Maspeth, NY 718-416-1656
Barclays Center – the Brooklyn sports/entertainment
complex, opened with an impressive pomp and show to celebrate the occasion.
Bruce Ratner along with Mayor Bloomberg, Brooklyn Nets owner – Mikhail
Prokhorov among others joined in for the fun and festivities.
Described by some locals as something monstrous out of a
“Transformer” movie, the Barclay’s Center is an impressive steel structure with
a 360 degree LED marquee screen. It has
an 18 K capacity and is touted as a mecca of culture where “troubles can be
left behind” for a few hours of the day. The Barclays Center and the
entertainment that it will offer will be readily accessible by the subway
system.
Despite some concerns, Brooklyn residents are warming up to
the idea of having Barclays Center in their midst. They are already seeing some
positive changes with about 1500 jobs being created. Mayor Bloomberg and
Brooklyn Borough President also presented the Barclays Center as a matter of
pride that will bring boom time back to Brooklyn!
