They were unprepared the staff had no idea what to do. they couldnt handle the all star game. I waited 20 min online for a drink was last in line to be cut off and argue if i was in line or not. THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. they have a great selection for food some places were unatractive/empty while others that i wanted (normal food) were packed(huge lines). i didnt want to miss the game so i settled for a 14 dollar meal that was average at best
I live in Brooklyn, Every time it was special show in town we had to trAvel to the city msg. Now we have this amazing unique and assesible place. Is new clean and cheaper than msg. Super convenient, the suites are great and the food is very good too.
Wow!!! Not only am I impressed with the Barclay Center, but proud to have a stadium located in my neck of the woods!!! Gooooooo Brooklyn!First time we went to the Barclays Center was in January for a Celtic game and both my fiance and I were impressed. The minute we walked into the stadium I can't tell you how many people welcomed us.....I've never had that happen before especially when I used to go to games at Madison Square Garden. It was insane!! I'm not complaining, but the people that worked there were sooo friendly!!!And since we got our tickets as a gift, we were hooked up!!! Our tickets included the free buffet.....OMG, the food at the buffet was out of this world!!! I was a bit skeptical, especially with the mini sliders only because they were under the heat lamps and lord knows how long they had been sitting there, but after the first bite, HOLY CANOLI.....those little sliders were to die for!!!! Seriously, my fiance went back for seconds and after he got his seconds, they had to refill the container because everyone was going for the mini sliders!Granted the stadium is still brand new, but I was impressed with how clean the stadium is as well as how friendly the people are as well.Soooo proud to have a stadium walking distance from my house!!! Goooo Brooklyn!!!
I like the fact that Brooklyn has its own arena/concert hall etc. Islanders are coming to Brooklyn. Nets game was fun and even the upper seating was decent. Saw ELTON JOHN on New Year's Eve-awesome show. Food and drinks were good and there's plenty of bars and good restaurants in the neighborhood. Easily accessible by almost every train in NYC!
remember what they said about Yankee Stadium " every seat is a great seat" well here in Bklyn you have that going on and you walk in from the street you feel the energy on approach and no long corridors you "walk right in"Had a great time- bring your wallet
This stadium/arena is very modern and looks great inside and out. Im not sure if it was WWE's problem but the sound wasnt as loud as it usually is in other arenas ive seen them in, but this is building is cool to see
We've been to Barclay's Center multiple times - most recently for the Def Jam 30th concert in October 2014. We also went to a Jay Z concert and a Beyonce concert. It's typical NYC pricing for food and drinks so take cash or credit. Sometimes we go to Applebee's in Atlantic Terminal mall before a show to get less expensive food and cocktails; however, it's always crowded if there is an event at Barclay's since others have the same idea. We have never paid to park and always end up finding free street parking close by. There is a garage at Atlantic Terminal mall and a few local garages. The LIRR and subway stop at Barclay's too so you can leave the car at home. If you're already local, you can also take the bus.
The stadium is brand new, very impressive.Great experience. But if you are afraid of heights don't book seats at the top.
Travel to center a nightmare too many busy roads converge there. The center itself good could have nicer places to eat. No sit down resturaunts which is a shame. Advise hire a driver to drop off and pick up
Came to watch Brooklyn Netz Vs Raptors whilst in New York. My second ever basketball game and 1st ever in New York. although Brooklyn lost it was a great experience. Travel to Barclays centre was pretty easy from Lexington Avenue. just 2 trains and arrive in 25 -30 mins max. perfectly safe in the evening and all part of the experience. food options are great here also.
