Coming in November: an ice rink at Brooklyn Bridge Park. New project from BSE Global, parent of arena operating company & Brooklyn Nets
After responding to a Request for Proposals from Brooklyn Bridge Park for a seasonal ice skating concession at Emily Warren Roebling Plaza, just under and east of the Brooklyn Bridge, BSE Global, in partnership with IMG, will operate Glide Brooklyn from November 15 through March 1, offering "iconic views of the Manhattan skyline."
A limited number of discounted tickets will be available daily for NYC residents with proof of residency. According to AM New York, that means 12,000 free tickets throughout the season, which averages out to fewer than 800 per week.
IMG is a sports management company. BSE Global is the umbrella company that operates the Barclays Center and owns the Brooklyn Nets and New York Liberty. This is a first expansion for BSE under current owner Joe Tsai.
While under the control of Mikhail Prokhorov, BSE expanded to operate the Nassau Coliseum and renovate Webster Hall, but left both projects. It also announced, but did not start, the renovation of the Brooklyn Paramount.
