New York City, New York
Barclays Center is a stunning multi-purpose indoor arena located in the heart of Brooklyn. Known for its distinctive weathered-steel exterior and state-of-the-art design, it is the home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets and the WNBA's New York Liberty.
The arena's striking architecture and the "Oculus" (a massive 3,000-square-foot LED canopy) at the main entrance are major highlights. The interior features a sleek, dark aesthetic and excellent sightlines from every seat.
Catch a Nets or Liberty game, see a major concert, or attend a championship boxing match. The arena also hosts family shows, collegiate sports, and community events. The surrounding area offers a wealth of dining and shopping options.
The arena is busy year-round, with basketball season running from October to April. Check the calendar for high-profile concerts and special events. The plaza in front of the arena is a great spot for people-watching before a show.
Tickets are required for all events. Security screening is mandatory. The arena is incredibly well-connected, sitting atop the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center transit hub, served by nine subway lines and the LIRR.
The arena features the "Brooklyn Taste" program, highlighting local food vendors. There are several premium lounges, bars, and a large team store. The venue is fully accessible.
Barclays Center is a "cashless" venue, so be prepared to pay with cards or mobile options. The arena has a strict bag policy, so check the latest rules before your visit. Explore the nearby Atlantic Center and the shops of Fort Greene and Park Slope.
The arena is close to the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), the Atlantic Terminal Mall, and the many restaurants and boutiques of the surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods.
