Fun Fact: five of the past team captains for the US Men's soccer team have come from the West…read moreHudson region of NJ. (So it's only fitting - and long overdue! - that there was a proper soccer store reigning in West Hudson.) I was legit shocked just how much stuff they have here. I walked in assuming "small shop, small inventory" but I was completely wrong. From shorts to a slew of balls (of varying sizes and clubs/countries) to jerseys (representing every major league around the globe) to sneakers/cleats to jackets to an entire wall supporting local teams (Thistle, Kearny and Paisley Athletic) even a "Ref's Corner" where you can pick up the dreaded yellow/red card set. And a really interesting feature (I hadn't seen before) - there's an enclosed "mini-makeshift pitch" that looks like little kids could go and run around to play a bit of soccer and/or you can try your new sneakers to see how they'd actually feel on turf. (I also eyed up a pretty sweet foosball table but I'm not sure if that was for everyone or just the staff while on break.) The owner is a great guy and the staff were phenomenal... they offered help but weren't pushy. They were excitedly talking about soccer teams/matches amongst themselves and when we went to the counter they couldn't have been more energetic or welcoming. (They were even good sports when I ribbed them for not stocking any AS Roma merch... just yet.) Roughly two miles from the Red Bulls Arena. About a mile from 'The Courts' in Harrison. Half-mile from the Kearny Scots Club. Soccer Town, USA (one of Kearny's official nicknames) now has a FIFA-approved (okay, I just made that part up) outpost where you can pick up pretty much whatever you need to get out and about for some footie. Granted - parking can be a nightmare but that shouldn't deter you from swinging by to check out what's what. "Chips on!"

Needed new turf soccer cleats for my rapidly growing 12 year old who had grown out of his shoes…read morepurchased 3 months prior. Called the store who checked their inventory for me for size 12 and 12.5 turf shoes & cleats. They had 2 reasonably priced options and we were able to go down, try them on and purchase them in time for day 2 of soccer camp. I was pleased with every interaction with the store and recommend it to all.

Prudential Center has never needed Manhattan's mythology to make an impression; some of my most…read morememorable nights in an arena have happened across the Hudson in Newark. The location does not have the gravitational pull of Madison Square Garden, but once you get there, the building is excellent: modern, well-maintained, and easy to navigate. Newark Penn Station is only a short walk away, and NJ Transit is usually a very workable option from Manhattan. You do have to respect weekday commuter traffic, because Penn Station at rush hour can become overwhelming remarkably quickly. Bruce Springsteen gave me perhaps the most quintessential New Jersey experience I have ever had. I was gifted a ticket way up in the nosebleeds with an obstructed view literally behind the stage, and I could not have cared less once the show started. I am definitely a fan, and seeing this New Jersey legend perform in the motherland, surrounded by all that loyalty, pride, and unmistakable Jersey energy, was genuinely magical and inspiring. As a non native, that night brought me closer to a state that can sometimes be misunderstood or lazily judged from the outside, but whose identity and loyalty are a huge part of what makes New Jersey so charming to me. Nothing, however, compares with seeing the Rolling Stones here on back-to-back nights. The Stones are absolute royalty to me, and I spent several hundred dollars per ticket to see them twice, which probably says more than anything about how meaningful those shows were. Watching Mick Jagger command an arena with that level of charisma, physical energy, and presence was one of the great live entertainment experiences of my life. I felt genuinely blessed to be there. Unfortunately, the first Stones night became chaotic before we even left Manhattan. When we reached Penn Station, NJ Transit service toward Newark was already stopped because of an accident on the tracks, so we scrambled downtown and took the PATH instead. We missed the first song or 2, which was painful after spending that much on the tickets, but once we got inside, the stress disappeared. Thankfully, night 2 was far easier and gave me the chance to absorb the entire show from beginning to end. Hockey gives me another reason to have a soft spot for this building because I have always respected the Devils as a franchise. Scott Stevens, Martin Brodeur, Patrik Elias, Scott Niedermayer, Claude Lemieux (RIP), and Ken Daneyko are among the players I have revered over the years, along with Zach Parise, Scott Gomez, and Jason Arnott. That history gives attending a Devils game more meaning to me than simply dropping into another NHL arena. The sightlines are strong, the food is solid, and the crowd has a grounded local personality that fits the franchise perfectly. Operationally, Prudential Center gets a lot right. The building feels cared for, getting around inside is straightforward, and public transit is the obvious choice when service is behaving normally. A cab or Uber from Manhattan works too, although the tunnel costs and pricing premium show up immediately. The people and overall vibe also feel more down-to-earth, which I have always appreciated about coming here. Living in Philadelphia now has given me a wider appreciation for the outstanding collection of city arenas across New York, North Jersey, and Philadelphia. MSG, Barclays Center, Prudential Center, and Philadelphia's arena are all excellent in different ways, with access, pricing, and surrounding environment creating most of the separation between them, and I would love to experience UBS Arena someday too. Prudential Center has given me the Devils, an unforgettable night with The Boss, and 2 extraordinary nights with the Rolling Stones. I am deeply grateful that a building I once thought of primarily as the Devils' home became the setting for some of the most meaningful live music experiences of my life.

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.
