Nets Add to Brooklyn “Founding Sponsors” as Case Moves Ahead
Nets Daily
Mobile phone provider MetroPCS has signed a “low seven figures” per year sponsor deal with the Nets, receiving the right to name the upper bowl at the new Barclays Center the “MetroPCS Pavillion”.

The case is seen as a long shot, but critics claim they’ll file even more appeals if they lose.
