Training Facility Search Broadens
NetsDaily
The Nets are looking at a number of sites for their new training facility. According to a Brooklyn website, in addition to visiting site near Brooklyn Ikea in Red Hook, team representatives visited a school bus depot, also in Red Hook, recently. The site, at 62-64 Ferris Street, is next door to the Brooklyn Cruise Ship Terminal in a former industrial area.
The Nets are looking primarily in Brooklyn, but are not close to making a decision, which will be based on cost, access to Barclays Center, team offices and area airports.
NoLandGrab: Why is Bruce wasting his time? He should just pick the location he wants, have the ESDC condemn the property, and toss in a generous subsidy package to sweeten the deal.
