history
The Barclays Center was originally built as the home for the Nets NBA franchise when they moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn. The venue was built with concerts in mind as well with excellent acoustics. In fact, the grand opening event was a Jay-Z show in 2012. Since then, it has acted as a top large-capacity concert venue in New York City along with Madison Square Garden.
