Congrats on the out clause! You were 100% right. And you've said often that you'd prefer the team in a proper arena in Las Vegas over BC, so you're a lot closer to getting your wish.
As for who talks about Brooklyn being dangerous, I'll give you one guess:
It's the other one of you!
Bones again!
NYPD called it gang related. Lovely.
I don't recall anything like this happening close to the arena in Nassau, do you? Surely a good pre-game selection of food and beer is more important than security and not worrying about crime.
Got it.
More Bones!
Still Bones!
I have no issues regarding my safety in going to Barclays arena as i am 6'4", 220. BUT
If you know Long Islanders well enough -- its a safe bet.... that the proximity of the arena to Bed Stuy and other high crime areas is NOT a positive. Don't make a wrong turn.
Nobody has mentioned it, and I even had posts removed when I did.
PS: And before someone mentions the crime rate around Uniondale, don't. Hempstead is high crime, but is 3-4 miles west of the Coli. Uniondale isnt great, but you take your car into a gated area and then drive away at the end of the game. Driving to the Coli vs taking mass transit to Brooklyn are very different.
But no one has really brought it up except the guy who fills every thread with the same nonsense. Right.
I have season tickets, so my opinion is more valuable than yours. Literally. Because I spend money on the team. So I guess I'll remind you of that every time you post.
See you in October, boys![/QUOTE]
the vegas ship has sailed unfortunately. LV was a unique preference. I'd rather Brooklyn over Quebec.
