It's not the Garden, and I love the Garden, but Barclays is gonna be pretty damn sweet anyway. No reason we can't play at both, we are New York's College team after all.
I'm fine with that, but I do think it's a downgrade.
But I'll admit to being biased; to me the Garden IS the Mecca. Far from perfect, and definitely in need of a face lift, so to speak, but there's no where else I'd rather watch a basketball game and I think there is definitely something to be said for playing at the Garden meaning a lot mroe than playing at the Barclays. (While understanding this sentiment could change as time goes on).
But it's not like it's a big deal; this is a stupid preseason tournament we play in like every 3 years. I'm not going to not go because it's in Brooklyn (though it will be more of a pain in the ass to get to, but whatever) or anything like that.
