Barclays Center releases March 2020 calendar: 24 ticketed events (including last Islanders' games?); private events still not listed
The Barclays Center has released its March 2020 calendar, which has 24 ticketed events over 22 days: nine Nets games, seven Atlantic 10 men's basketball games over five days, three New York Islanders games, three concerts, one boxing event, and one wrestling event.
This will likely be the last Islanders games at the arena ever, given the expected announcement by Gov. Andrew Cuomo today that all games next year, as well as playoff games this year, will be played at the Nassau Coliseum, closer to the fan base, and to the under-construction Belmont Park arena.
Note that last year the Atlantic 10 was presented as simply five ticketed basketball events over five days. This year there's separate ticketing.
The calendar also notes one non-ticketed event, on March 9 at the Barclays Center plaza from 4-6 pm: Brooklyn Nets Threes for Trees Plaza Activation, which is not explained but apparently involves a tree giveaway.
And despite public requests for listing of such non-ticketed events, and the acknowledgment by a Barclays executive at a meeting in January, the Community Notice again omits other events, such as the third annual SportTechie State Of The Industry conference on March 26–27.
March 2019
The Barclays Center March 2019 calendar had 16 ticketed events over 16 days: five Nets games, five Atlantic 10 men's basketball games, three concerts, one boxing event, one NBA2K Draft and one Rock & Roll Hall of Fame event.
Presumably the Atlantic 10 had the same number of games, just a different ticketing process.
