Barclays Tours Intended to Amaze
NetsDaily
The Nets fan site wallows in its warped triumphalism.
In the latest tour of Barclays Center, Bruce Ratner tells the Times, "Sometimes I look at it and I am amazed we all got there." That is of course the point of the tours that are now weekly or even more frequent. Despite impediments, and the Times lists them all, there is now evidence, in bright orange hues, that it's all very real, amazing actually.
The arena' critics can complain about the dust or the "rat tsunami" or the illegal parking or revel in their (limited) court victory last week, of which the Times takes its first notice. Doesn't matter much.
NoLandGrab: "Amazing?" It's a basketball arena. That's turning your neighborhood upside down. But at least fan-bloggers are happy.
