    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>He also blasted the state agency that runs the Izod Center for sign ing an agreement with the Nets that imposes fees up to $12 million if the team moves anywhere other than New York City.

    "That, to me, is beyond belief," DiVincenzo said, addressing a gathering he called of about 50 people, including city council members, county freeholders and state lawmakers. "How can they penalize the Nets for coming to Newark?"</div>

    So our own state is going to fine the Nets millions of dollars if they move to New Jersey's largest city instead of New York? That's so embarassing for our state I can't even quantify into words.

    Is it easy to get to the Prudential Center from NYC? How long does it take? I assume I have to take NJ Transit from Penn Station?

    Rock is in one of the best parts of Newark, if not the best.

    Easy to get to, nice. Parking is a pain and the Traffic cops are jerk's ( the one said get hit by a car see if i care on route 21)

    But the place is great, nice, safe area, easy to get it to.

    It beats anything Crooklyn can give.

    Oh yeah, did't you get a parking ticket too in Newark?
    </div>

    even the espn hockey analyst was talking about how bad the area was on espn [​IMG]

    i wont go to anymore nets games if they go there, i dont wanna drive any farther than i do now to go to games, an hour and a half is enough for me

    What direction you coming from? Newark maybe closer or the same distance for you. Even has the train that takes you right there.

    Yormak can't brand the Rock like it's a giant race car. Devils would never allow it.

    Nets rather make money guaranteed money on branding than risk making money on fans coming to the arena.

    If the Nets are losing to the Bucks at halftime, that would be a great time to close down the arena.

    god forbid they rely on a fan base that would more likely embrace them in a state of the art arena with easy access.

    Dont belive what Barry Melrose said, he cant even get anything Hockey related right.

    There is a reason why the Devils moved to Newark. The building is so mich nicer, it is in a nice part of town, it is easy to get to by train, the usher's are nicer, and the food stands are better ( yeah that has to be told)

    I hope Izod catche's fire and Crooklyn dies, that way I can just get on a NJ Transit train and be at the rock in 45 mins.

    10 minutes or less from Penn Station. It's the first stop in NJ.

    If you haven't been, I highly recommend it. It's a terrific experience.

    Eh. It's actually 15-20 minutes, but there are no stops and it costs $7 round trip.

    It's not always the 1st stop, sometimes they stop at Secause Junction. And be carefull about getting on those Trains that go to Hobooken.

    Depends. I am pretty sure most of them stop at Secaus Junction and then some go to the Ho of Boken and then some go to Newark and south.
