Brooklyn Nets New Home Court
Brooklyn Nets CEO Brett Yormark debuts the new home court of the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center.
After nine years, Yormark had finally stepped foot on the Barclays Center hardwood.
"It's surreal to think that the court's down, that the building's almost completed," Yormark said. "It's been a long journey, but I think you can fairly say it's well worth the wait. I think Brooklynites, all our key stakeholders, owners, management, all of our employees are really going to be pleased when they see the court and the finished product here. It's spectacular."
It consists of 240 panels each measuring 4-feet wide, 7-feet long and 185 pounds; they took two weeks to construct, utilizing specialized milled lumber.The team's logo, a basketball emblazoned with a 'B' and encircled by "Brooklyn, New York" appears at center court.
The courts debut for the season is on November 1. They will host against the visiting New York Knicks.
Are the Brooklynites ready? Are the players ready to rock the arena? Lets Go BROOKLYN!
