The IZOD Center in East Rutherford has remained merely as a relic of the past. It's been utilized by studios for workspace and the filming sets to the highest bidder including the zombie classic series, The Walking Dead, among others.
Now, an existing NBA franchise may look to relocate across state lines and into the Garden State.
That team, the Philadelphia 76ers, already has its training facility located in Camden, New Jersey.
With strong opposition to build a arena in Center City Philadelphia, the state of New Jersey is making a major push for a proposed 1.3 billion arena project to call New Jersey home.
There's no clear indication that a move is imminent, but New Jersey becoming an NBA city again would be a major development.

This is certainly a story for many in the tristate to keep a close eye on.
