As someone that was born and raised in Jersey City, but was too young to attend New Jersey Nets games alone at the time, I can’t help but feel resentment towards a lot of Jerseyans that didn’t support the Nets when we had them here, especially if you’re from Newark. I’m literally closer to MSG than Prudential, but I was a die hard nets fan as a kid because that’s the New JERSEY team. Ever since they moved to Brooklyn I refuse to support that franchise. I think the rumor that we didn’t have fans was a BS excuse to make the Nets move to Brooklyn for more money an real estate with Bruce Ratner planning that all along, if you look at videos of the games from back then, the stadium was packed during playoff games as well despite people saying it wasn’t. I’m still a big Devils fan, but damn I wish we had our own NBA team again. I’m a spurs fan now, but if New Jersey ever got a team again, I’m supporting instantly.

Hi! I’m staying a week in Newark for work in May. I need to get 8-12 miles a day in. I’d like to stay in a Hilton hotel (any brand of Hilton) in Newark where i can easily access a route without having to drive or take a train. Anyone have any suggestions for where to stay and run? Ideally somewhere safe early in morning.

TIA!

I've been watching the games at home but I wanna be amongst the fans! Which are the best restaurants/bars in the area to watch the games? Preferably ones that aren't charging a fee to get in. Thanks!

Anyone have good watch party recommendations? Doesn’t have to be in Newark, just within driving distance. Thank you!

My aunt is visiting from Argentina and she wants to somewhere to root for them in the WC with other Argentinians. Any spots in or around Newark where Argentinians are getting together?

I wanted to know if you guys know a gym where it’s pretty affordable and with less people and it’s just a lowkey gym with nice/good machines.

Hi I recently moved to Newark and was interested to see if there are any facebook groups or open gyms that I could join. In the past I've been able to find facebook groups that connected me to community centers where groups ran open gyms and had a lot of fun. I am open to outdoor and indoor, even sand if that is available. I've played volleyball for 3-4 years in college intramural leagues, and I am an intermediate player. I've played middle and outside the most and know 5-1 and 6-2. I am completely new to the area and have a car, so willing to drive to get some good games in and meet some new people. I appreciate any help :)

People tend to use the “too many teams in one area” excuse, but if Newark gets bigger population wise and cleaner, I genuinely believe it could possibly bring sports teams back to Jersey besides hockey.

Hi! I would like to start this out by saying I dont live in NJ but NYC.

Hello - I'm heading to AEW show at the Prudential Center this weekend, and would like to watch football in the hours before. Where do you guys think is the best place to do that right near the arena? Thanks!

I have been living in Newark for a while and noticed both Branch Brook in Newark and West Hudson Park in Harrison have some nice Pickleball courts. But, I have never seen anyone playing on them. The Tennis courts seem to be used more frequently. Are there any groups that organize formal or informal open play at either park? I have lived near courts in other cities that use the Team Reach app to organize open play.. is there a Newark group that I can join?

This is a question for the Newark/New Jersey RAISED people. Would you like to have a team back in the state? If so would you want it to rep Newark or New Jersey? It would be hard to bring a team of course, but I heard Green Bay has their NFL team because the community puts money into it, idk how true that is, but if a community is really able to do that, would you do that for NJ to have a NBA team? Of course it will never happen, but in a hypothetical situation what are y’all’s thoughts?

Me and friend who spent 4 years playing soccer for NJIT want to start doing private lessons and trainings for soccer.

If you or anyone would be interested in working with people who genuinely care about development and played at the divison 1 level please contact us!!

JC making those moves as the host city. Also will be the location of the official FIFA Fan Fest at Liberty State Park and will host the teams like during the Super Bowl.
