Barclays Center listed in NRDC report as among the "latest green building leaders in professional sports"; does it have "best connection to public transit"?
Atlantic Yards Report
The Barclays Center is listed as among the "latest green building leaders in professional sports," according to a new report from the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Game Changer: How the Sports Industry is Saving the Environment
The text, based on press releases, notes that the arena is pursuing LEED Silver certification and is the "arena with the best connection to public transit."
Maybe that's compared to the "latest" buildings, but I don't think the Barclays Center tops Madison Square Garden.
Note that while the Brooklyn arena offers a convoluted direct connection to the Long Island Railroad, those without unlimited ride MetroCards would have to pay a fare to enter the subway system, go downstairs, and then go upstairs to the LIRR.
