Park Slope Patch took a tour of the Barclays Center construction site on Friday, getting a first-hand look at what will become the home of the Brooklyn Nets. (Judging from another detail in the article–there are only 1,100 parking spots slated for the 20,000-capacity stadium–this will also be the home of many future traffic jams and frustrated neighborhood car owners.) The AOL-owned local blog notes that the steel roof is now 80 percent complete and the glass panels that coat the buildings exterior will all be in place by March.

  1. Please – can we correct your comment, John?

    LESS parking spaces = fewer drivers = LESS traffic.

    Take it to its natural conclusion: imagine 20,000 parking spaces? Imagine enough parking spaces for everyone to drive. THAT is a traffic nightmare.

    If there were ZERO parking spaces — if people knew that there was no where to park — no one would drive. And there would be no traffic.

    As a long time Brownstoner reader and resident – could you please give just a moment to rethink your implication that there are “only” 1,100 spots. It should read, “…there are a whopping 1,100 parking spots” for an arena sitting atop 11 subway lines and a massive commuter rail!

    Please. Thanks.
