What it's known for
Barclays Center’s brown, rusted-steel exterior and huge canopy over the entrance plaza make it instantly recognizable. It brought major league sports back to Brooklyn for the first time since the Dodgers left in 1957.
The arena is also home to the WNBA’s New York Liberty and hosts concerts and boxing.
Getting there
The Atlantic Avenue–Barclays Center subway station serves many lines, and the Long Island Rail Road stops at Atlantic Terminal next door. Driving isn’t recommended.
Tips for your visit
- Take the subway; the station entrance is in the arena plaza.
- Explore nearby Park Slope or Fort Greene before the game.
- Madison Square Garden is a short subway ride away for a two-arena trip.
