This stadium/arena is very modern and looks great inside and out. Im not sure if it was WWE's problem but the sound wasnt as loud as it usually is in other arenas ive seen them in, but this is building is cool to see

Easy to reach by car or subway. Modern and very well organized. Excellent view from any place. A significant shopping center with major chains near by.

Wow!!! Not only am I impressed with the Barclay Center, but proud to have a stadium located in my neck of the woods!!! Gooooooo Brooklyn!First time we went to the Barclays Center was in January for a Celtic game and both my fiance and I were impressed. The minute we walked into the stadium I can't tell you how many people welcomed us.....I've never had that happen before especially when I used to go to games at Madison Square Garden. It was insane!! I'm not complaining, but the people that worked there were sooo friendly!!!And since we got our tickets as a gift, we were hooked up!!! Our tickets included the free buffet.....OMG, the food at the buffet was out of this world!!! I was a bit skeptical, especially with the mini sliders only because they were under the heat lamps and lord knows how long they had been sitting there, but after the first bite, HOLY CANOLI.....those little sliders were to die for!!!! Seriously, my fiance went back for seconds and after he got his seconds, they had to refill the container because everyone was going for the mini sliders!Granted the stadium is still brand new, but I was impressed with how clean the stadium is as well as how friendly the people are as well.Soooo proud to have a stadium walking distance from my house!!! Goooo Brooklyn!!!

I like the fact that Brooklyn has its own arena/concert hall etc. Islanders are coming to Brooklyn. Nets game was fun and even the upper seating was decent. Saw ELTON JOHN on New Year's Eve-awesome show. Food and drinks were good and there's plenty of bars and good restaurants in the neighborhood. Easily accessible by almost every train in NYC!

Came to watch Brooklyn Netz Vs Raptors whilst in New York. My second ever basketball game and 1st ever in New York. although Brooklyn lost it was a great experience. Travel to Barclays centre was pretty easy from Lexington Avenue. just 2 trains and arrive in 25 -30 mins max. perfectly safe in the evening and all part of the experience. food options are great here also.

We've been to Barclay's Center multiple times - most recently for the Def Jam 30th concert in October 2014. We also went to a Jay Z concert and a Beyonce concert. It's typical NYC pricing for food and drinks so take cash or credit. Sometimes we go to Applebee's in Atlantic Terminal mall before a show to get less expensive food and cocktails; however, it's always crowded if there is an event at Barclay's since others have the same idea. We have never paid to park and always end up finding free street parking close by. There is a garage at Atlantic Terminal mall and a few local garages. The LIRR and subway stop at Barclay's too so you can leave the car at home. If you're already local, you can also take the bus.

Had a great time at the Barclays Center - saw Cher's Farewell Show - had great seats and you could see from all locations. A trip to see a show at this place is worth-while.

I have now seen about 75 basketball games (Nets) and 10 plus concerts at Barclays Center, and this venue is really fantastic. It is easy to get to (11 train lines go to within a block or less of the arena - if you drive, you can usually find street parking on side streets between 3rd and 4th Avenue, though I highly recommend you take the subway or LIRR), it is easy to get in and out of (much faster than MSG, you are to the exit within 2 minutes of leaving your seat at Barclays), the food choices are diverse and very good (though I frankly go for dinner before the event to Bark or Broccolino right across from the arena), and the arena itself is a very nice looking arena. They did a great job. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the inside is very nice. And the staff, with just a few exceptions, seem to be genuinely happy working there and are very pleasant and friendly.

Ok so I live in the bronx and getting to Barclays is pretty easy using the subway, take the 4 and it's right there. Went to a show for first time there yesterday, circus xtreme, which was brillant, but my one complaint is this, this was a kids show @7pm, we were going to the pre show so they told everyone to arrive at 545pm. Last night was the coldest night of the year and especially Brooklyn at that time, there was strong wind, I don't know how cold it was but they left everyone standing outside freezing. I'm talking about kids been left in the freezing cold, looking through the door, with all the ushers and security standing inside nice and warm looking back at us. I had my 3 year old and was starting to worry about frostbite, kids were crying, others were shouting, it was a disgrace. The policy was to open the doors at 6pm, they should have taken into consideration how cold it was and that it was a kids show. Everyone was very nice when we got in but that was wrong Leaving kids in the cold. I didn't buy any food there, too expensive, lemonade $10 etc. we had great seats though, front row, but I did notice that the act tended to pander to the side that had the private boxes. Bathrooms were nice and clean.

Travel to center a nightmare too many busy roads converge there. The center itself good could have nicer places to eat. No sit down resturaunts which is a shame. Advise hire a driver to drop off and pick up

The stadium is brand new, very impressive.Great experience. But if you are afraid of heights don't book seats at the top.

They were unprepared the staff had no idea what to do. they couldnt handle the all star game. I waited 20 min online for a drink was last in line to be cut off and argue if i was in line or not. THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN. they have a great selection for food some places were unatractive/empty while others that i wanted (normal food) were packed(huge lines). i didnt want to miss the game so i settled for a 14 dollar meal that was average at best

remember what they said about Yankee Stadium " every seat is a great seat" well here in Bklyn you have that going on and you walk in from the street you feel the energy on approach and no long corridors you "walk right in"Had a great time- bring your wallet

Love the design of this stadium! Went to a Nets/Raptors game here in January and sat in one of the upper level sections. Court was very nice, designed to look old school and was clearly visible from upper level which has quite a steep incline. Don't sit in the upper sections if you are afraid of heights:)
