MetLife Stadium, which is less than ten miles from the regular home arenas of both the Rangers and Devils, is scheduled to undergo renovations after the end of the
2023 National Football League season in preparation for the
2026 FIFA World Cup, and therefore several low-level sideline seats were covered with tarp prior to the Stadium Series.[3]

the Gaslight Anthem performed "
Howl" during the first intermission and after any goals scored by the Devils.[8] The national anthem was performed by saxophonist and
