Johan Santana — The Mets’ newest savior
If you’re a Mets fan like I am, there is no doubt in your mind — Feb. 1, 2008 was one of the greatest days in the history of the franchise. The team finalized a deal with the best pitcher in baseball, Johan Santana. For the next six years, Santana will pitch for the New [...]

A Prudential error
A little more than six weeks into its existence, Newark’s Prudential Center is a colossal failure. Now I understand completely that we’re just six weeks into its life, but new arenas almost always have their best days right at the very beginning. This cannot be said of The Rock. And it’s a downright shame.
It cost [...]

Not even a new arena helps Devils draw fans
Ah, the perks of playing hockey at a new arena. Just a little less than a week ago, the New Jersey Devils played their first-ever game at the Prudential Center in Newark in front of a sellout crowd of 17,625. Last year, the Devils didn’t sell out a single home game during the regular season. [...]

Tickets remain for Devils’ home opener
Are you a fan of The New Jersey Devils who assumed the first-ever game at The Prudential Center was sold out? Think again. Tickets in many price categories still remain for the Devils’ inaugural game at The Rock. (Looks like not even a new building can get The Devs to sell out a game). For [...]

A new Mecca in Newark
I might be biased because I am a huge fan of The New Jersey Devils.
But if The Prudential Center — or, The Pru or The Rock has it’s been dubbed — isn’t the most beautiful and advanced arena in America, let alone the National Hockey League, I’m still waiting to see it.
Last week, members of [...]
