After years of public controversy, Barclays Center is actually opening its doors on September 28th, starting with a blockbuster series of concerts by part-owner Jay Z.
The stadium isn't, um, an architectural wonder. OK.
But....Will there be horrific traffic jams? Will people take public transportation? Will locals love it or be bent out of shape? Will the 1 AM bar closing time prove a public nuisance or a boon to local businesses?
Soon enough, we will find out.

Considering that on a quiet holiday weekend at 10 am, there was a traffic jam in front of the arena, as there is at almost every hour of every day, yes, it will be a traffic nightmare. And, just wait until Sept 30, when it’s Atlantic Antic and Jay Z. Do we really have that many cops to direct traffic? Do not think so.
