Devils got here 25 years ago and compete with the following teams:

Giants
Yankees
Jets
Mets
Rangers
Islanders
Nets
Knicks

that's right...including the Devils there are NINE PRO Franchises within a 1 hour drive, 8 of them are within 30 MINUTES of each other....not to mention at the bottom end of Jersey, the Flyers are just across the river...so you could argue 10 PRO TEAMS....can you say oversaturation of a market?
