Parking Plan? What Parking Plan?

Opening Night is seven and a half months away, but Barclays Center management has yet to settle on a parking plan, the Post reports, leading to fears among local residents that "stacked parking" will be installed at the last minute, leading to massive delays in retrieving cars at the end of games and other events.
Residents have been demanding a transportation plan for months. There have been discussions about a prefab parking deck. Engineers say one could be set up in weeks, but there's no indication a deal has been closed. State approval mandates Bruce Ratner provide parking for 1,100 cars on-site. Ratner is building a $72 million Transit Connection in front of Barclays Center to will link nine subway lines and the LIRR to the arena. It's hoped a large number of fans will use mass transit to get to the game.
Meanwhile, a plan to ferry Nets fans from a park-and-ride in Staten Island to the arena has apparently been abandoned.

Well I for one will not be attending any games until there is a parking garage.

Yet casual basketball fans think he is a God, and would exhaust their entire squads to land him...
permanent or pre-fab?
above ground or below ground?

Ha.
Something where I can drive 250 miles to the game and not have to worry about getting on a ferry, or get on a subway…

well...they need to get this figured out ASAP
ITS A VVVVVVVVVVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEE
So glad I have a 5 block walk to this arena...
Needless to say, I’m not surprised that they abandoned alternative means Of getting to the arena. One way to guarantee some return on tax dollars spent to build the arena: forced use of public transportation.
behavior modification
last two times I drove to Yankee Stadium, I missed the first three innings.

I also officially sold my car this weekend, so Power to the Pedestrians!!!
I wouldn’t even pay lip service to the vehicular dependents. All they have to say is “we moves this team out of the swampy meadowlands so you no longer have to drive to/from the game. We did this for you!”
might be
get on subway in the Village. Enjoy the whacky scenery.

If Dwill doesn’t resign parking and traffic probably won’t be an issue.

My guess is that there would be a whole lot of other issues.

Concerns me that the Nets are relying on people using public transportation. We can’t afford to turn fans away because of inconvenience with transportation.
