The New Jersey Devils have a rich history and a dedicated fanbase, making them a prime candidate for unique "specialty games" that extend beyond the typical NHL experience. From outdoor clashes to themed celebrations, here are five cool locations that could host a future New Jersey Devils specialty game:

  1. Citi Field – Flushing, New York | Regular Season vs. New York Rangers: The home of the New York Mets has already proven itself as a viable venue for NHL games. The Stadium Series contests at MetLife Stadium were a success, and the intensity would only amplify when the Devils and Rangers rivalry takes center stage at Citi Field. With a seating capacity of 41,821 for hockey and boasting the largest jumbotron in North American professional baseball, the fan experience would undoubtedly be tremendous.

  2. SHI Stadium – New Brunswick, New Jersey | Regular Season vs. Philadelphia Flyers: As the home of Rutgers University's football team, SHI Stadium offers a fantastic in-state option. While it has never hosted an NHL game before, its size and location make it ideal. The stadium's capacity of over 52,000 would allow a large number of fans from across New Jersey to attend. A game against the Philadelphia Flyers would be a natural fit, given the existing rivalry between the two teams.

  3. American Dream Mall – East Rutherford, New Jersey: This would provide a completely unique and modern setting. The American Dream Mall offers a variety of entertainment options, and a hockey game would be a perfect addition. The game could be held outdoors in the parking lot, or even indoors with some creative arena setup. This would offer fans a chance to combine hockey with shopping, dining, and other attractions.

  4. Coors Field – Denver, Colorado | Regular Season vs. Colorado Avalanche: While not in New Jersey, this idea presents a special opportunity to connect with the Devils' history. Before becoming the New Jersey Devils, the franchise was known as the Colorado Rockies. Playing a game at Coors Field, the home of the Colorado Rockies MLB team, would be a nod to the team's past. A matchup against the Colorado Avalanche would add another layer of intrigue.

  5. Prudential Center - Newark, New Jersey: While it is their home arena, holding specialty games at the Prudential Center can create unique and memorable experiences for fans. Theme nights, such as "Made In Jersey Night," can celebrate the local community. Giveaways, in-game prizes, and post-game events can enhance the fan experience. Themed experiences can build community spirit and create lasting memories for fans of all ages.
