Even when they do move to brookyln. I want them to be from my state. I wish the nets could at least keep NJ in their name. Even when they do move to brookyln. I want them to be from my state.

The Nets, which have roots in Long Island and New York, have continually closed themselves off to bringing in fans from those areas because the Izod Center is inaccessible. The Rock would be better, but a move to Brooklyn would be the best of all worlds. You can bring in people from NYC, the boroughs, Long Island very directly, while people from NJ can take either the PATH or NJ Transit and then another transfer on top of that. It's not like there aren't a ton of NJ residents who don't commute to Lower Manhattan every day and this is another 10 minutes on top of that. It also opens the team up to markets in Westchester and Fairfield County, CT where Metro-North and a subway ride will get you to Brooklyn in about an hour and a half - the same amount of time it takes those people to get to the Bronx and Queens respectively for Yankees and Mets games.

It's not because Newark is a poor basketball location, but there is no way David Stern is going to allow one of his franchises to play in a stadium that was designed for hockey first, plus the capacity is only 18,000. Also the Devils own the place, and with the barbs going back and forth between them and the Nets, Neward is all but dead. On paper the move looks smart, but when you start looking at it in depth, it just can't happen.

They have come up new designs at least three times, and there is a perfectly good arena in Newark that would love to have NBA bball.

Brooklyn isn't too bad from Central jERSEY if you just take 78, and the people there are welcoming and prideful, so it wo't be so bad.
