolute worst way to get to the stadium (TRAFFIC).
