The Barclays Center continues to fly up – now each week progress is obvious, the shape of the basketball arena that the Brooklyn-bound New Jersey Nets plan to call home in the 2012-2013 season more visible.
The majority of the arena’s foundation has been laid, with efforts now focused on erecting the steel frame of the arena itself. Atlantic Yards developer Forest City Ratner expects to begin work on the façade as early as June. Demolition and excavation still continues on the Long Island Railroad/Vanderbilt Yard side of the site.
