The problem with Barclays is that it was not built for hockey. There are lots of seats and sections with obstructed lines of vision. I know because I went to the first preseason hockey game last year (Isles/Devils) and walked all over the arena. Plus, the upper bowl at Barclay's is a horrible place to sit because you are extremely far away from the action. I know just about all the sections and seats where one should not sit as I took extensive notes when I went to the game. Yes, Barclay's is quite beautiful inside and is state of the Art in so many ways. Subway and LIRR access is accessible inside Barclay's without stepping one foot outside. Moreover, there are nice restaurants and places to go right around the area. Not as nice as MSG, of course, but still nice for being outside Manhattan. Why one would want to buy anything inside Barclay's or MSG given the offerings directly outside, is beyond me unless one is coming directly from work and has not had time to eat dinner or get a bite to eat/drinks. Also, prices for tickets are going to increase dramatically, which will scare off some people.

If you ever get lost in Brooklyn (which is easy) or want some info, all you have to do first is tell a local that you love Brooklyn, but would appreciate if they could help you. As soon as you tell them you love Brooklyn, there whole face will light up and they'll do just about anything for you. When I went to Barclay's for Isles game, I was sitting outside on the benches and all the locals were coming up to me asking me if I was going to be a regular season ticket holder at Barclays. I said, of course, my wife is a Brooklyn girl and she would kill me if I gave up my season tickets. That got me a smile. But when I told them I love Brooklyn too, I got high fives and lots of insane laughter.
