Is Barclays Center Ugly?: [POLL]
Judging the aesthetic merits of the city's newest sports arena.
Park Slope Patch

Does a bear s**t in the woods? More like a giant bear from outer space s**t in Prospect Heights.
Designed by Ellerbe Beckett and SHoP Architects, Barclays Center's mirrored glass and aged steel exterior continues to rise just a stone's throw away from some of the oldest and most historically significant housing stock the city has to offer.
So as Barclays begins to take its final shape in the middle of Brownstone Brooklyn, a question:
Is the Barclays Center ugly?
Or is it a welcome, intrinsically modern, addition to the landscape of the borough?
Take the poll.
