DICK'S Sporting Goods opens first House of Sport in New York area

DICK'S Sporting Goods has opened the first House of Sport in the New York area at Simon Property Group's Newport Centre in Jersey City, N.J. At 85,000 square feet, the Jersey City location is the smallest House of Sport store, given that most are larger than 100,000 square feet.

Like other House of Sport stores, the Jersey City location offers a climbing wall, multiple golf bays with TrackMan simulators, and a multi-sport cage that can be used for baseball, softball, lacrosse, soccer and field hockey. Customers can easily get to Jersey City from NYC via the PATH train or NY Waterway ferry.

According to DICK'S EVP Toni Roeller, the Jersey City location is the second urban location for House of Sport after the first one opened in the Pru Center in Boston. It is very difficult to find large available locations in urban areas.

There are 26 House of Sport locations in the U.S. The Jersey City location is one of about 16 House of Sport locations opening in 2025. The other new House of Sport locations that opened so far this year are in Dadeland Mall near Miami, Fla.; Mall at Fairfield Commons in Beavercreek, Ohio (a suburb of Dayton); Polaris Fashion Place near Columbus, Ohio; the Mall of Louisiana in Baton Rouge, La.; Town Center Plaza in Leawood, Kan.; and at a strip center just off the Galleria Dallas mixed-use complex.

Upcoming locations for House of Sport include Frisco, Texas (north of Dallas at Stonebriar Centre’s former Sears site), the Westgate Entertainment District in the Glendale, Arizona (Phoenix area), Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, New Jersey near Philadelphia, and The Parks Mall at Arlington (south of Dallas) replacing a former Sears store.
