Some council members will boycott opening over lack of city luxury box
The thousands of invitations for the grand opening of the Devils arena in downtown Newark have yet to be addressed and mailed.
The final touches of a city celebration meant to toast the largest public-private arena partnership in Newark's history are still being perfected and finalized.
But with four weeks to go, some city council members are planning to boycott the opening festivities at Prudential Center arena. It has nothing to do with their aversion to Bon Jovi, the Jersey band that will be rocking "The Rock" on Oct. 25.
They are upset about their luxury suite: They don't have one.
Quote of the day: "They're dissing us at a level that's disrespectful."
