The train ride from NB is like 30 min. It might even be easier to get to NJCure arena from NB then to the RAC by car with all the crazy traffic getting into Livingston during bball games.
In no way is it or will it be easier to get from NB to Trenton than from NB to Livi
The train is literally 30 minutes from downtown NB to Trenton train station. It took me 30 min from the traffic alone to get from route 18 to a parking spot at the RU/SHU game.
I don't think its a they aren't in the tournament kind of thing, if you are scheduling mid majors or Low majors make sure they are at the top of their respective conferences and not at the bottom.Y
Monday night. Trenton. Let’s go for the hat trick and make it a 9:30 start for TV.
Ah..Leaving the arena in Trenton at around 11:30 on a Monday night. What’s not to like?, unless we can move it to Camden.
Can you talk about what changed? It was made very clear up until now Pike wanted nothing to do with that program. Can you talk about why he wanted a neutral site game in Trenton? These dynamics make any agreement not straight forward by nature. What’s the agreement details on tickets/gate?
sounds like it might be the start of trying to set up a yearly game and neither side wanted to start it off playing at the other's house.
It’s not literally 30 minutes, it’s generally 35-40 other than 1-2 trains, after having to get to New Brunswick station a few minutes early to make sure you don’t miss the train, and followed by a 10 minute walk to the arena. You’re looking at close to an hour all in, and that’s with the assumption that a) the kids care about driving to Livi when they can just take a bus, or b) most of our adult fans live in New Brunswick.
Those who were repeatedly saying that Pike wouldn’t play PU were plain wrong.
Princeton, I 100% agree with. Monmouth is equivalent to Rider, St. Peters, FDU to me, but I'd always rather play NJ crap than Ark Pine Bluff.
Princeton is not Central Connecticut State, they are going to demand a home and home.
I ll be at the game. I just don’t understand the venue location. I guess it’s a 1 year deal. Would have preferred a 1:1 or 2:1 type of deal with these type of the games at the RAC and / or Jadwin.
Trenton has given the bball progeam and AD a lot of breaks, think it’s a little favor in return.
or could be just a site both programs agreed on for one game because they didn't want to play at the other's house.
This is the absolute gin scenario. Would be a massive hit
The River Line (light rail) station is across the street from the arena but only runs from the south (starts in Camden) along the Delaware. The “main” train station is at least a 15 minute walk away.
I don’t want to lose this game but a close loss to them on a neutral floor wouldn’t be that big of a deal. If your on the bubble, having a loss to a bad ACC team is probably worse if your competing for spots with other ACC teams.
How often are the two teams in question one of the oldest and most historic rivalries in the county?
