The Barclays Center has released its February 2025 calendar of events: it includes 15 ticketed events over 14 days: eight Brooklyn Nets games, three concerts, one Harlem Globetrotters game, and three of four Monster Jam live truck stunt shows.
Of the latter, two are this Saturday and one on Sunday. Also listed is a boxing press conference at noon on Feb. 27, presumably for the March 2 WBA Lightweight title fight.
Private events
It also includes four unspecified private events on two days: February 11 and February 25. On Feb. 11, the events will run from 9:30 am (doors) to 2 pm, and 2:30 pm (doors) to 7 pm, while on Feb. 25, the events will run from 7 am to noon and 5 pm to 9 pm.
The February 25 morning event is the
Brooklyn Org Spark Breakfast, a "moving celebration of our borough’s nonprofit community and our newest $100,000 winners, taking place for the first time at the Barclays Center."
The winners are Brooklyn Book Bodega, Brownsville Community Culinary Center, Community Help in Park Slope, Good Call, and Technology for Families in Need
Note that Brooklyn Org, formerly the Brooklyn Community Foundation, partners with the Joe and Clara Wu Tsai Foundation's Social Justice Fund, run by the operators of the arena, on awards like the
Just Brooklyn prize.
Presumably they got a reasonable deal on the arena.
Past promises
Remember, the arena operators were supposed
make available a minimum of ten events at the arena for use by community groups at a reasonable cost, organized via the Downtown Brooklyn Neighborhood Alliance, or DBNA, a signatory of the Atlantic Yards Community Benefits Agreement.
That never happened, and I'm not sure Brooklyn's leading foundation qualifies.
February 2024In February 2024, there were 17 ticketed events over 13 days: six Brooklyn Nets games, two concerts, one Globetrotters game, and eight Ringling Brothers circus shows over four days.
The calendar also included three days of unspecified private events, clearly part of the training camp Feb. 2-4
announced by the USA Basketball Women’s National Team.
