Nets Games Visible from Street?

In an interview with the New York Observer, Bruce Ratner said that games at Barclays Center will be partially visible from the entrance plaza in from of the arena.
"It’s going to be the only court in the league where you can literally watch the game from the street outside," Ratner said. Previously, arena officials said the scoreboard will be visible from street level, but not the games. The court (or rink) will be 25' feet below street grade.
The below-grade aspect of Barclays will also permit arena managers to break up the flow of traffic as fans enter. When fans enter from ground level, depending on where they sit, they will be split between heading up or down to their seats.
"At a place like MSG, you have everybody heading up at the start of the game and then down at the end," said Ratner. "It creates a jam and it’s confusing. You’re forced to kind of follow the crowd just to know where you’re going."

Does that deserve a Warning for saying "uninate" as the first poster?
Is it possible to Warn oneself?
Why would I want to see trains coming in and out of the station?
:P

what i wondered though
and i know this would be an issue already thought of, but what if there is a flash flood warning or something? wouldn’t everything run straight into the building and downhill onto the court…?
Called home court advantage

Hmm...
Game 5 of the NBA Finals, Deron and Dwight and company looking to win it all against OKC. Arena packed, thousands more crowded in front of the entrance. Brooklyn basketball in full effect.

to what?
"Rooting for the Yankees is like rooting for Steve Jobs to win the lotto." - Chris Rock
Patrick Ewing - The NBA's all-time leader in rushing yards
What if...
Dwill and Ammo complains that they are getting distracted by the people on street?? I think Avery should have a shooting session in Barclays to make sure Dwill n co are good…
they're complaints about the Rock aren't the people
it’s the sightlines. There’s 15,000 people in the stands, I don’t think a few standing on the street is going to affect them.

It will be a fad among the Hipsters to watch the games from outside on their bikes, drinking their Pabst Blue Ribbon
I think it's fine.

How good the Public Transport will be for Barclays center
For fans coming from Central Jersey it would be better to use a Public Transport instead of taking verrizano and then BQE. Certainly dont want another deegan situation like going to yankees games.
this is what i'll be worried about

take train to Penn Station
walk a block east to 34th street subway station. Take Q train four stops to Barclays Center.
From Penn Station to Barclays shouldnt take about 25 minutes.

All am saying is that we better be on TNT or ESPN Opening Night especially If We Get Dwight
Or Else!!!

What's potentially really cool about this
Is that it could give the arena a “playground” feel that’s very NYC.
Could make for a cool atmosphere.
thats a very interesting point

i meant to ask this in the actual thread
NI, what is your impression of the keith bogans signing? what do you expect to see from him?
ITS A VVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEEEEE
When they said the home games would have a college atmosphere to them because the makeup of the bowl.. what did they mean? I dont follow college ball. Is it an advantage?

yea, college basketball has a lot of home court advantage..
but not sure it will be as effective with professional millionaires rather than young college players

College arenas
are usually packed in closer. The feeling inside a gym like Cameron Indoor is crazy, and that’s taking a tour of the arena when it’s empty. I can’t imagine how it would feel to be on the court when that place is packed full of obnoxious Duke fans.
Can anyone post a YouTube link of what it would be like inside a packed Barclays...
meaning when its packed.. just as an example so i can get an ide of what it might be like in there. The Nets havent had a legit home court advantage in so long that the prospect of a raucous home game with a legit Nets advantage enthralls me

Try Ticket Liquidator
Seems that there are a bunch of $1 and $2 seats available there.

I’ve personally never tried them, though, but my brother has used them for hockey tix with no problem.
OT: But look at this dunk by Griffin in front of Lebron and Lebron's reaction lol

More Time for JWill I guess.
Hump’s might end up playing like 45min. He played 42min last night
So now it makes perfect sense why they are bringing in Bogans. Feb 16th!!!!!!
This team is seriously short-handed right now and D-Will is being asked to ball out of his mind.
and yet we still go all out in games
but its always all Avery’s fault

I know ppl hate Petro but WE HAVE NO BIGS RIGHT NOW
No Memo, Shelden’s hurt and gets in foul trouble, JWIll is raw. We need Petro if only to give Hump rest.
of course we need Petro right now, so I don't blame Avery right now for subbing him in b/c he ha no choice
But that doesn’t mean I hate Petro any less. In fact the more he is on the floor the more he gives me justification for my pure disdain for him as a player. He absolutely killed us last night.

KOBE BRYANT IS/WAS/WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER A BETTER BASKETBALL PLAYER THAN STEPHEN GRAHAM.
Adam Morrison got his team multiple championships barely trying, if that's not a great player...I don't know who is.
Sort of 5 when you look at it. Aside from Petro, any of them would start today if healthy.

Perhaps I worded that poorly, my point is Okur would start today because of Lopez’s injury. So in that sense, he would be a starter.
