Visiting Prudential Center as an Away Fan: The Complete Guide

Q: How do I get to Prudential Center as an away fan?

Fly into Newark (EWR), closest to the arena, or any NYC-area airport. The arena is a short walk from Newark Penn Station, served by NJ Transit and PATH — so you can train in easily from Manhattan or the airport and skip a car.

Q: Where should visiting fans stay for a Devils game at Prudential Center?

Stay in Manhattan and train out to Newark for the game — an easy ride — for the full New York trip. Or base in downtown/Newark or Jersey City to be closer to the arena and the PATH.

Q: What is parking like at Prudential Center and when should away fans arrive?

There are garages and lots downtown, and prepaid is smart if you drive, but the train to Newark Penn Station plus a short walk is the easy option. Arrive early and take the train — Newark Penn Station is a short walk away, and downtown has spots for a quick pregame.

Q: Where do visiting fans sit at Prudential Center?

It's a modern arena with excellent sightlines and no obstructed views. Lower-bowl seats are pricier while the upper deck is good value. Devils crowds are into it but fine for visiting fans.

Q: What food should you get at Prudential Center, and what should you bring?

Expect a strong New York-area food lineup, plus Newark's own Portuguese/Ironbound flavors nearby. Check the bag policy, as arena clear-bag or small-bag rules usually apply. It's indoors, so weather isn't a factor inside.

Newark's Ironbound district nearby is known for great Portuguese and Spanish restaurants — a solid pregame. If you're staying in the city, Manhattan is the pregame before you train out.
