Nickname for Barclays Center

[SpeedyG]

Fine, I'll throw in my two cents...

Basketball Kingdom at the Barclays Center (kinda like the whole Palace at Auburn Hills)

But obvious, with Billy King (dom), the shield and King's twitter (bkDEFEND). And then you got this

I like The Yard as was suggested earlier.

The Yard actually does sound good.....can be used in many ways as well

"The Yard" makes a ton of sense because it is built in the Atlantic Yards project.

Another possibility is taking the approach from the Prudential Center, which is called "The Rock" because of the Prudential logo. This is the Barclays logo:



The Bird? The Wing? Probably not.... The Yard sounds better IMO.

You must've had this bookmarked lol.

The last post in this thread (before your comment) was from almost 15 months ago.

Gotta love the random bumped threads lol

I still think it should be called "The Roc" still.

I've been thinking about this for a while...

CAA/Izod & East Rutherford = The Swamp

Pru Center & Newark = The Rock

Barclays Center & Brooklyn = ?

What do you guys think the nickname should be?

It could be 'The Cage' because of it's steel facade but that makes it sound to rugged.
It also looks like a nest/bill of duck-billed platypus but those sound weak. Maybe we could call it 'The Platy' for short lol.

The Bowling Alley, because of the court?



Seriously though, the Brook, Clay Town, The 'Clay Center. I have a feeling Garnett is going to come up with something.

Or the Strip, since it honestly looks like a Mobius Strip.

[NyCeEvO]

Still reminds me of a duck-billed platypus lol.

[DrazenForThree]

how about "home of the 2013-2014 NBA Champion Brooklyn Nets"?

I ain't even a Brooklyn fan but c'mon..

The Bank.

Case closed.
