Since 1957 when the Dodgers
moved to Los Angeles, the New York City borough of Brooklyn has
been without a professional sports franchise. In 2010 that will
change when the New Jersey Nets move into the Barclays Center.
To be constructed atop the Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn, the Nets
arena is being built as part of a $3.5 billion multiuse complex
that includes an arena, businesses and residential areas. It
will have a seating capacity of 18,000 for basketball and
expandable for other events. Currently, the Nets play in the
third oldest arena in the NBA, the Izod Center. When Bruce
Ratner bought the club in 2004 he decided to move the team to
Brooklyn. Barclays Bank of London bought the naming rights to
the arena for $400 million over 20 years. Construction is
expected to start in 2008.
