GRADUATION CEREMONY VENUE REVIEW:…read more With it being graduation season, this is a review of Prudential Center as a commencement ceremony venue. Because of preparations for FIFA World Cup 2026, many schools that would have held their graduation ceremonies at MetLife Stadium have changed locations this year. I attended a commencement at Prudential Center last week. Here are my pros, cons, and heads-ups for anyone going to 'The Rock' for a graduation ceremony for the first time. Pros: - it's an indoor arena, so inclement weather be damned - it's climate controlled, so take that summer heat and humidity! - high resolution projection screens; real-time video projection images are so sharp and clear - audio is great inside Prudential Center, so you can actually hear speakers clearly and graduates' name - comfortable seats imo - good concession stands - cute photo ops inside the arena Cons: - traffic getting into downtown Newark can be horrendous; that's just how it is so allot extra time for travel Heads-up: - If you are driving to Prudential Center, know you will be spending money to park if you want to be close to the venue. - Make sure to read Prudential Center's bag policy so you won't be stopped at security and told to use a locker if your bag is too big.

Nice venue in downtown Newark for sports and concerts and shows. Came tonight to see Stars On Ice…read more2026. The arena was very clean and the layout was not confusing. Of course food and drinks were very expensive. Going through security was a little bit hectic, but once we walked pass the area things were much calmer. The staff was nice. I found parking within a 4 minute walk from the arena. Will definitely come back again if there is something of interest to me.

But while everyone else was seeing Benson Boone and Jay Z, my mom took me to see Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind and Fire. A time was had. My mom had a great time! I felt like things were orderly and the show was fabulous. The concert when on til almost 1030. A time was had. People were dancing in the aisles in the way out. I will always love MSG. History gets made here. I'm grateful to be part of it.

Went here with my family for a game and it was fantastic. I used to live in the area when the…read morePatriots were just an independent team. Saw the AA affiliate of the Mets play here and it was amazing. Glad that you can still use cash to pay for concessions here. I hope they keep it that way.

First visit and a time was had…read more Landed at EWR from LAX and went straight to the venue. I was both tired and hungry. I was with my sister and nephew who both come here often so I had zero worries. We parked at a small lot which I think was under a bridge of sorts. It was fairly empty and cost less than parking at the stadium. The walk over was under 5 mins. Double score. The Red.Bulls ended up winning over Washington. It was a great game despite the sweltering heat. We were on the first row, to the side of the goalie, but on the opposite side of the home team where all the fun stuff was happening. I noticed during the halftime show that all the fun activities were happening on the other side. Leaving for us was a breeze since we weren't fighting all the other folks exiting. So many cars were honking at the folks cutting them off. The sun had just set as we walked out of the stadium. What a sight to behold. The only concern for me is that their food selection was limited.

So I came here for the 1st to see one of my favorite acts Rufus Du Sol for a concert 7/25/2025 …read more Never been here before. Thank God I had no problem getting in but I wasn't in general admission . I had seats . I did wish later that I was in general admission for better views and experience . The Merch experience was also pleasant . Better merch inside than the outside one which had a long lines . Inside no lines . Getting there early - no ljnes for food/ drink or bathroom but later it was crazy. The stadium was clean and nice The reason for the 3 stars was that the parking situation and leaving was horrendous . I was stuck in the parking lot for over and hour trying to get out . Other than that area is congested so understandable that there was traffic but the parking lots by the stadium are so poorly managed . Parking lot was gravel/ rocks and areas with flood puddles . And One exit out ? Dangerous and horrendous . One of the reasons why I may never come back to this venue unless I figure out another way that is easier to park and leave . Again I came because of my favorite group was play in here and no where in the area this year.

Reasonable ticket prices and a good place to have a good time for everyone of all ages. The…read morestadium is modeled after the new Yankee Stadium which is kind of cool. Concession stand prices are also reasonable. The food is really good. I really enjoyed the mac n' cheese bites. It's one of my favorites. If you are looking for something to do, whether you are a small party or a big group or family, strongly consider coming to the game. It's a lot less of a hassle going to a major league stadium. Parking is easy, free, and it doesn't break the bank. Traffic is relatively non existent. It's a win all around.

Best food is a Moe's kiosk, fresh hamburgers, Finks BBQ and Mr. Myagi, for teriyaki bowls. 16 candles yogurt. Parking 5 bucks. 16 dollars and I'm behind home plate. A lot of giveaways. Live bands and fireworks. Great games too. I love Citi Field, but for a local game and fun, this place is great. Let's go Boulders! Rock on!

The ground doesn't have a parking spot and there are parking outside , but no clear indication if it was the ground parking or the hotel/university parking. I did t want to get charged for illegal parking. I hence had to drive a few minutes to get to a closed parking garage . No machines here . Had to pay online using a PayByPhone app. Took me 30 mins end to end for parking . Food was expensive inside : tasted ok. Not that good . Make sure you eat outside before coming to the ground . Overall it was a good experience for the event , but parking/food wasn't that good..

Free parking. An intimate venue. And baseball. How much better can it get?…read more When I travel during summer, I take in baseball games ... many of them of the Minor League or independent league variety. This team -- from the players to the ticket-takers -- doesn't disappoint. There's not a bad seat in the house, and the tickets are cheaper than a movie theater. There are plenty of picnic areas and umbrella tables along the concourse. No worries though, as you can still hear the umpire calling balls and strikes. I've had colder stadium beer and better ballpark hot dogs, but I certainly went back for seconds. Oh, and you're never more than 15-20 yards from a bathroom. Yogi Berra Stadium is the home of the New Jersey Jackals, a member of the CanAm (Canadian-American) independent league. The rosters of these teams are comprised mostly of players who are trying one last time to make it to the big leagues. Several players have made it as high as AA ball, but were released for one reason or another. In other words, the quality of baseball being played here is good ... I'd say between A and AA. If I lived around these parts, I'd be a Jackals regular for sure. For the people who do live within 20 minutes of this place (and there are many), oh how fortunate they are.
