Mayor Booker is talking like a future Governor in the last paragraph. The vast majority of people in New Jersey know that the Meadowlands Arena is a money loser and waster. There is no better time than now to cut the cord of our tax dollars supporting that white elephant in the middle of a swamp (and next to the Xanadu trash heap). I was skeptical of the Newark Arena but boy I was wrong. It is a wold class facility with great amenities and super easy to get to via NJ Transit or by car with a vast amount of parking adjacent to the arena. I attended the Nets vs Knicks game a few months ago and there was a large crowd and people of all races and backgrounds, even saw lots of cards with NY License tags in the parking lot, though I took the PATH from Jersey City and was there in a heartbeat. I am hopeful the Nets play in Newark next season, it is best for New Jersey economically and also for pure enjoyment.
