Barclays Center

A premier sporting arena and entertainment center in Brooklyn, Barclays Center opened with much fanfare in September 2012 with their very first event, a deafening Jay-Z concert, that turned out to be a sold-out affair. The gigantic venue boasts a capacity of 19,000 fans and can host basketball and ice hockey as well as concerts with equal aplomb. Designed by the experts responsible for such stellar venues as TD Garden and Time Warner Cable Arena, Barclays Center boasts excellent facilities for fans. In addition to luxury suites catering to those looking for a bit of privacy, the venue also has no less than 37 food options as well as a few shopping outlets. The arena is home to the Brooklyn Nets, an American basketball team.
