Did you know that the New Jersey Devils shared the Prudential Center Arena with the Nets basketball team? But after years of sharing the arena, the Nets decided to move to New York, leaving the Devils as the only major league team to represent New Jersey. The Devils arena has 17,625 seats and 76 luxury suites. I was lucky to be in a suite this past April! We Devils fans like to call the arena The Rock because of the creators of it. In this arena, the Devils won three Stanley Cup Championships. Did you know that one Stanley Cup costs more than $23,000? This is because it is made entirely out of silver. The Devils have reached the playoffs five times: winning in 1994–1995, 1999–2000 and 2002–03 and losing in 2000–2001 and 2011–2012. The Devils are an awesome team, and we are lucky to have them represent New Jersey!
