I'd really like to go this year, I couldn't make it last year. Hope they announce it soon. does anyone know when the season schedule comes out?
I watched some of the open practice clip, it was so weird seeing how many of those guys are no longer Nets..Kinda upsetting..

I was going to it last year but didn't. I went to the cookout and two of the four "Paint The Town Red" event before the first preseason game. I went to the ones in Edgewater(I think), and the one at the McDonald's in Union.
