If you want to take the train, take the North Jersey Coast Line to Newark Penn Station, or drive to MetroPark and take the train from there.

By all means, take the train. I'll never understand why people drive to this arena. NJTransit isn't cheap, but it's cheaper (and 100 times easier) than driving in and parking. Plus you can have a couple pops at the game and not worry.

Certainly not more convenient for me (coming from Bergen County). Not cheaper either when it's more than one person. Agree with last point though ha.

I'll admit, Bergen County is oddly tough to get to The Rock - it's like they penalized everyone for being so close to the Meadowlands all those years - but it's not too bad. I'm not sure what line you'd take, but can't you just train down from either line to Secaucus Junction and then over to Newark Penn? Probably 40 minutes from Ridgewood, depending on schedules.

I am a Devils STH and I always drive to the Pru Ctr. I park on Orchard in a $15.00 lot. It is a 5 min walk to the Lafayette St Entrance. The lot is also South of the Arena so I am usually walking through the Gridlock that is the VIP Lot.

I live in South Brunswick and I am able to make it home in 40 mins or less from the time I leave the Lot. There are more people @ the Devils Games then will be at the BB Game Friday.

I'd drive unless you're planning to get bombed. You could be stuck for up to an hour after the game waiting for a train.

I park in the same lot. Go in off Broad Street turn right on East Kinney and left on Orchard. Go out the same way and you will never hit traffic. The best driving option for sure.$$$$

Really ??? The ROC is sold out for this game. The Devils are drawing 12k per game if they are lucky.

The Devils are averaging 14,670 this season (capacity 16,500).

SHU's capacity is around 10,500, yes, last night's game was sold out (due to a few thousand RU fans).
