Prudential Center (25 Lafayette St, Newark, NJ 07102) is the home of the New Jersey Devils and one of the busiest entertainment arenas in the country, hosting 175+ events per year including NHL hockey, boxing, college basketball, and a year-round concert calendar that brings acts from Taylor Swift to Metallica. Capacity runs to 19,500 for hockey and up to 16,500 for concerts depending on stage configuration. From Union Township, it's roughly 8 miles east via I-78 — fast in off-hours, congested during any event.
Commercial bus and taxi drop-off is on William Street on the arena's west side, directly adjacent to Gate 4, making it one of the cleaner bus-drop venues in the New Jersey market. Post-event rideshare pickup is on Edison Place to the north — a genuine walk after a late Devils game in January. Call 862-367-0180 to book your Prudential Center bus.
