Satans Hockey Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) The train ride is like 20 to 25 mins, www.njtransit.com can give you all the schedules and prices. If you download the NJ transit app you can also just purchase your train tickets right on the app. Edited February 10, 2015 by Satans Hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellOnICE Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 From NYC. Trains are $5. You're going from New York Penn Station to Newark Penn Station. Yes they are both called Penn Stations. Train takes about 20 minutes. It's very quick. If you wanted to really walk around the building - I'd get there about 6pm. If this is your first time in around Newark - I would suggest going to Hobby's Deli. It's about a 5 minute walk from the building. So worth the trip. It's a old-style Jewish deli, the owners are big Devils fans and they have a game night menu that's really good. Better than the food in the building. http://www.hobbysdeli.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruM Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I've been wanting to jump on a plane and go see Arsenal play at Highbury (Emirates) for years now. It's just that I have no prayer for the spontaneity of it, can't just leave the rest of the Leeds' home while I gallivant around. Welcome and enjoy. I 2nd the Arsenal thing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDfan1711 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Man, very cool to hear someone just getting to attend their first Devils game, and also awesome to hear someone donate their tickets. Nice going. I've been to a few Devils games at CAA as a kid, but yet to return since the Rock was built to see a game there. Here's hoping I get to make a thread like this in the near future.

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks guys. It is Fecking freezing. But we spent the whole day walking around the city. Went to the NHL store and brought a hat as I left mine at home. Lucky my ears didn't fall off. Tomorrow is the big day. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately you are seeing the Rock with the Devils at their worst and playing possibly the worst team in the history of hockey, when it's possibly colder than it's ever been here in history. That said, please enjoy. McWhorter BBQ highly recommended before gametime. Though it's not the most happening joint if you want atmosphere.

devilsrule33 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Hope you have an awesome experience. I can't help but think you are watching the worst game record wise in 25+ years of Devils hockey, and up their in franchise history in front of one of what should be the smallest Devils crowd in a long time.

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Well I have been to my first Devils game. Wasn't the smoothest of experiences (my fault, massively underestimated how long it would take to get to NY Penn Station). But I did enjoy it a lot. Thank you Bonginator11 for the tickets :-) the seats were excellent and we got to see the devils shoot in the shootout. In terms of the crowd, it was quiet. My Girlfriend was looking forward to the atmosphere (she is not a hockey fan) after our trip to a DEL game in Cologne over Christmas. But she was just amazed at how little people were into the game. And I have to say it was quiet. I understand it is Tuesday , against buffalo, with snow, but even after the shootout everyone just bailed. One thing that did surprise me was the amount of children at the game. It can only be good for the future of the team. Hopefully the Devils can work to put a decent product on the ice to keep them interested. All in all I really enjoyed it. And I am looking forward to Fridays game to hopefully get there in time to go to the shop and rake some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, we might have played the worst team in NHL history but I am going to go ahead and give you credit anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad you couldn't make it in 2012, the atmosphere was always great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted February 21, 2015 Author Share Posted February 21, 2015 Haha. I don't actually leave till 8.30 PM tomorrow. So hopefully the luck stays for one more night. Had an awesome time at both games. Tonight was very exciting with the crowd getting into it. I was in section 5. There were some great people around us. I got was to over excited on the empty netter. Hugged one dude. Tried to high five another guy twice and missed both times. Epic fail. At the end of the game I shook one of the guys hands which he thought was hilarious and then proceeded to shake everyone else's hand around us. All in all it was a great night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hey at least now we can stop blaming Cory for screwing us out of a top draft pick and start blaming Chimaira. Jackass went 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Cold enough for ya CD? Lol. Hope you're having fun. It was positively tropical. Lol. Had an amazing time. Devils went 3-0-0 whilst I was in the state of New Jersey. If the organisation want to hire me for the rest of the year they will need to fly me back as I have just landed.

CHIP72 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Chimaira Devil - it sounds like you had a great time this past week. So glad you could fulfill a long-time dream. Hopefully the next time you come over to the NYC area it won't be so cold. (Much of the eastern U.S. experienced record low temperatures during the third week of February.) Incidentally, if/when you come over the next time, if you are in lower Manhattan prior to a game, you can take the PATH train from the World Trade Center site/Freedom Tower to Newark Penn Station.
