Does anyone know where the redwing are staying? I'm at the Hyatt Regency in JC and I swear I just saw a group of players getting on a bus.
Then it's probably them.
I know for a fact that the Sharks stay at the Westin Jersey City in recent years, but they've also stayed in Manhattan a lot when playing the Devils, so they didn't have to keep switching hotels and would just make that their base for the 5 days they were here playing the Devils, Rangers and Islanders. Especially when the Islanders were in Brooklyn those few years. Apparently other teams do the Manhattan thing when playing us too, that's how the Wild team bus got stuck in traffic in the Lincoln Tunnel and were late getting to the game last year.
I'm pretty sure most teams stay in Jersey City, but I also know some have stayed at the Short Hills Hilton as well. There's much more to do and better options for dinner the night before a game and walking and sights in Jersey City than out in suburban Short Hills.
I know back in the day teams stayed at the Hilton Hasbrouck Heights, but I doubt anybody stays there anymore after we moved out of the Meadowlands. That hotel was a bit dumpy like 25 years ago and I always thought at least from the outside the hotel in the Meadowlands was much nicer. It was a Sheraton at one point in like the 90's, not sure what it is now.
Although, that's probably no further from Newark than where the hotels are in Jersey City, especially not on weeknights during the start of rush hour when the team bus is coming through.
