Anyone been to Bello’s Pub, Burke’s Tavern or Krug’s Tavern? I’m trying to find somewhere new to pregame tomorrow night.

Krug's has some of the best burgers in NJ apparently (I haven't had, just going off of what I have read/heard)

Anyone know how to check and see how many buybacks you have remaining? I came across it once, but now it seems like it’s gone.

I don't know if you can do it on mobile but on the computer just log into your account and on the drop box under your name click 'Account Activity', it should be there (at least the number of times where you have used a buyback).

They also send an email any time you do a buyback so can always check that too unless you deleted them

They are.

Just a note, the fries trays are huge so one is good enough for 2 people.

And make sure to get the wings with the secret sauce.

Can't remember the last time I've been to the Prudential Center to see a game, but going on Thursday.

What is the deal with the bag policy? Do they still have you put it in those lockers outside the arena? Can you bring any type of bag in?

Thanks in advance.

Just goes based on size and yeah still lockers...

"Bags up to 12"x14" are permitted inside Prudential Center. Anything larger, including backpacks, are not permitted, with the exception of childcare or medical bags. Permissible larger bags will be X-rayed.

All bags are subject to search by Prudential Center security team members at each point of entry. Bags that do not meet these expectations must be returned to the guest’s vehicle or stored in a Prudential Center supplied locker at the guest’s expense. Lockers are located outside the M&M's Tower and Lafayette Street entrances."

hi all,

have the opportunity to see a devils game for the first time in a few years next month. tickets for the bud light goal bar are $150, but I can also sit in the lower bowl corner for $150.

has anyone been there? is it worth it?

are they still calling it the goal bar? I thought they became the lofts? in any case i would absolutely go with the loft/goal bar if the prices are the same because you get the food and soft drinks for free like the club sections on the sides. like someone else said you have a semi private area and the bathrooms are empty.

Haven't been to a game in a few years, plan to be there Saturday night though. When I had season tix, I used to park in the below lot. I know it used to be open for everyone, but just making sure it still is. And I assume its cash only yes?

That is the same lot that I always used to use, simply because it was cheaper for a time and easy in and out from Newark on Broad St. However, I do believe that this lot isn't accessible anymore and you have to take the right on E. Kinney St. and enter the lot on the other side on the left.

For what it's worth, I believe parking there is now $30 as well so it's not the cheaper alternative anymore. There is a garage just a couple of streets down from there closer to the arena on Green St. that costs just as much that I've used this year and have no complaints.

Agree with @Better Call Dano

I didn’t mean to make the picture semi phallic but I circled 2 lots that I believe you can use even without pre-paid parking and the arrow points down the road to where the parking garage is on Green St.

If you use the parking garage it has 1 way streets on each side, so if you’re approaching it the way the arrow is pointing the garage is on your left and you will need the street before the garage.

Hello! I love that you are traveling from Finland to see a few Devils games. You'll have a great time. Hopefully the Devils are in a playoff spot because the arena atmosphere will be amazing if so.

The area around Prudential Center (called "downtown") isn't dangerous, especially during the day and during events. Newark does have some dangerous areas but it's a large city and those areas are far from the downtown/arena district. At worst, I would say that you don't want to walk around from midnight to sunrise. You will see some homeless people, who may ask for money, but I have spent many hours in that area on game days and non-game days, and never had an issue. There are a lot of businesses and police in that area so they keep it safe. It's mainly just people working and shopping. Just north of the arena is Military Park, which is a great place to walk around for a bit. Even if you don't stay in Newark, I would recommend getting to Newark a bit early one of the game days and walking around a bit. There's also a part of Newark called The Ironbound (east of the train station) that is a very good community with amazing restaurants. In general, if you need restaurant recommendations, let us know!

That said, I would recommend that you stay in either Hoboken or Jersey City (closer to the Hudson River). These areas are really nice! They are full of great bars and restaurants, plus you have incredible views of NYC and you can stroll up the river. Just south of this area is Liberty State Park, which is a great place to walk around. Staying there also allows you to easily take the PATH train west to Newark for games or east into NYC to explore the city.
I'm feeling quite lucky right now. When in purchaced those 6 tickets for 3 games in Septemper I got them quite cheap (less than $400). Now when I'm looking prices for similiar seats, those are more than $1000 in total :)

But most lucky I'm feeling that I get to see them being relevant. I was expecting improvement, but nothing like this.

Little more than 3 weeks to start of my trip :)

I've been to the new Islanders arena but not for hockey, I wish we had the entrance they have, there's so many more doors and security checking people and people scanning tickets that it makes getting into the arena so much easier.

Most of the other rankings for the ones I've been to I agree with. I've been to Nashville, Dallas, San Jose(not for hockey), St. Louis, Anaheim, Chicago, Washington, Toronto(not for hockey), Boston, Rangers, Ottawa, Carolina, and Buffalo.

I've been to the old Penguins and Red Wings arenas and both would have been at the bottom of the list for me. I haven't been to the Flyers arena since their major renvo but their arena was always ok.

My biggest complaint about Prudential is that we should have fan friendly concession stand pricing. The food and drinks are so overpriced and the food stinks for the cost. The bathrooms need a renvo and the non club black seats are nearing the end of their lives. So many stains on the fabric of the regular seats that it's looking really grimy lately.

The design to enter the building is also really poorly planned but it could also be alleviated if they would put more rope queues and people scanning tickets to direct the traffic better to the escalators.

The so few entrances is a little mind boggling at this point. It's hard to believe that it's been 16 years since the doors opened, which would put us at 1998 if you compare to the CAA - and at that point, I believe the seats were replaced with the gorgeous pink seats :p I'm assuming materials improved in that time - but you maybe right - might be time for an update. I've not had issues with the seats, but can def see how it could be.

The lines and process to get in the arena lately have been worse than the TSA, and there really isn't much that can be done about it. I remember when the place first opened they promised another entrance from the Broad Street side but that never happened. They also promised new seats in the 200s that never came, but at this point it's time for new seats in the entire building. The ones in the 100s are downright filthy at this point. It would also be nice to have some water in the bathrooms that's not numbingly freezing cold too. Apparently help is on the way with the food next season.

I haven't driven to the Rock in a few years. Whats the parking situation price wise? Is park mobile the move?
if you use parkwhiz to book and you're not comfortable leaving your keys with the attendant, make sure you read the fine print about is the lot a possible valet or just a park and go.

i've used the new garage on green st. a few times. it's $30. you scan your barcode when you get there. many of the lots appear to have gone cashless and it's just a machine now.

also, if you book, make note of the enter time. it won't let you enter the lot even if you're a couple minutes early from your arrival time.

I've seen people on different forums saying their ticket reps have told them this is the last year with whoever the vendor is right now and it's supposed to be much better next year. I think someone mentioned the same company that Yankee Stadium uses.

I believe Legends hospitality already does, but maybe it'll be improved - really needs it.
