According to google maps it looks like its a 12-15 minute walk. Has anyone ever done it before? Safe walk?
Walk from Trenton Train Station to CURE Arena?
- Thread starter jeRseyguy1010
- Start date
It depends - Do you have a carry permit?
Yes it's safe. I was the first to mention Cure as a good destination if we left the Rac. Cure is in a safe location, and a easy walk from the train. Stop being scary. Even religious groups who have many senior citizens and small children have chosen Cure to hold events.
Just look at street view on the route
Should be fine. Just wear sneakers, bring a knife, walk quickly.
They should burn that whole area down

As you walk the boarded-up buildings make a nice touch. Makes you feel all safe and like nothing could possibly go wrong.

CURE Insurance Arena, formerly known as the Sun National Bank Center & Sovereign Bank Arena, opened on October 6, 1999. Over the past decade, the Arena has hosted international music sensations like Carrie Underwood, Justin Bieber, Cher, Bruce Springsteen, and Shania Twain; top sports events such as the 2006 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball First and Second Rounds and 2009 NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Trenton Regional; and family-friendly entertainment like the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, The Harlem Globetrotters, and Disney On Ice.

Probably makes for a good investment . Maybe @kyk1827 will lead a real estate walking tour en route to game
The area is flooded with police when there is an event there.
Id urge you to take a cab. They’re available when you get off the train.
We should conduct a group march from the train station to the arena like the Red Bull fans do from the Ironbound to Harrison. @toby83 can lead it.
Maybe we can schedule future OOC games at Rumson - Fair Haven or the Far Hills Country Day School
From his classes, Commercial is dead, but studio apartments, now we're talking. Could be getting in on the ground floor of a Jersey City like gentrification.
Carrie Underwood fans have more balls than some of the posters here
Brothers and I bought a couple houses early 2000’s. Near the train station on state st. Rented out the garage to commuters for $200/mo (4 total spots). Rented the houses for $750 to start -1000/mo. Bought the 2 house $15k cash each.
Sold them 2010ish for $100k each. To developer knocked them down and did nothing with property.
I do think the are is ripe for investment but don’t know if I want to dip my toe just yet.

Is it better inside or outside the arena?
just stay home if you have woman problems.
Especially if you and another are seeing the same woman , that's a problem
If you're playing a game, keep it strictly basketball,because sometimes courting can make the game of love a killer
Not everybody can afford masonry homes built by overpaid masons.
This thread reminds me of the time when I was working at the Newark campus in the old Law School building by Washington Park. One morning walking to to there from Penn Station some guy is getting off a bus at the park and with a deer in the headlights look asks me if it safe walking there.
I suspect most of the posters on this thread saying how unsafe it is have never been to the CURR Arena or have any knowledge of the area.

Guys
I’m very familiar with the area. I work not far from there
You are NOT walking from the Trenton train station to CURE.
Period

I’ve been there a lot. I live in Hamilton. Cure arena area is ok due to the event staff and Sheriff’s office in the area during events. As far as walking from the train station? Absolutely not.
I am going to walk the route this weekend and record my experience for everyone.
I am going to drive there the night of the game and park in an arena lot.
I'm sure someone will tell you you car won't be safe there, it would be better for you to take the train and walk to the game.
You guys worry too much. Gonna try and get the locals going with an R-U chant
They host the central Jersey pop Warner cheer competition at Cure every October. If thousands of little girls can perform at this arena, you tough guys can attend a college basketball game.
We’re not talking about the Arena lol, it’s the walk from the Trenton transit center to the arena that is not fun.
This is turning into a legendary thread, guys. Keep up the good work.
I was planning to walk from the train. Don't think it will be bad at all considering there should be plenty of people walking. The toughest part of that journey seems to be crossing 129.
Living in fear is not the answer.

Neither is being stupid.
Yep. The toughest part of that journey are the low-life criminals that are up to no good
Appears to be a traffic light there. Perhaps they also have a traffic cop there during events?
