Teletopez Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 "Without question, however, our biggest pipeline-related achievement during the first quarter was obtaining vacant possession in Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn, closing our new partnership with Mikhail Prokhorov for the ownership of the Barclays Center arena and the Nets team and continuing construction work on the arena," Ratner said. "Vacant possession" referred not to the entire Atlantic Yards site, or even the entire first phase, but the arena block. "All projected debt and equity needed to complete the arena construction has been fully funded, and we expect to open in late spring/early summer of 2012," he said.Atlantic Yards Report Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fish7718 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) I don't see how they plan to finish that in 8 months but construction is an amazing thing, maybe they can. Or have they already conceded it won't be ready before 11-12 season? Edited March 2, 2011 by fish7718 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arena's distinctive arched roof will be supported by a pair of 350-foot-long trusses spanning the long direction of the arena. A new image, released Tuesday, shows the first first of those arch roof beams being installed at the "billion dollar arena", as the Nets are now calling it. The placement of pre-cast concrete slabs on already installed metal decking is also projected for this week.Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teletopez Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 The arena design prevents it from being used as a regular NHL venue (capacity of only 14,000-15,000 expected in a hockey layout). Not necessarily a bad thing (unless you're an Islanders fan, I suppose) with 149 dates out of the planned 200-225 already booked. One NetsDaily user brought up an interesting point, comparing the Pru and the Barclays Center. With a non-hockey friendly design in Brooklyn, the seats can be closer in on the action, creating a better atmosphere for the basketball games.

Teletopez Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Latest set of photos (taken from all around the construction site). Short video of Deron visiting the construction site. For all those still wondering whether the Nets will ever move to Brooklyn -- stop wondering. It’s a done deal. After one more season in purgatory -- sorry, Newark -- the Nets will open the 2012-2013 season in what will certainly be the league’s finest arena. The shell of the place is up. You can see where the lower-level seats will be, where the first row of suites will be. You can see that the stands will be intimately close to the court, which should lead to a raucous, uproarious, college-like atmosphere. Chris Broussard after touring the construction site.
