The Barclays Center is a sports arena currently under construction in Brooklyn, New York City. The arena is being built partly on a platform over the Metropolitan Transportation Authority-owned Vanderbilt Yards at Atlantic Avenue. It is part of a proposed $4.9 billion sports arena, business and residential complex. The arena is intended to serve as a new home for the National Basketball Association's New Jersey Nets, currently based at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The team will be renamed the Brooklyn Nets starting with the arena's expected opening season of 2012–13.

Jay-z also co-owns the arena, and signed on to do 8 concert series opening for the arena on September 28th 2012. There will be special appearences, with rumors of Beyonce joining for one of the shows, who knows, maybe even Rihanna.

With this brand new arena being opened in the largest populated borough of NYC, will it destroy Madison Square Garden's legendary status? Where will the superstars decide to play? Only time will tell!

Cant wait!

Flop name, ugly building, flop area.

It looks so small

I hate it when they name things after banks.

Madison Square Garden is legendary, not Barclays arena

It will take up two full blocks.

Brooklyn ***** and you will stay mad.

Flop everything.

Madison Square Garden is legendary and iconic. This sounds lame and cheap.

I'll be excited if it hold more people than the Garden. If not....

Hot ****. This is gonna bring a ton of tax money into Brooklyn.

Madison Square Garden sounds way better than Barclays Center.

Barclays Center sounds like Drug Rehabilitation Center

Thiiiis

This will be awesome

A forbes without them feels empty

The title made it sound like MSG was getting renamed.

Depends. If it holds more more ppl then MAYBE but if not...

Plus MSG is in Manhattan so >>>>>>>>>>

I dont mind the name but the brown is so fugly....
Only time will tell

Flop Arena for that flop ass team that plays there.


Sounds exciting.
