Notch Novelty Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 I found this read on Yahoo! Sports page. I hope the Devils don't move but hope the Nets move to Brooklyn or Long Island. Attendance would definley go up for Devils but I guess they can't afford to be sole renter in East Rutherford. Maybe a move to Newark but don't leave New Jersey.Devils Moving?

Mac the Knife Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 The franchise has moved twice before... wouldn't surprise me a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 They are not going anywhere, this is just speculation. And the Nets aren't moving to Brooklyn. The bidder who will keep them in New Jersey is the favorite to win.Plus, I don't think the Knicks will let the Nets actually move into the city.

KCScout76 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 Probably no chance to move them back here to Kansas City The Kansas City Devils?  The Portland Sea Devils? ???  Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021     St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL)  2023 Champions   Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkrdevil Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 They need a new arena, no doubtYour telling me, That arena is crap. For some reason the sound won't stay in. And it's hard to get there in rush hour. But Newark is not the answer. That would hurt because no one would take a train and walk to the arena. And no one would drive because thier car would be stolen.If they could get trains to the meadowlands they would be fine. The main problem is the price of tickets. For the Philly game friday the upper deck was packed full but there were empty seats in the lower level.I can't see the state letting it's most popular team (Devils) leaving.

NJTank Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 This state will have nothing if they let the Nets and Devils leave. We can not allow it otherwise all New Jersey will be in a toxic waste dump. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-kj Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 It isn't already?  :: I can see it happening, but I don't think the chances are that great right now.Kansas City won't work for so many reasons--they never supported the Blades when they were there, and Kemper is nowhere close to being an NHL-caliber arena, though it isn't a horrible place to see a game.More likely, the usual suspects of Houston and Portland, Oregon, come to mind.

ChicoStater Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 ...also, if you were to move the Devils to Houston or Portland or somewhere out West, would you have a 16-14 distribution of teams in the conferences, or would you have a team switch conferences? If so, do you swap Columbus or Nashville? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwertman Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 with the new arena in Houston i can see them as a option for any team wanting to moveHouston Devils though?....they could bring back the old Apollos name and pay nitro to use his logo that would be cool Kings Cross AFC -BIP, Winnipeg Falcons - TNFF, St. Louis Archers - MLF  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 The Devils and the Nets are a real source of pride for New Jersey and I just don't see them leaving the state under any circumstance.

CJR Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 ...also, if you were to move the Devils to Houston or Portland or somewhere out West, would you have a 16-14 distribution of teams in the conferences, or would you have a team switch conferences? If so, do you swap Columbus or Nashville?You swap the Detroit into the Northeast and drop Boston down to the Atlantic. Â The Wings have been bitching about not getting to play Original Six teams other than Chicago for the past few seasons.Then when the Pens finally quit and head west, Columbus takes their place in the Atlantic. Â Maybe even shift the Wings into the Atlantic (and re-name the division) at that point and put Boston back in the Northeast.

JQK Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 The Meadowlands Arena is fine. It is a great arena, not a bad seat in the house, the drive isn't bad either. The only thing that blows is the Parking prices and the Ticket prices and the concession prices.... Too Much, Too Much, Too Much. No one will pay that much to go see games, especially in the blue-collar area that is Nothern New Jersey. The average working joe can't afford to take himself to a game, nevermind taking his son or family. Hockey around here has priced itself out of it's market.

NJTank Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 The Meadowlands Arena is a dump they need the luxury boxes, to survive. The corridors of the CAA suck too, I had my college graduation there so I know. I would like to see them come to Newark but the politcians in Essex County want to line their pockest more so it will never work. Keeping it up there is fine but they still need a new building, and take down those stupid banners of the clown and skate and guitar I dont get those at all. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
