About Prudential Center

Prudential Center is the arena at 25 Lafayette Street in downtown Newark. It opened in October 2007, and people call it The Rock. The New Jersey Devils play NHL hockey here, along with Seton Hall Pirates men's basketball and the New York Sirens of the PWHL, and the arena also hosts concerts and family shows. Newark Penn Station is two blocks away, and PATH's Newark terminal is a short walk. If you drive, more than 3,500 parking spaces sit within two blocks, and you can prepay through ParkMobile. The arena is cashless, and it does not allow backpacks or bags larger than 14 x 12 x 6 inches.
