Barclays Center - Newark, NY
Venue Info
Barclays Center is a state-of-the-art multi-purpose arena located in Brooklyn, NY, with a seating capacity of 17,732. It serves as the home for the Brooklyn Nets (NBA) and the New York Liberty (WNBA). The arena features three distinct seating levels: the 100 Level (Lower Bowl/Courtside), 200 Level (Mid Level), and 300 Level (Upper Level). This unique design ensures that a larger proportion of seats face the sidelines, providing most spectators with excellent sightlines.
The best seats in the house are located in the 100-level sideline sections (106-110, 122-125), which offer premium close-up views. For those seeking value, the mid-level 200s provide solid views at a more affordable price. However, it is advisable to avoid sections behind the baselines unless seated in very close rows, as well as the last contiguous row in the upper deck due to potential sightline issues.
Barclays Center is not only known for its sports events but also hosts a variety of concerts and performances throughout the year. The arena features wide concourses adorned with Brooklyn heritage displays and offers ADA accessible seating on every level. The Box Office is open on event days, and tickets are primarily sold through Ticketmaster.
