Stern: No NBA Team in NJ's Future

[NJNetz]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">In an interview on YES Network's CenterStage, taped last week, NBA Commissioner David Stern says the league does not believe New Jersey can support an NBA franchise...whether the team's Brooklyn deal goes through or not. "I don't think that there's an NBA team in its future," Stern told YES in a segment that has yet to be broadcast. Stern cited the Nets low attendance. </div>

Isn't their low attendance mostly impart because of the location of the Arena? I heard and seen that it's in a random deserted type area that's hard to reach.

Is the arena on an island or something?

NJ hasn't been very good for the Devils either. I think its more the market than the area. The Giants and Jets play there, but they have the New York market behind them.

The Nets' crowd is always quiet. No wonder why the Nets are rarely ever pumped up. The crowd is queit even during the playoffs.

It's a bad place. It's easier for me to get to MSG than to the Meadowlands. Compound that it's worse than my university's arena, doesn't help.

The Nets' arena is in the middle of swamp. The arena is fairly old, and you either need a car to travel there, or pay for a bus to take you there.
