Nets unveil new design for Brooklyn arena

NEW YORK -- A new design for the Brooklyn home of the New Jersey Nets features weathered steel and glass, with a canopy that juts out like the bill of a baseball cap.

Developer Bruce Ratner unveiled the new design for the Barclays Center on Wednesday. It replaces a design from renowned architect Frank Gehry.

The Barclays Center is the centerpiece of the multi-building Atlantic Yards project.

Ratner took Gehry off the $1 billion project in June, citing cost concerns. He was replaced by the firm Ellerbe Becket. The price tag for the project was taken down to $800 million.

Ratner said SHoP Architects will be joining with Ellerbe Becket on the design.

The King will make his way to the castle and leave the peasants behind him in Cleveland.  Should be a great place to watch basketball once they get it going.

With the Town of Hempstead seemingly hellbent on driving the Islanders out of town, it seems like a decent fit for them to land in Brooklyn.  Why not?
