Even Terrorists Are Smarter than to Target Hockey Fans in Newark, NJ

Apparently, Newark, NJ's spanking new sports arena, the Prudential Center (or "The Rock" as it will be known in sports-talk parlance) was built too close to the street, which is a no-no in a post 9-11 world. Consider this another planning blunder right behind the strange idea of building an arena for a hockey team in Newark. For those of you not in the know, Newark, with its overwhelmingly black and portugese-speaking populations, is not a hotbed of hockey enthusiasts. Devils' fans are mostly white people from the suburbs. Question is, do they love their Devils and want their hockey bad enough to drive into Newark, the unofficial car theft capital of the world? Perhaps the Devils faithful will take public transport, and pack the 25 NJ Transit trains that would be required to haul enough folks to bring the rock to full capacity (fans would have to leave mighty early since only a handful trains run that could get you there on time). We'll see. If the Devil's only draw a handful of their faithful to beautiful downtown Newark, I think terrorists might leave the Pru Center off their target list for lack of infidels to slaughter.
