We opted to drive to BK for a Liberty game and wanted to park as close to the arena as possible. This lot is as close as you can get-- right across the street. Because of this, it's extremely busy and the area is congested 100% of the time. Other than waiting a very long time to drop off and retrieve my vehicle, this lot was pretty decent. Be sure to search online for a coupon code because there is almost always one available. Download their parking app because you will need it for payment and to request your vehicle. I highly recommend making a reservation because it fills up quickly. Again- give yourself plenty of time if you use this lot because you're going to need it.

I was lucky enough to get my large bag in, they do check all the bags, large and small. I recommend bringing less items. I was coming from work so I had a laptop with me, but cleared everything else in the bag and left them in the office, so it's not too bad to go through the securities. They did say not to bring large bags in the emails before the concert, but since i went after work and will be working from home the next day, I didn't want to have to head into the office, so I kind of just tried it and was glad I got through since they weren't too strict that day. I did hear from my friend that her friend had to pay $15 for someone to watch the bag for Ariana's concert before, so I guess it just depends on the concert. Overall, I had a good time and enjoyed the concert (and was super lucky to get a seat upgrade). Great vibes, cool space and nice crowd.

Barclays Center's best attribute is that it feels like an arena built for Brooklyn rather than…read moredropped into Brooklyn. The food, branding, and music programming reflect a newer era than MSG, Prudential Center, or The Xfinity Center, when cultural identity became part of the venue itself. Atlantic Terminal makes the location outstanding, while the building still feels fresh and current. Even the Nets' black and white identity and merch are among my favorites in sports. Jay-Z is the experience I will always associate most deeply with this building. I saw him shortly after Barclays opened and returned for another tour, and as a lifelong massive hip hop fan, seeing Hov perform blocks from where he grew up was one of the best nights of my life. Jay is 56, I am 41, and Drake is 39, which matters because people my age were buying Jay-Z albums, watching his videos, and following his rise while we were coming of age. Chicago, where my roots are, also feels culturally closer to New York in this context: Bulls and Knicks before Bulls and Raptors, with East Coast hip hop woven into that era. Drake is absolutely a superstar in his own right, and I would be stoked to see him at the Garden again. My preference for Jay at Barclays is praise for one of hip hop's godfathers performing in his native neighborhood, not a knock on anyone else. I have seen Bruce Springsteen in New Jersey and understand how powerful that homecoming energy can be, but Jay means considerably more to me personally. Seeing him command Barclays in Brooklyn was mind-blowing because the artist, the music, and the geography all belonged together. Basketball works extremely well here too. I did the Nets courtside experience with food before the game for roughly $400 to $500, and it felt like an excellent splurge. That range is about my ceiling for a regularly accessible sports experience, roughly the same mental category as a serious dinner at Brooklyn Fare excluding alcohol, tax, and tip. I have also done the Yankees Legends experience through corporate tickets, which was cool, but premium sports hospitality gets stupid expensive quickly. Ally Love was such a smart choice as the Nets host because she captured the version of Brooklyn Barclays understands so well. To me, Ally is Black athletic urban fashion with music and dance at the core; fitness and team sports complete the picture, from basketball to studio cycling. Elaine Welteroth represents Black creative urban fashion and Manhattan media; Michelle Obama brings Princeton, law, and government; Coco Gauff and the Williams sisters connect elite Black women's sport to New York through the US Open. Ally's Fordham background adds another New York layer, and she is gorgeous and magnetic while still feeling natural, wholesome without being square, and polished without losing her edge. Music has given me several other memorable nights here, including The Black Keys, who absolutely slayed and sounded fantastic. I also attended SOURCE360 for The Source's 25th anniversary, with The Diplomats and Lil' Kim among the performers and Wu Tang Clan headlining, knowing multi-artist anniversary shows can get messy. This was basically a giant hip hop party: we got faded, had fun, and I would happily go back to another Source event. Local names like Cafe Habana and Junior's Cheesecake further the sense that Barclays wants Brooklyn and New York culture inside the building. Ultimately, Barclays does an unusually good job holding different Brooklyns together. Old school and new school, sports and music, longtime Black cultural influence and newer wealth all coexist here, while nearby Kith feels like an almost perfect parallel brand. The arena feels sophisticated without sanding off the borough's personality. I have had premium basketball seats, messy hip hop nights, and transcendent concerts here, but Jay-Z performing in Brooklyn remains the perfect expression of why I think Barclays Center is so damn cool.

There have been times when the lot was near full, but the team here monitors that so that there is always parking available for monthly pass holders. Recently, I changed jobs and no longer needed to park in the lot anymore and called to let them know not to renew for the next month. The man who answered the call let me know that the system was down so they weren't able to process any auto payments anyway and that he'd let the employee who handles the monthly payments know to discontinue my account. My job ended a week into the new month and the week after I was no longer there, I noticed that they had charged my credit card for the upcoming month. I called back and spoke with the manager who refunded me partially for the month since I had used the pass for about a week which I thought was fair. He assured me that my card will no longer be charged as well. If you are a SUNY Downstate employee, the lot offers a discount for the monthly pass. Bring your ID to show them proof of employment.
