Barclays Center/Fear Prokhorov Thread

[SpeedyG]

I'm mad that the nets are leaving New Jersey, it pisses me off because i go out to games now when they are bad. Once they leave they are gonna be on the up and up and i wont be able to see them in the playoffs or anything. But then again i did go to the Nets vs. Bulls game and Brooke Lopez was Boo'd at the foul line, so the player are probably happy to get out.

Didn't they say that the transit thing they are setting up will make it easier to get to the games (even from NJ) compared to when it was at CAA?

Really? I didn't even hear about that. If that's true then it's an even better deal for the state than I thought.

Getting to CAA was a pain. I loved the fact that I could take the train when I went to the Nets game at the Prudential Center.

Jay-Z Making "Major Announcement" On Barclays Center, Nets Monday
by Net Income

The Nets have just announced that Jay-Z --who they describe as a "cultural icon"-- will make "significant announcements regarding The Barclays Center of Brooklyn and the borough's future NBA team" Monday morning at a special press conference opposite the arena.

The announcement will be attended by Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz, Bruce Ratner and Brett Yormark, among others.

Jay-Z, aka Shawn Carter, has long been expected to open Barclays Center September 28 of next year. The event on the Atlantic Terminal plaza is also likely timed to start an Opening Night Countdown now that the arena is a year away.

Although the rapper turned entrepreneur is a very small stockholder in the Nets and Barclays, he has become a creative consultant for the team, involved in the design of lounge spaces at the arena as well as the team's uniform design and colors. His ad agency, Translation, has the contract for the Nets' transition from New Jersey to Brooklyn.

He's going to announce Travis Outlaw has gone missing and he knows nothing about it?

That would be major news and should be a part of press conference.

Jay-Z: "Last but not least, whenever the CBA is agreed upon Travis Outlaw will be gone from the team whether or not there is an amnesty rule."

"Manufactured nostalgia"... I love the pairing of those words, it succinctly sums up exactly how I feel about the Knicks.

The Knicks really aren't that great of a franchise, it's just for the longest time they fooled people into believing that they were...

lmao at that name

[Action Bronson]

Whatever the name is the logo should include a hammer and sickle.

There are a lot of cool nicknames and logos for Brooklyn's new team, that may not make the official cut, but will keep local t-shirt and hat designers profitably busy.
