message: Seton Hall University's basketball team is also moving into the Newark Arena with the devils. I am pretty sure that next basketball season the team will be playing in the arena.

message: The Bon Jovi concert dates are start in late October, well into the NHL season. Are the Devils playing the entire month on the road, or is the arena opening prior to that for Devils games? 213.219.31.34 19:04, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on when they complete the construction. The Devils expect to open the season there but the organization talked with the NHL about the possibility of starting the season on the road if the arena opening is delayed. As far as I know everything is on pace for the Devils to start the season there but it remains to be seen if it happens. JRWalko 19:13, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: October 27th will be the first Devils home game. JRWalko 18:06, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Is Bon Jovi opening the arena, or are the Devils?

message: The reason for this edit is to expand upon what will make the soon-to-be-opened Prudential Center such a "first-class facility" (as it has been described). New sports venues tend to stand out from older ones because of their architecture, amenities, and features. Yet, prior to my edit, the only information provided about the Prudential Center was its construction history and information on its naming rights. I think that the article was a little lacking, considering the arena opens in 7 weeks and will have what has been described as some of the nicest amenities of any arena in North America. Hopefully, the "Features" section I just added will address that issue. Y2kcrazyjoker4 15:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Is the outside completed? Can someone take a picture so we can replace the artist rendering. Thanks ccwaters 20:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I will, if no one else does, on November 16th, the first Devils game I have tickets for. --Michael Greiner 20:34, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I may take a trip just to check it out, so I'll try. That is if time is permitting, ofcourse...so don't count on me doing it...but I'll make an attempt to. BsroiaadnLet's Go Devils! 05:27, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just found out I'll be in Newark on the 28th, but not at the arena. (Visiting NJIT) If I can somehow get over to the arena I will take a pic or two. --Michael Greiner 01:52, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have season tickets, so I'll be at the arena opening night... you can bet your ass I'll be taking pictures, and I'll upload the good ones. Anthony Hit me up... 13:12, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

text: I got one tonight, pretty much the same angle as the artist rendering since it's difficult to get a good shot from anywhere else on the ground. I think I put the correct tag on it, I just uploaded it and will add it now. If anyone has a better one, please replace it. Also, please correct the tag if it's not the correct one, it's on commons right now. BsroiaadnTalk 06:25, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it safe to remove the about a planned or proposed arena designation at the top of the page? I've started going through the article to change tenses and consolidate citations with the main website. New to the user community, please provide feedback! adelsr 17:25, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I thought Prudential had been bought out by then Washington Mutual (now WaMu). Shouldn't it be WaMu Center? I didn't know the name Prudential existed. Or is it like America West, which is really US Airways? Basketball110 (talk) 03:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Prudential was not bought by WaMu. --Michael Greiner 04:38, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Prudential or WaMu? 

message: It seems pretty awkward to mention NJIT in the lead for its home stadium. NJIT has a contract to play only six games on four dates at the Prudential Center. The Center is NOT home for NJIT like it is for the Devils, Ironmen and the Pirates. There is absolutely no venue information for NJIT on the Prudential Center website. But, if you mention NJIT then you would really have to mention all the different venues that have a contract with the Center and that includes high school events too: and that's a lot! So, it's probably best to keep it limited. On the other hand, for the time being it can stay in the lead (although edited a bit), if no one else has a problem with it.? aNubiSIII (T / C) 16:58, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think the Center has any high school sports yet. It should be listed somewhere in the article but maybe not in the infobox. If Seton Hall's women's team, who play 0 games at the arena, is in in the article, then NJIT should be in. --Michael Greiner 18:07, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

AmeriHealth bought naming rights to the arena.
And Jon Krawczyk, a Devils fan and sculptor is creating a 30 foot tall polished stainless steel hockey player sculpture for the arena.

message: Before this section gets out of hand, can we establish some groundrules on what goes in this section? Perhaps limiting it to truly historic events (arena firsts, championships), and then a sentence similar to "In addition to...., Prudential Center also hosts concerts, WWE wrestling, mixed martial arts ....". I've seen these sections get really out of control in other articles (see BankAtlantic Center for instance) listing every event to ever take place. I think citing every performance is a bit overkill. Just being a bit proactive here... -Sme3 (talk) 14:26, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The center will (or has recentl) opened an outdoor restuarant near the plaza outside if this could be added into the article somehow, the main website lists this as well.--Cooly123 00:26, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I agree with 38.140.131.162 that the field size figure looks very large. The source gives a figure of 850,000 square feet, but it doesn't specify what that's a measure of - is it possible that figure includes all the internal floorspace in addition to the field? Is there another source that could be used to check this? GirthSummit (blether) 18:33, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The parameter "dimensions" is for the size of a playing surface, like a baseball or football field. It's not for the square footage of a building. See Template:Infobox venue#Parameters. --JonRidinger (talk) 20:12, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

message: Why is an image that is 15 years old showing a skewed version of of the Prudential Center with a parking lot better (as claimed) than a 4 year old front on image of that much better represents the current situation?

replies: text: The angle shows the circular entrance towers, a major architectural feature of the building. They're not visible in the other image. Also, you put this in the wrong talk page. oknazevad (talk) 14:28, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: So I did take it to the talk page. Wrong link. But will switch foto to address your concerns. What about the dates of image and representation of current situation? Djflem (talk) 14:43, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the new image is a good one. The wider shot makes a big difference. oknazevad (talk) 15:20, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
