[...] that it was strange not to ever see construction cranes in Newark. Sure, they happen from time to time, but they’re not constantly around like in Jersey City or [...]

Newark is going to come out better then well. One of the reason the crime rate has spike in recent years, is due to the fact that the city is cleaning up. As for parking that can be created. One of those warehouse’s down neck could very easily be knock down to make way for a parking lot.

Also they could always bring the light rail to the arena the track are already there. If I’m not mistaken a street car use to stop in that area back in the day.

I think Camden’s a different story altogether on the mere fact that it doesn’t share Newark’s potential or crime rate (the latter being worse in Camden). But agreed, I too think Newark could use a ‘feather’ in its cap

I don’t think it’s going to work… look at the Tweeter Center in Camden, which did not make that city a safe, fun destination. People who take the train will never actually set foot in the city once the pedestrian walkway is in place, and people who drive (where will they park??) probably won’t stick around once games are over at 10:30 at night. But I really hope I’m wrong because Newark could use a feather in its cap and so could the businesses in the Broad Street district.

Trust me it’s going to be a great financial
engine. Any one who wants it fail want to keep Newark trapped in ruins. It’s a great city with a lot of potiental. It you do not wish to the best for the city, then get the hell out. The city of Newark will move forward without you.

‘joe mama’ why would you want the arena to fail? Do you not want the arena and surrounding areas to be a success and put some of the flavor back in Newark? I’m glad Vanderbeek took the chance when so many people wouldn’t, why would anyone want against it? I would think more people would be against the Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn. I hope the arena is a great success
