Nets coming to Newark

by: Hopeful

Fri Mar 05, 2010 at 07:00:00 PM EST



Mayor Cory Booker welcomed the Nets to Newark's Prudential Center for the next two NBA seasons:

"I want to thank the National Basketball Association, the Devils, and the Nets leadership for their support, which has made Newark the new home for the New Jersey Nets. For the residents of the City of Newark, these are not just basketball games. Having the Nets call our city home signifies tangible hope, real inspiration, and many dreams coming true," said Mayor Booker.

Then he went one-on-one with Darryl Dawkins in his suit:

But I have to ask, what kind of attendance are the Nets expecting if the games are in the lobby?

Go NJ Nets (4.00 / 2)

The Prudential Center is so much nicer than the Izod Arena and more accessible for a large number of people.  The NJ Nets will offer some specially priced season tickets to Newark residents, and hopefully very low priced upper level seats - important given the high costs of today's  professional sporting events.

May the NJ Nets thrive there!

"The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." - Sen. Ted Kennedy

Prairie Home Companion... (0.00 / 0)
....is coming to the Pru on April 17.  That's worth making the trip from Cherry Hill for.
