The RAC is going away...Now Jersey Mike's Arena AKA "The Grill"They missed an opportunity to sell more concessions by using JM Arena instead of JM RAC. They could hire RAC (Rack) Girls (like hOOters girls) to sell concessions.
New Signage...
- Thread starter RU848789
- Start date
Agree 100%Obviously not that one, but the R in arena could be the Block R.
good eye.. workers up top putting up rails on the outside.. probably OSHA stuff while they work up there on other things like signage on the sides.
As for teh look.. not ideal.. but most games will be at night and there are likely a lot of lighting elements to it. Probably fine...

Drove past today ā¦ there are Jersey Mikeās signs on all 4 sides (they were starting the installation of the sign on the Hospital Road side). The side facing the APC deck is already in place and mirrors the sign facing the green lot. All 4 sides covered.
Stay tuned for Jersey Mike's new sub on trapezoidally shaped rolls.

Interesting indeed. Trapezoidal rolls may be a solution for the monsters who remove the fluffy middle of the roll in order to more easily fit inside more salted meats thereby throwing off the delicate optimized balance of the SMRR (salted meat to roll ratio).
That looks 10x better than the roof
I never understood people who scooped out the bread and am not a fan of subs/hoagies with a very high meat to bread ratio - I like my subs "balanced" (which is why I like Tastee Subs so much).
Tastee is the best and Jersey Mike's is the worst. Don't get how Jersey Mike's became so popular - especially in NJ! They are way overpriced and their bread is generic - you can close your eyes, go to any deli in NJ (at least central or north Jersey) and can easily get a better sub then JM's!

Under the JM logo should read: āWhere Rutgers Eats Your LunchāSIAP, but I still wish it were called Jersey Mike's RAC, but it's at least nice to see a new sign up...

Have suggested before need basketball t shirts " Pikes Way". In the RAC at least we should use this phrase when ordering a sub.
I just think that is laughably not creative.SIAP, but I still wish it were called Jersey Mike's RAC, but it's at least nice to see a new sign up...
āHow aboutā¦just spitballing hereā¦how about the Jersey Mikeās logo with the word āARENAā after it in a plain font?ā
āWhat if ARENA was in all caps?ā
āAnd white!ā
āBRILLIANT!ā
I drove by yesterday, it actually looked much better in person. Wish they could re-paint the exterior.
I actually hit JM the other day. I liked the roast beef Mikes way but it was $11.68 for regular sub only. Not a value was it
28 million over 20 years, so a bit over 1 million a year.
When it was sold at the mobile kiosk stand by a local franchisee (found out he lived in my neighborhood) it was the best deal at the Stadium: 1/2 sub, drink, bag of chips for $9.
Once they moved it inside as a regular concession...
Little Teddy's in New Brunswick always had the best subs. Bummer with being forced to move and the fire. Just being Nostalgic.
BTW: A whole sub from Tastee and a Giant from JM are same cost about $16.00. I prefer the larger roll and the JM's Way better. I used to go to the original one in Pt. Pleasant on my way to IBSP and Ocean Beach.
Subway subs are now $12.00 for footlong which used to $5.00. Yikes...
Believe it or not when I travel for business. A lot of businesses I visit say they wish they had a Jersey Mike's near them when wr are looking to cater sandwiches for a lunch meeting.
Back to the JM signs. I think they look fine as long as the checks clear. After all they purchased the naming rights...
You've never been to a Subway, have you?
Subway is at least cheaper....JM's charges like they are the Prada of subs....I can stand Subway, can't stand JM's
Still cringe at any change to the RAC to make it nice. Itās perfect for basketball with great sounds and sight lines. More bathrooms would be a plus. Iām also firmly in the so ugly itās beautiful school.
Jersey Mikes subs are fine. Cheesesteak is quite good.
Soft spot for Subway as Springbreak in 82, 83, and 84 it was my meal for the day in Fort Lauderdale and the first time I tried it

Itāll ALWAYS be āTHE RAC.ā Period. Even B1G announcers still call it that and have joked about not being able to say otherwise.
Yup. Only Corso, Steven and Patrick have to call in Jersey Mike's. To the rest of the free world, it's the RAC.
