Brooklynites Buy Barclays Suites

Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment

If you're looking for another indicator that the Nets are becoming Brooklyn's (and New York's) team, here's one: 39% of Barclays Center suites sold have been sold to Brooklyn buyers, and another 25% to buyers in Manhattan.

"Then, a mixture of Jersey, Connecticut, Philly-based," says  Dan Lefton, vice president of Suites Sales, describing who else is buying.

The arena will have 104 suites (four times what they had at IZOD) and according to team sources, "about half" have been sold. Sales have been slowed by the NBA lockout, among other things.  The big challenge, however, will come at end of the year. The Nets will start selling ten of the top-end "Event Level" suites (above), which go for $550,000 and were designed with help from Jay-Z.

NI, you really wished the headline could be "Manhattanites buy Barclay's Suites"

I'm seriously thinking of buying one of those luxury suites...

The only thing that’s stopping me is the $550,000 price tag…

Anybody want to go in half ?

Yep...Boston Herald...
After breaking off talks last Friday, the NBA and players’ union are expected to resume face to face negotiations this Saturday in New York, according to involved sources.

 We’re still awaiting confirmation from the league office, but sources say the plan is pretty much set.

Players had a meeting today

I wonder if they’ve decided to cave in. Hopefully 50/50 is even still an option.

why is the showroom in midtown Manhattan?

I’ve been to the showroom, it is very nice but I’m wondering why they decided to place the showroom in Manhattan is they are selling the Brooklyn brand. The fact that 40% of suite buyers are bklyn confirms they did not have worry there was not enough 1% people in “outer boro” territory to have the showroom there.

Was it ever about Brooklyn?

Ratner only uses Brooklyn for business purposes for the most part. Everything else, he does in Manhattan. The same thing is implied with Jay-Z and Proky. None of them truly care about the borough except for what they can make off of it. As always, Ratner is just a wolf in sheep’s clothing as he always is.
