Devils update
January 24th 2008 08:00 pm
The owner of the first place New Jersey Devils was just on TV. He said that 53% of the fans take transit to the Prudential Center. Devils ticket sales are up 26% from last year. He also said they realize that there aren’t enough eating establishments for the non-premium ticket holders, so they’re planning to add three “pubs” - two on the upper concourse and one on the lower concourse.

That’s great news (even for fans of the other first place team in the Atlantic Division). I hope however that Newark’s existing restaurants - and maybe a few new ones - get to pick up the slack for the hungry hockey fans, rather than more Aramark-type in-arena concessions.

The Devils were in first place when I wrote that. Unfortunately, they blew a 2-goal lead in the third period.
