NBA's Newest Arena Unveiled

Like the exterior, but that floor is ugly as hell.

Interior looks kinda cool to me, I actually quite dig the dark timber and the black and white. Are there any better photos of the exterior anywhere? Like someone said above those shitty Instagram pics show nothing.

Outside and inside look ugly as hell. Looks like a theatre\tennis centre with a court thrown down or a high school\college gym inside. In this day and age I expect much more from a new stadium. I feel sorry for nets fans when their stuck with this piece of crap in 10 years time considering it's already dated and it hasn't even opened yet!

the floor is sick but i still wouldnt wanna see my team playing on it on a regular basis. They key is too dark and will blend in with road jerseys

I don't mind the weathered steel, I'll hold judgement until I see the finished product. I think a lot of people will just 'not get' the look of the place.

Not bad. Thanks for the pics!

exterior looks like the sky took a shit on it

To be honest, who are we to say the outside of the arena looks ugly? The Eiffel Tower was once considered very ugly by the French. Now it's one of the most recognizable monuments in the world. As for the interior, it looks mediocre to me. You would think they would make more strides and advances in arena technology, or maybe I missed it in a post. Anything extra special about this arena?

I can't wait to see GSW's arena. They seem to be trail blazing the future of sports arenas. With some luck Seattle will too.

which hockey team plays there?

[QUOTE]It has been suggested that the New York Islanders could play games at the Barclays Center once their lease at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum expires in 2015. Brooklyn is geographically the western end of Long Island, and many on other parts of the island have roots there.

Also, the Nets and Islanders had previously shared Nassau Coliseum from 1972 to 1977. Financing documents for the arena released in December 2009 indicate that

That is the finished product. That's what it looks like now.

At the end of the day, I just can't not like a bball arena.

Even if the Islanders decide to re-locate to Brooklyn, the Barclays Center's hockey sightlines won't be that good. If you saw one of the pictures on the first page, you would have to take out sections of the end-zone seating on one end just to fit a regulation-size hockey rink in that building.

Barclays is also suppose to host some exhibition hockey games featuring some teams from Russia's top league, the KHL.
