Barclays Center – and down the stretch we come
Meadowlands Matters [NorthJersey.com]
by John Brennan
There are fewer than 100 days remaining before the scheduled opening of the $1 billion Barclays Center, the Nets’ new home near downtown Brooklyn.
Construction is said to be on schedule, but beginning tomorrow some work – including elevator installation and roof finishings – will be going 24/7.
Will the Nets avoid some of the headaches that plagued the Devils when the Prudential Center opened in Newark in 2007?
...If the arena really is done in three months, the buzz about the series of concerts before the Nets’ first game will mean the plan was masterful.
But if any shows have to be postponed, some Nets executives will wind up kicking themselves.
NoLandGrab: Rest assured that Bruce Ratner will leave no Prospect Heights resident well rested in the push to finish construction by September 28th.
