Blessed with stadiums like "The House that Ruth Built" and "The World's Most Famous Arena", New York runs the gamut of splendor and might. With Barclays Center, NY has another world class stadium for it's also ran teams (the Nets and Islanders, while competitive, often pale in comparison to the Knicks and Rangers)

As a baskerball court, concert venue, and hockey rink, Barclays Center is a true multi purpose tool of a stadium. However, much like a multi tool, sometimes having something that can do 1 thing really great is better than having something that can do 3 things pretty good. Primarily designed as the home court of the Nets, the lay out of seats aren't hospitable for hockey games or some concerts. Islanders games suffer from having one corner of ice essentially blocked from view from most seats. For concerts (or really any event for that matter), seating in the upper sections are precariously arranged, and placed as if on a sheer cliff, making getting up to dance in your seat an exercise in safety.

Being a denizen of Brooklyn, the stadium should mirror the burgeoning food scene, and not resort to stadium fare of old. Sadly, while the arena may offer some unique options, most of the selection is bland, tasteless and overpriced. You'd be better off actually going to the restaurant rather than trying the offerings in the area
