After concert last night, a mess on the Barclays Center plaza (video).

I don't get these reports as often as I used to, but I don't think it's because Barclays Center is today consistently calm after events. It's just that fewer people report it.

But an arena neighbor sent me a couple of videos shot early this morning, at about 12:45 am, after the Sexyy Red show (calendar) had ended at the arena.

As the first video shows, the number of garbage cans (few) was not enough for the plastic cups and garbage strewn on the arena plaza, sponsored by Ticketmaster.

If the arena doesn't have a late-shift cleanup crew--and it didn't look like it--well, presumably that was cleared by this morning.

Around the corner

As the video below shows, there was some impromptu vending along Flatbush Avenue. As has been obvious, unlicensed vendors (and scalpers) operate regularly outside the arena for all kinds of events, from concerts to family shows to basketball games.

That's not (regularly) enforced, just as numerous traffic violations, such as illegal idling and parking, get a bye. In other words, lax enforcement helps keep arena patrons coming and bolsters the Barclays' business model. 

In case you forgot, the arena company is owned by billionaire Joe Tsai, with a 15% slice owned by the family of Julia Koch.
