Project #4 Summary

I decided to use Barclay’s Center for my project because it is a remarkable place to begin with just by its presence. Once I heard some of the more interesting details of why it took so long to get built and what it’s being used for other than the obvious home of the Brooklyn Nets, I wanted to know more, so I did lots of research and all my questions were answered. The creator of the arena had a lot of drama surrounding him with the construction and public mistreatment. The recession caused the project to pause for an extended period of time and there was talk of it never getting finished. Now that it’s here, they use it for almost anything you can think of when it comes to entertainment. A lot of people take it for granted or almost resent it because of its short history, but I think that since we have it at our disposal, we should embrace it. If nothing else people in the area should be educated about it because it is a huge part of the community now, regardless. Now, when i think of the Barclay’s Center, I think of an enterprise, a luxury, a behemoth, and a focal point when at first it was only a basketball arena.
