The NBA x Newark: Enjoy it While You Can
Fake Hustle
This is a fan's photo essay of experiences visiting Newark's Prudential center to see the Nets vs. the Knicks. Near the end of the blog entry are despairing words about the chances of the Nets remaining in Newark.
Wrapping things up, having the Nets in Newark would really bring interest back in the waning franchise. But the NBA Lords don’t want that to happen so it’s just a pipe dream for now. Meanwhile, the people aren’t clamoring for the Barclays Center or Atlantic Yards. On another note, the traffic heading into the game was pretty bad even for Newark. Atlantic Avenue would easily be worse should people dare to drive in to the Barclays. Then again that’s why I suppose they’re building it right next to Atlantic Ave-Pacific St. Station. Oh well, it was great while it’s lasted. Now I just have to wait until spring when the league will take my team away.
NoLandGrab: Nobody can say right now what the outcome of the fight against Atlantic Yards will be. Maybe the Nets will find themselves permanently in Newark.
