Nets still on track for Brooklyn
NYPost.com
by Peter Vecsey
What in the good name of Sharpe James is going on here?
Seems a truce is in the works between New Jersey's two major sports arenas -- the Izod and Prudential centers -- in an effort to keep the Nets from exiting the Garden State.
The two venues would form a ven ture called Jersey Presents, with the Nets and Devils playing in Newark, and concerts, circuses, etc., playing exclusively in East Rutherford.
Sounds good except for one nitpickin' nuisance -- the Nets are Brooklyn-bound.
NoLandGrab: Vecsey goes on to opine that the Nets' move to Brooklyn is a foregone conclusion, which it still ain't, of course, but one does have to wonder — what does New Jersey Devils owner and Prudential Center principal Jeff Vanderbeek know that we don't? He's trading concerts and family events for the Nets, which could be a short-term proposition — or maybe not?
