HFDevils Official ‘20-21 Tickets and Prudential Center Thread (tickets are nontransferable in 2021)

[Satans Hockey]

The Jets and Giants also stopped season ticket payments back when Covid first hit which was nice of them. I’ve read some other teams weren’t as nice with deadlines being firm. I payed my Devils seats in full so the pausing of the payment plan didn’t really apply to me but I think they started charging again? Someone here could better answer that.

Yeah it was only to skip payments for a few months, maybe 2 or 3. I declined since it was just gonna make the payments bigger for the rest of the months but they have been charging me every month.

BREAKING NEWS in my inbox today from the Devils!

 

[Colin226]

Nothing too crazy, but I saw on Twitter that Wendy's just opened a location at 187 Market Street in Newark (which is between Broad Street and Mulberry). Open daily from 9:30am - 8:00pm.

I'm personally a big fan of Wendy's as far as fast food goes since I like the variety of grilled chicken sandwiches and their salads. So it's nice to add a quick, healthier (depending what you get) option for pre-game dinner.

I'm wondering what restaurants will still be there when things return to normal again. Dinosaur and Hobby's closed down in March and haven't reopened even for takeout sadly.

It says current members are automatically entered so you’d be eligible. But parking doesn’t interest me cause it’s easier for me to get out from the lot I park than from their lots at the arena.

I clearly can't read today lol parking doesn't interest me either I do wonder who the hell is exactly putting deposits down when we don't even know when or if games will be played or how reduced the capacity might be.

They see this email, oh I might be able to win free parking? Sign me up!

 

[NJDevs26]

Yeah the free parking might be for ten games instead of forty, or zero.

My guess is there's no way a current member will win if they're only picking one winner, and that this is just to appease the "No purchase necessary" legalese they have to put for contests.

Some interesting updates on the Prudential Center:


Seton Hall and Prudential Center to host 2025 NCAA Regional - Seton Hall University Athletics

Seton Hall University and Prudential Center have been selected to host an NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament regional in 2025, the NCAA announced Wednesday as part of its unveiling of more than 450 selections of host sites for preliminary rounds and final sites of predetermined championships in Divisions I, II and III, with most to be held from 2022-23 through 2025-26. The regional will take place March 27 and 29 in 2025.

This will be the first NCAA men's basketball tournament site in the state of New Jersey since Prudential Center and Seton Hall hosted the East Regional in 2011.

Via the agreement, Verizon will bring 5G innovation to Prudential Center and GRAMMY Museum ExperienceTM Prudential Center; this makes the home arena of the Devils the first indoor arena equipped with 5G technology in the State of New Jersey.

Who was the sponsor when that video board caught on fire in the Lafayette St entrance many years ago? Verizon, right? Wasn't there a dispute about who should pay for the damages Verizon or Pru Center? I could be way off but I remember something like that happening.

Good, because the service in that bldg is awful

Yup, it was a Verizon video board that caught fire in the Lafayette Street tower. I believe the story was that Vanderbeek argued they should have to pay for the damages and such. It pissed Verizon off so much that they basically cut all ties with the Devils and PruCenter. So to me this signifies a turning of the page, which is good because Verizon has deep marketing pockets and the arena is a great place for them to be advertising.

Ordered an iPhone 12 today so hopefully I’ll be able to take advantage of the 5G before I upgrade again in 6 years.

More news!

Newark plans new pedestrian skyway, and commuters are going to pay for it

The skywalk is the second phase of the city’s Mulberry Commons project, a long-sought concrete park that opened last year that sits across from Prudential Center. One of the entrances to the skywalk would begin on the McCarter Highway side of the park near the Ironside building.

NJ.com did a nice piece on Prudential Center being a polling site today:

I park at Block 182 as mentioned in the drawings so that would be awesome to not have to deal with crossing McCarter Hwy.

Great. Basketball.

I don't want it, the NBA bailed on NJ a long time ago so f*** them and it doesn't help the ice.

Take the positive point of view, would get Prudential Center employees working again while the NHL figures out if it'll play or not.

 

[SETHROLLINS]

I miss going to Pru Center for games. I miss the hockey of course but I probably miss seeing all my friends at the arena even more. Hanging with everyone makes the game feel secondary sometimes especially when the team hasn't been playing well. Can't wait to be back someday.....

 

[Satans Hockey]

Turns out those rumors were wrong, they can ruin Tampa Bay's ice instead of ours and lol...

Newark Penn Station to get $190 million makeover

The makeover will include restoration of waiting room benches and platform enclosures; brighter and more efficient LED lighting throughout the station; completely renovated bathrooms; restored and repaired platform doors; improved HVAC and air handling; and fresh paint and restored tilework throughout the station.

Combine this with the work on the bridge connecting it to the park in front of Prudential Center, and I think the experience of taking the train to Newark for events will be greatly enhanced. Hopefully that will help draw even more people to events at the arena as well.

New Jersey Devils on the Forbes The Business of Hockey List

Forbes updated their NHL valuations list. See above for the Devils' listing.

Team Valuation: $530 million (#15 in NHL)
Revenue: $152 million (#11 in NHL)
Operating Income: $4.1 million (#14 in NHL)
Gate Receipts: $36 million
Debt/Value: 24%

Here is the full list: The Business Of Hockey

A couple of interesting observations:

• Ahead of 3 Canadian franchises and just behind EDM in overall value
• Also ahead of last 2 Cup winners (Tampa Bay and St. Louis) in value
• #11 in revenue is fantastic - and higher in revenue than the Capitals
• Only $9 million behind Flyers in revenue (their fans make it seem like they would crush us here)
• Beat Islanders in overall revenue per fan, market value, stadium value, and brand value
