The Prudential Center, where the New Jersey Devils have played since 2007, is beginning to pay dividends to the City of Newark. According to the New York Times, despite the hockey team being ousted in the first round of the NHL playoffs, ticket sales have been solid, and the Devils nearly doubled the number of regular season sellouts compared to the previous year. In addition, the arena has spurred $15 million in economic activity at area restaurants, bars and shops.
