They are known as the "Rock".
Hence most people affectionately refer to the building the same way.
As for the arena, it's the current home of the 3 time Stanley Cup Champion New Jersey Devils.
Starting in late October and/or early November later this year it will serve as the temporary home of the NJ soon to be Brooklyn Nets.
The Nets are suppose to play two seasons at the "Rock" before moving to Brooklyn, NY to call the Barclays Center their new permanent home in October 2012.
They just broke ground on March 11th for that new building.
It should be noted that basketball has been played at the "Rock" by the Seton Hall Pirates.
As for the building itself, it holds 17,625 for hockey and it should sit more than 18,000 for basketball.
It has two levels which is separated by a significant number of luxury boxes which is a must these days for professional sports teams to survive.
The concourses are very spacious on both levels.
They have a restaurant/bar built into the lower bowl for its upscale clientele which is part of the fancy Club seats they offer.
It's a nice place to view a game and a way to spend some quality time with good friends, acquaintances and clients.
It's easily accessible by public transportation.
It's located in downtown Newark within a short walk of Newark-Penn Station.
NJ Transit trains stop there from all different parts of New Jersey.
In addition, people who live and/or work in New York City can take the Path train there as well.
Driving is always an option of course.
Furthermore, you walk through the Gateway Center en route to the arena where you'll find a number of places to eat along the way.
Moreover, there's a district in the vicinity called Ironbound where fans go to hang out before and after the game.
I have full season tickets to both the Devils and the Nets.
If you're interested, let me know and hopefully we can work somthing out in the future.
