Barclays Center opened in 2012 on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn and is the home court of the NBA's Brooklyn Nets and the WNBA's New York Liberty, and it also hosts concerts. SHoP Architects wrapped the arena in 12,000 preweathered steel panels, with an oculus and LED screen hanging over the entrance plaza. It has no dedicated parking and sits directly above Atlantic Terminal, where the LIRR and ten subway lines stop.
