Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
which hockey team plays there?

Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
Ugly as hell. Just horrible. And I'm not saying that because I'm a Knicks fan,I'm saying that because I really mean it. For example I hate the Celtics but I love their arena.
But this shit is just terrible. It only looks good from the outside.

Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
Not a big fan of the interior. Of the new or "newish" arenas, Amway Center looks nicer if you ask me.

Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
The exterior is amazing. There is also a video on YouTube demonstrating the arenas platform lighting at night which lights up the entire block in a series of different colors. The interior color of the wood is not as appealing and I wish it was a light color. Dark brown wood and black paint are a bad combo. I'm satisfied though.

Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
I actually don't mind it. I like it made to be worn and rusty, although that doesn't really play out knowing it is brand new arena. But it's ok, they tried to make it somewhat unique.
-
Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
I like it. I also like the plainness of the new jerseys so maybe I'm in the minority tho.
-
Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
Black color makes everything prettier and manlier.
-
Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
I kinda like it. looks a bit vintage (talking about the court)
-
Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
Looks fine. Get some signage up throw a few thousand people in there and it'll be rocking. Outside looks really great

Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
Seating capacity looks like it tops out at what, 8,000? :lol no seriously though that looks like one of the smallest arenas in the NBA is there an upper level of seating that just can't be seen in the pics or something?

18,103 is seating capacity according to Wikipedia. That's 4th smallest in the NBA (only Hornets,Kings and Rockets have smaller arena). The biggest NBA arena is The Palace in Detroit with just over 22000 seats.

Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
I personally like it alot. The place is going to be great they dont shell out that type of money for a sub par arena. Prokhorov(sp), is trying to turn this franchise around and i commend him for that. Cant wait to catch a game at the expense of my wallet:lol
-
Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
It kinda feels cramped up, I dunno maybe it's a small arena but it looks like a theatre turned into a basketball arena. I like the exterior soccerish design though.
-
Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
the arena looks unique and different. looks good. only people saying otherwise are Knick fans. of course.

It has nothing to do with me being a Knick fan. I hate the Celtics more than I hate the Nets but I still find their arena great. I can't say that about Barclays Center. Ugly as hell.
-
Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
I don't like the exterior design either. When I walked by the terminal while it was still in construction I thought the rusted look was only temporary, but nope. The weathering steel benefits seem exaggerated as well as it has its downsides. Believe me, it really is ugly as it seems. Usually I'd try to be biased and say that it looks better in person, but nooooope. Maybe it'll be decent when it opens at night with all the lighting inside. The concept picture actually looks really nice.
But for those who are hating on the interior design such as the court itself, wthell? What did you expect it to look like?

Maybe it will look better in an actual game. Preseason will start soon so we'll see how it looks like on TV.

Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
Looks fine. Should say Nets in the middle instead of that ugly ass B.
-
Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
The outside is ugly, it looks (on purpose) like it's old and rusted. People telling me it looks good are full of shit, do you walk around and see old rusted cars and think DAMN THAT LOOKS GOOD. SOmetimes trends baffle me, and the "let's make it rusted before it actually happens so that we are ahead of the curve" is one of them. And i've actually seen it many times, not just in photos.
Everything i've heard about the inside is that its fantastic though. And that's from people who have been given tours of the place.
-
Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
I love the court!
Reminds me of the Celtics from back in the day
-
Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
It looks ugly and plain, but not overwhelming on the eyes(like some arenas/stadiums can be) so the plainness might be a blessing in disguise

Thats by design.
They way when they only get 14K in there to see the Nyets, they can claim they get 75% attendance. :oldlol:

i'm kind of curious because i get this vibe from people they like the shirts, think its cool there is a team in Brooklyn, have no desire to become bigger basketball fans or actually go. The Knick fans i know talk more about going (to see the Knicks or a low cost alternative to see the Lakers or Heat live).

Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
i think the black colors make it seem like a college atmosphere. just my opinion :confusedshrug:
im not calling it ugly though. wouldnt mind going to a game. who's in? :lol

Isn't that a good thing as a fan going there...you get to be closer to the court and have a better view.

Me and all my Knick fans i know are going opening night. Even it we have to scalp its still cheaper. :D MSG East. Going to be fun to ruin their opener.

-
Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
The area they had to build the arena in is not that big and they wanted nice amneities, etc. I'm thinking that corresponded with less seats. It's not that big an arena.
Again no hate, i've been told it's really really nice inside.

To have a noisy arena it has to be filled with passionate fans. It will only get noisy when the Knicks play "road" games at Barclays Center. :lol

Doubt it.
The Knicks have been one of the most disappointing sports franchises in all of sports over the past decade...
..in terms of both success and in terms of them being nice guys and being a hard working team that is easy to root for (Isiah allegations, Steph Marbury allegations, giving up Jeremy Lin, etc).
Any smart Knick fan is going to give becoming a Brooklyn fan a serious consideration.

And the Nets have been disappointing forever. 0 championships,2 Eastern Conference titles and they missed the playoffs more time than they made it.
Knicks might have sucked for the past decade but they have much more success over the history than the Nets do. 2 championships,8 Eastern Conference titles. Also during the past few seasons the Knicks have been the better team and I expect them to be better over the coming years.
-
Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
Saying it will only be noisy when Knicks play there is pretty ignorant. :rolleyes:
They aren't in Jersey anymore, Season tickets are already selling/sold like hot cakes.
The thought of it being dead in there is delusional.

Re: NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled
Meh.
The Warriors' new arena is the one I'm waiting for.

Heard a lot of good things about that place.
And they will have NOBODY there next year. Shame.
