metaldad Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 QUOTE (rushfan4life @ Nov 6 2007, 05:46 PM) ewwww not the purdential center, i was just there for one of the bon jovi concerts and the place sounds like butt. the sound wasnt good and i would never go to another concert there again UNLESS it was Rush and they are not playing another show in NYC. But is anyone doubting them doing a show in Radio City? I mean they hit all the big spots in NYC but Radio City. I think it will happen so im not too upset about the show being at the Prud Center thank you.thank you. this is what i was saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One option (if you're not against trains) would be to go down to the shore - probably in CT. I hear - although I don't know - that there's a train line that runs along the southern shore from New Haven into NYC. I'm not the expert, but I believe Lakeside Maiden, Der Trommler, and Tortoise and Hare took it for the MSG show. They'd be better with line info and stop details. That said, I pass by your area all the time to get to NJ. I go out 84 to 684 and go down to the Tappan Zee. If I were going from your location, I'd do just that. 684 takes you down to 287, which puts you on the Thruway. Then hop on the Garden State Parkway south and you're in Joisey. You could take the Parkway to any number of places to catch the train - again, assuming that it wouldn't be an issue with a wife who's preggers. Exit...crap. I forget which exit is Metro Park - 142ish, perhaps? The train station is right off the exit, and that line would take you right up to Newark. Not the most direct route, but I'd rather take the train; that's completely personal preference, of course. If you would consider staying in NJ and not driving back, there's always the Hilton in Gateway Center (right across the street from Penn Station). I also stayed recently at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, which is right across the street from NJPAC and right around the corner from the Pru Ctr. They have free parking for customers, and the walk would be just a few blocks. They were $100/night. Personally, I wouldn't get a hotel for a concert, but if that works out better for you, get there much earlier in the day when traffic isn't bad (assuming it's not a weekday) and then leave the next day. Just a couple of possibilities. Hopefully at least 1 will help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've crushed my hopes and dreams i hear ya, that place in n.j. suck's .they have moron's working at that joint. the parking suck's and the area around it is just as bad. PLEASE , PLAY ATLANTIC CITY It's only been open for about a week... i went with my wife to bon jovi. the place blow's . i dont care how long it's been open. they are not going to move it from that spot,and all the parking lot's are not going to move. they block street's off so you have to go out of your way to get to your pre-paid parking[which is a nightmare in itself] just letting you guy's know what's in store. that's all. So the only thing your complaining about is parking and not the arena itself? the sound is not good . the people that work there are as dumb as rock's [it took 3, yep 3 people to run my c.c. ] i have never seen anything like it. i have been going to show's in a lot of place's over my year's and this is the worst area i have ever been in for a concert. the inside is really nice. they spent a ton of $$$ . traveling, yep the train is the way to go but i would have to drive an hour[with no traffic] to get to the city to then take a train to n.j. Sure looks good for a Devils game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
different strings Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Well thats great news , especially in regards to the 2 weeks the boys appear to be spending in South America. I am really hoping that they just might still consider a quick visit to Australia. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. I really am trying like mad to pull out all stops to see them this time and probably will consider the US West coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be trying for South, having never been to that part of the world. The atmosphere at those gigs will be amazing. Especially in Argentina. Big football rivalry with Brazil so they will want to outdo the RIR crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickedgail Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Hello All! First post on the board been registered for awhile and lurking decided to dive in today! I too wish they would have stuck to Atlantic City. I don't like the idea of them hitting the Prudential Center at the time they will get there. You see if they are starting in April in Canada and working there way down the East Coast they will arrive in NJ in the middle of HOCKEY PLAYOFF SEASON! I've had tickets to events that have been canceled because of this. New Jersey has a track record of this with Rush. in the 80's they postponed a RUSH show because Frank Sinatra had to reschedule and I knew ALLOT of people who couldn't attend the makeup date. So if they want Northern NJ I'd much prefer they would do Izod(Contential Airlines) Arena this time so we don't encounter this problem!
