There is a huge development going on not far from our place. The building of the Barclays Center.
Thus will be the home to the ex New Jersey Nets… they are going to become the Brooklyn Nets and play their home games there. YES!
As well as this Andrea Bocelli will be performing his only New York show there in December and Jay-Z, as part owner of The Nets and with an obvious interest in the stadium, will also be performing shows there to open the stadium. I am hoping we will get a lot more concerts there seeing as it is so close.
The first basketball game scheduled to be played there will be the University of Maryland Vs Kentucky. I love the Terps! In 2008 I took part in a study tour when I was finishing my Masters at RMIT and spent two weeks at the University of Maryland studying at the Robert H Smith Business School. It was AWESOME. I wish I could’ve been an exchange student and stayed for a semester.
Here I am with the girls at the Maryland Vs Holy Cross game –
For the Maryland Vs Kentucky game, there was a presale on Saturday and we got tickets! The most awesome thing is we just have to walk or get the bus a few stops home. Goodness knows what the traffic situation is going to be like along Flushing Avenue and Atlantic Avenue whenever there are events there, but I think this is just an awesome addition to Brooklyn!
