The Nets announced Wednesday that none of their three 2009 preseason home games will be played at the IZOD Center. They will play the Celtics (Oct. 13) and Knicks (Oct. 21) at the Prudential Center in Newark and the Sixers (Oct. 23) on the campus of St. Johns University in Queens. Nets season ticket holders will have the option (but not be required) to purchase tickets for any or all of the games in advance of the general public. Tickets will be made available to the public in the fall.
