Alumni Field is soooooo sweet!!! Alumni Field is a state-of-the-art gem that is tucked away in the…read moreheart of Newark/ the Rutgers-Newark campus. I used to pass Alumni Field on my way to and from the University and I had no clue how nice it was until I actually popped inside one day to watch my friend play soccer. Alumni Field is actually better than most city and college fields in and out of the greater NY/ NJ area. Alumni Field contains an all turf soccer and softball field. The new turf was added in 2009 and is kept in tip-top shape! New scoreboards were added few years back when the University renovated the field and a press box was recently added in Summer 2012. If you need the lights on for night games; all you have to do is make arrangements with Athletics Facilities and they will be more than happy to help you out! The field is mainly used by the Rutgers-Newark Athletics & Rec Dept., local k-12 teams, city leagues and intramurals within the community rent-out Alumni Field as well. I'm not sure what the rental price is, however based on what I hear; I don't think it's going to cost ya an arm and a leg!

Fun Fact: five of the past team captains for the US Men's soccer team have come from the West…read moreHudson region of NJ. (So it's only fitting - and long overdue! - that there was a proper soccer store reigning in West Hudson.) I was legit shocked just how much stuff they have here. I walked in assuming "small shop, small inventory" but I was completely wrong. From shorts to a slew of balls (of varying sizes and clubs/countries) to jerseys (representing every major league around the globe) to sneakers/cleats to jackets to an entire wall supporting local teams (Thistle, Kearny and Paisley Athletic) even a "Ref's Corner" where you can pick up the dreaded yellow/red card set. And a really interesting feature (I hadn't seen before) - there's an enclosed "mini-makeshift pitch" that looks like little kids could go and run around to play a bit of soccer and/or you can try your new sneakers to see how they'd actually feel on turf. (I also eyed up a pretty sweet foosball table but I'm not sure if that was for everyone or just the staff while on break.) The owner is a great guy and the staff were phenomenal... they offered help but weren't pushy. They were excitedly talking about soccer teams/matches amongst themselves and when we went to the counter they couldn't have been more energetic or welcoming. (They were even good sports when I ribbed them for not stocking any AS Roma merch... just yet.) Roughly two miles from the Red Bulls Arena. About a mile from 'The Courts' in Harrison. Half-mile from the Kearny Scots Club. Soccer Town, USA (one of Kearny's official nicknames) now has a FIFA-approved (okay, I just made that part up) outpost where you can pick up pretty much whatever you need to get out and about for some footie. Granted - parking can be a nightmare but that shouldn't deter you from swinging by to check out what's what. "Chips on!"

Called the store who checked their inventory for me for size 12 and 12.5 turf shoes & cleats.

I was pleased with every interaction with the store and recommend it to all.

GRADUATION CEREMONY VENUE REVIEW:…read more With it being graduation season, this is a review of Prudential Center as a commencement ceremony venue. Because of preparations for FIFA World Cup 2026, many schools that would have held their graduation ceremonies at MetLife Stadium have changed locations this year. I attended a commencement at Prudential Center last week. Here are my pros, cons, and heads-ups for anyone going to 'The Rock' for a graduation ceremony for the first time. Pros: - it's an indoor arena, so inclement weather be damned - it's climate controlled, so take that summer heat and humidity! - high resolution projection screens; real-time video projection images are so sharp and clear - audio is great inside Prudential Center, so you can actually hear speakers clearly and graduates' name - comfortable seats imo - good concession stands - cute photo ops inside the arena Cons: - traffic getting into downtown Newark can be horrendous; that's just how it is so allot extra time for travel Heads-up: - If you are driving to Prudential Center, know you will be spending money to park if you want to be close to the venue. - Make sure to read Prudential Center's bag policy so you won't be stopped at security and told to use a locker if your bag is too big.

Of course food and drinks were very expensive. Going through security was a little bit hectic, but once we walked pass the area things were much calmer. The staff was nice. I found parking within a 4 minute walk from the arena. Will definitely come back again if there is something of interest to me.
