The Nets, formerly of New Jersey, will make their debut as the Brooklyn Nets this fall, and Barclays will serve as the team’s home. But, they won’t be the first to officially break the new arena in. Jay-Z will.
The hip-hop superstar will kick off the
launch of the venue with eight shows, starting Friday (September 28, 2012), with Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Bob Dylan, Barbra Streisand, and others playing host in the weeks following.
The $1 billion complex features 19,000 seats, a Calvin Klein Courtside Club, designed specifically with VIPs like Jay and Beyonce in mind. Other features include a three-story HD scoreboard, one of the biggest in the NBA.
Jay-Z is a minority owner of the Nets, and has logged extensive hours helping bring Barclays to fruition. He also led the redesign of the Nets’ new logo, uniforms, etc.
This part of Prezzo‘s new status as the next Ambassador for the ONE Campaign, an organization which campaigns to fight extreme poverty and global diseases. A reward he got for winning the ONE Campaign task during the Big Brother StarGame show which saw Nigerian super star and ONE Campaign Ambassador, 2face visiting the Big Brother house.
