and cops all over the place outside it is a bit of a red state
There are cops all over the place to prevent people from getting killed by the local gangs. Jersey is far from red - it's legalized civil unions for god's sake! And it's MUCH worse than Camden (albeit not where the Prudential center is located).
There actually are some good bars around the venue. The Devils are a professional sports team - the venue is actually very nice - and they have built up the area immediately around the "Rock" and the Performing Arts Center.
I saw Metallica there a year and a half ago - had a great time in an Irish bar (brand new) right around the corner from the venue.
But ya, as others have said, it's also easy just to be in NYC and then hop on a path train (or even NJ transit - and go one stop from Penn St.).

all that being said ...walk 3 blocks to the right and you're in for some interesting sights
i post on the board of a band that doesn't exsist anymore .......i need my head examined.......
Everyone knocking the area doesn't know what they're talking about. Of course there are some horrible parts of Newark but I've never had a problem when going to games at The Rock. Two nice bars in the area:
As for the search, I never found it too hard to get things in if I planned ahead. I'm always able to get my swiss army knife I have attached to my keychain in without a problem bu just holding my keys in my hand while they search me.
ok I admit my ignorance even though I'm from Jersey. Thanks for the tips. If I manage to sneak my bowl in you can hit it all you want.

ACTUALLY i know a few kids who are on the verge of giving up their season tickets because they're tired of this happening every game
its really sad actually
they treat people like terrorists( and mind you these season ticket holders are as straight laced as they come )
Sweet.
