“Why should there be affordable housing so close to these major entertainment venues???? Entitled much????’
Because when you make promises to get public money, you should keep them.

Because that was part the the f*cking deal, that’s why.
The movie on the screen is Up which is a Pixar movie. Dittoburg – you must not have children between the ages of 3 and 12. Agree that the teardrop screen is silly.
maybe mr Carter will open the stadium up with some discounted tickets to a few concerts there
Seriously, I don’t know if Joan Baez is still playing — what sorts of events do you “I’ll never set foot in there” folks actually go see?

To all those saying that they will never go to an event in the Arena……
Thank you.
Its embarassing reading all these comments from people who will not set foot in the arena and are against it.
This is great for Brooklyn and that area. Looking at the big picture this will clean up that corner and bring alot of jobs to the area. So get over yourself.
