Since MSG is being renovated... If y'all are planning on heading back to the NYC area, why not come to the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ? Its a nicer area of Newark, near Newark Penn Station, thus accesible via transit, the arena is very new, and brings in acts like MSG does i.e Lady Gaga, etc.

PLEASE consider it! Would be STELLAR!

Better then the Meadowlands of the god-forsaken Nassau.

how big is the place ?

I am actually talking about the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ not the njPAC. But the njPAC would work too!
The Prudential Center is a hockey arena:
Capacity - 17,625 for hockey and 18,500 for basketball

I hope they stay away from Nassau. Back in the day, it was one of the two most hated Grateful Dead venues along with the Capitol Center.

Loads of security, and the place was run down in the early 90s!

wow pete i am surprised to hear that- we've always enjoyed it there (except the walk from the show to the train!!) we were there in 09 i think it was further but it could've been other ones- anyway the scene was way chill and the cops riding around on the horses were very nice - lets just say i was unaware that they were comming up behind me and was having a good time and when i turned around to see them--uh oh!! anywhere else i would have been assuming the position and getting my butt hauled off to jail!!! i was so Grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!
the show really rocked and all was good--we went to MSG the next night- now that scene was a downer and if we didn't have a hotel room across the street to party in -that show would have been just average--although the sound of all singing uncle johns in perfect time was amazing and just thinking of it gives me chills!


"Test me test me, why don't u arrest me!?"

newark sucks, i hope they don't replace nyc shows with newark. it's a bitch to get to from nyc too. i'd rather see them go back to coney island personally, though that had some travel issues too...

Newark is one stop on the Northeast Corridor Line from Penn Station. And about half an hour on Path, which runs 24/7

Perhaps it changed. As I said I was last there in 1994, 17 years ago.
