Barclays Center and Jay Z's Blueprint

The Barclays Center opened October 1 with Jay Z as the headliner. He perform several sold
out shows,one featuring an appearance by his wife, Beyonce. The concerts were a culmination
of Jay Z's vision of bringing a professional sports franchise and an international venue back to
his beloved Brooklyn.
The Barclays Center holds 18,200 and cost approximately 1 billion dollars to build. The areas
near the Center have new condos,shops and restaurants. Inside, there are 37 Brooklyn vendors
that will offer a variety of food options that are reflective of the area.
The Barclays Center has high tech amenities that cater to the next millennium fan. The most
innovative development is the app that enable the users to order food from their seats.The mobile application also has the capacity to provide event information. There are over 700 HDTVs
throughout the venue.
Jay Z  help create 11 exclusive suites that are called The Vault. The cost to rent a suite annually
is over 500,000 dollars. Jay Z's clothing store,Rocawear is also scheduled to open in the Center.
Some of the artists scheduled to perform at the Center include John Legend, Journey, Justin
Bieber and Rihanna. The Brooklyn Nets will also play their home games in the Barclays Center.
I plan to go to an event there. I am giving it a recommend to all that read this.
