Initial Feelings About the Barclays Center
Broad And Pennsylvania
No one should take my opinions on the Barclays Center too serious- yet. None of us have been inside. With that said, on Saturday I decided to take a ride into Brooklyn to see the new home of the Nets. I have a few very quick, basic observations about the arena, from the outside.
1. The neighborhood is very nice, and not what a lot of outsiders will think they are going to. There's lots to do there. Atlantic Avenue will prosper from this.
2. It's really hard to get to the place. You can get off of 278 and go on Atlantic Avenue, but that will be a nightmare. That requires taking 278 far into Brooklyn, and it requires going down a normal street. The other option is to come in from Manhattan on Flatbush. Good luck with that.
Or leave the car at home? Fortunately, Rich is a quick learner.
3. I would suggest mass transit. The subway will literally stop there.
