Arena doesn't meet Newark's suite desire- NJ.com

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.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
