4. I am not NY literate so I dont know how to get to Brooklyn to see them play. If they stay here it would be easier for me to go to a game.

Travel from NJ to NYC is really easy, there are so many buses that go there and its even easier to travel within NYC with the subway system beacuse there will be at least 5 trains that go to the Brooklyn arena, it is in the busiest section of Brooklyn. It wouldn't take more than an hour (probably 45 min) to get to the game if you live in Northern NJ

its a guarantee that the team would draw more in brooklyn than in newark. Its not complicated for the Nets Franchinse to put 2 and 2 together.

1. The Newark project will be finished in time for the 07-08 season
when will the Brooklyn project be finished?

2. They are more people in the Newark/Irvington area alone that would be able to fill up the arena.

3. It would be accesiable to the people of Jersey since they are building a train that goes straight to the arena.

4. Since the arena is in Newark Nets games will be easier to go to for a lot of people that dont drive.

5. Its would be the same if they were in Brooklyn, there is a train going directly to the arena, plus there are buses, and you can walk. Just like if they move to Brooklyn, bus, train, walk.

6. The Nets arena in Newak can build up the economy in Newark/Irvington area and Jersey as a whole.

7. Is Brooklyn that much better if they move there?

8. people wouldn't be forced out of homes/businesses to build the arena, where they are planning to build it in Newark.

The number of people who are going to be "forced out" of their homes in Brooklyn is fewer than 50.

Most of the critics live in nearby neighbohrhoods who dont like the idea of construction going on for years outside their windows, ending with 15 high rises, one 70 stories high and a whole lot of traffic in an already overcrowded area.
