    After leaving the IZOD center, the Nets shared the Prudential Center with the New Jersey Devils for a short time before moving to the Barclays Center.

    Great job with the videos. I believe also that Barclay Center’s site was also where the ole Brooklyn Dodgers Domed stadium was supposed to be prior to moving to Los Angeles. The late owner Walter o’Malley was pushing this proposal which would have been at least a good 10 years before the Houston Astrodome.

    It wasn't enough to have one billion-dollar, one-sport-only arena in New York; they decided it was necessary to build a second billion-dollar arena (UBS Arena) just for the Islanders. Meanwhile, the Knicks and Rangers (and their fans) are perfectly happy with the 55 year old Madison Square Garden.

      @nothanksguy ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Madison square garden has also been heavily renovated, but your point is correct. Madison square garden is perfectly located because it is built on top of the old Penn station.
      A great arena with a great location should last a city at least four decades

      UBS Arena is in Nassau County, not NYC proper. That location is much better for the Islanders than Brooklyn.

    It put the original developer who purchased the team in receivership.
    They ended up selling other real estate assets to keep the project afloat until they could sell majority stakes in both arena and team to outside parties. 🤠

    I’ve been their for concerts, hockey and wrestling and the event day experience is highly under whelming. The concourse so dark (painting everything black might not have been the way to go). After you enter the building it’s like walking into a cave. The place has no charm or personality. It will never be like MSG. Also the new UBS Arena is so much nicer and has so much more life to it. Also roof only looked that green for like a short time. It looks like crap most of the time.

      I've been there 3 times (all three against the Celtics... go Celtics, lol) and as a stadium/arena fanatic I'm not a fan of the interior design, at all. They could've done so much better. I understand it was design for basketball first but I think they butchered it.
