With a 15th anniversary season at hand, Prudential Center upgrades are on tap for the home of the New Jersey Devils in the 2022-2023 NHL season.
It was 15 years ago today that New Jersey legends Bon Jovi and My Chemical Romance opened the doors to Newark’s entertainment facility. Since then, Prudential Center has hosted over 2,500 events and more than 20 million guests. A packed lineup is on tap, with several venue upgrades announced.
“We are grateful for the entire state’s support over the past 15 years, as we continually strive to deliver marquee content to New Jersey’s ‘Town Hall’ right here in Newark,” said Jake Reynolds, President, New Jersey Devils & Prudential Center, via press release. “As we come off a record-high year, we are incredibly proud of the reputation we have forged in successfully entertaining spectators, hosting artists, promoting sponsors, and serving as a steward for our community. This will be a very special year at Prudential Center, and we look forward to celebrating a historic anniversary with our passionate fans, alongside some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment.”
In addition to being the home of the Devils, who celebrate their 40th anniversary this season, and Seton Hall University’s NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball program, Prudential Center also hosts the Devils’ practice facility (RWJBarnabas Health Hockey House) and the GRAMMY Museum Experience at Prudential Center, which also celebrates its fifth anniversary this week.
