Barclays Center is setting a new standard as the showcase venue for the world's most thrilling entertainment and sports events in the heart of Brooklyn, at the crossroads of Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues.
Barclays Center is the state-of-the-art home of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets and the WNBA’s New York Liberty. It boasts one of the most intimate seating configurations ever designed for a modern multi-purpose arena.
A model for sustainable design and construction, Barclays Center has earned LEED Silver Certification for New Construction from the U.S. Green Building Congress, becoming the first professional sports and entertainment venue in the New York metro area to achieve this status.
Barclays Center opened to extensive critical acclaim and was recognized with several major awards, including the 2012 Pollstar Award for Best New Major Concert Venue, the 2013 Sports Business Awards Facility of the Year, the Architizer A+ Building of the Year Award, and the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce Brooklyn Building Award for Economic Development.
Since its opening on September 28, 2012, with the first of eight consecutive sold-out shows by JAY Z, Barclays Center has continued to host the world's most renowned performers, including Barbra Streisand, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Beyonce, Rihanna, Madonna, and Bruce Springsteen. The success of these events has made Barclays Center one of the most popular arenas in the world, ranked top ten nationally in 2018 for gross revenue and attendance by Billboard and Pollstar.
The arena offers 17,732 seats for basketball and up to 19,000 seats for concerts. It has 101 luxury suites and an array of bars, lounges, and clubs, including the 40/40 CLUB and Qatar Airways Club.
- The arena cost more than $1 billion to build. The western entrance of Barclays Center is taken from the corner of Atlantic Avenue and Flatbush Avenue.
- The first basketball game that was played there was an NBA preseason game between the Nets and the Washington Wizards on October 15, 2012.
- The arena's iconic exterior is made of 12,000 uniquely shaped panels in weathered steel, which recall the color and scale of adjacent brownstone blocks.
