Newark should thrive this weekend

I actually had a similar conversation with friend at Bunny’s last night after the facility ceremony. “Think about how much more money Bunny’s would make if seton hall played home games a year on campus.”

If that were the case, it is without question in their best interest for seton hall to have a strong basketball program.
 
Tax dollars shouldn’t be spent on sports, but private businesses would definitely benefit from having strong sports teams in their community.

Bunny's is not in Newark?
Obviously I know that. I’m just pointing out that I coincidentally had a similar conversation yesterday, while at bunny’s, to the topic of this thread/article.

If seton hall played home games in south orange, bunny’s would undoubtedly profit.

So have the city government take local and state tax payer $$ and use it for pay for play for a private university not located in the city?

Lol okay.

And yes, keeping SHU bball relevant is as good as any other cause a government could pursue. Similar to helping with food stamps, etc.
Hey being born and raised in newark I can definitely tell you they have squandered tax payer money on a lot worse
 
Unfortunately a lot of the new visitors over the next few days will see the state of Newark Penn Station and remember to themselves not to come back.
Have to agree with this unfortunately. I was in the Ironbound for a dinner on Tuesday and took the train. Newark Penn Station is just as bad as it was years ago when I worked at Prudential.

Both of you are spot on. My brother worked for NJ Transit and we would meet for games. Very bad and a shame.

I do not agree with that. But the comment is not so much about the appearance/structure, but the fact that I don't believe anyone feels safe there.
I don’t know why they wouldn’t. The place is crawling with cops, but even if not, there’s nothing threatening about it. Not at all. You’d have to be pretty fragile to even perceive it.

Yeah, so if the state decided to provide some type of financial incentive to lure a business to Newark, would that be problematic? If they are willing to do that for a different business, why not Seton Hall. Heck, I'll make it simpler than that, have the state (or the city, but it's more likely to be the state) pay for Seton's Pru rental fee. Newark businesses get the financial bump up that Seton Hall games spring, Seton gets to keep more money from using the Rock in Prudential gets paid in full. Everybody wins right?

Oh, wait that means my tax dollars would be subsidizing both Rutgers and Seton Hall... never mind.
 
Unless I missed it during the broadcast last night, but no mention of Seton Hall as host team. They only mentioned home of devils and showed their banners.

Exactly why
Ctly why newark, pru center and devils should help fund NIL. Morecfannies in seats returns higher ROI for NIL investment
This is a good point. As an example Simon Property Group that owns many malls across the country will not allow their malls to have empty stores. If a tenant is having problems they step in. Aerospostale, Forever 21, Brook Brothers and JC Penny filed for bankruptcy and Simon bought the company or made an investment in them with private equity companies. They look at it as a return on investment.

Thanks. I forgot the promo angle. They could have shown our final four banner. ;). Not a big deal but would have been nice to hear home of the Seton Hall Pirates. Oh well. Fitting after the year we had. Ha

Except problem is SHU only plays approx 15 games a year at Pru and honestly Pru could probably fill a few of those dates with crowds for other events that draw even better than a good SHU team. Should they get some NIL from Pru Center, definitely but not sure whether a “good” SHU team affects the arena bottom line all that much in the end.

The Pru center looked great last night. Clean as a whistle. The crowd was ready but the game did not deliver.
