The Prudential Center Tickets
Although it is officially known as the Prudential Center, this multi-purpose indoor arena has been known as a number of different names throughout the years.

It was also created to be the home court of the NCAA Seton Hall Pirates men’s basketball team as well. During the renovations of Madison Square Garden, the Prudential Center was also home to numerous other teams including the WNBA’s New York Liberty. During this time the New Jersey Nets also called the arena home and used it from 2010-2012. When it first opened the Prudential Center was the first major league sports arena or venue to be constructed in the greater New York metropolitan area since the Brendan Bryne Arena in 1981.
