1st All Star Meeting

This morning the front office got together to discuss the upcoming 2009 All-Star game for the first time. Everyone chimed in with great ideas and suggestions and it seems that we definitely have our work cut out in order for us to put on a great event. So much goes into planning a large scale event such as this. Everything from hotels, give-aways, sponsors, logo design, and entertainment must be considered. It was really interesting to hear about other similar events (whether they be previous Atlantic League All-Star Games, the Belmont Stakes, or the MLS Cup) that members of the current front office have been involved in over the years. Discussing what made those events successful was certainly insightful into how we can make the '09 game one of the best ever. These are the type of events we live for!

While no major decisions needed to be made at this time, everyone was in agreement that the 2009 All-Star game must truly reflect the spirit of the city of Newark - and oh, it will.

Stay tuned for more updates on the All Star Game..

If anyone would like me to burn them a copy of the tv broadcast of the 2001 all-star game, let me know. I'll try to have copies for you during the next homestand. - Jane Jubilee
