The Liberty was on fire last night. Great game from start to finish.
Ellie is the star of the show! The semifinal game was absolutely thrilling!
Avoid CLEAR. Overly zealous guards (examined advil blister pack!) Make CLEAR much slower than main entrance. Eat before arriving: Barclays has limited food choices and is pre cooked prior to gate opening resulting in lukewarm hotdogs, etc. Ushers, however, are polite and professional.
There's no fan like a NY fan. Barclays is a great arena-though I don't like the near 90 degree angle of level 2. You have a good view from any seat. The energy is always contagious and what can I say about Ellie, best mascot ever! The concession stands are the worst though-better to eat before you come.
The talent of those girls was phenomenal, atmosphere crazy good. Easy to get to everything. Loved every second and was sad not to be able to get to game 2
Super fun for the whole family! The crowd, the fans, the fun - it was all Totally unexpected! We went on Sunday and then immediately nought tickets again for Tuesday! Can't wait to go to another game.
From the moment you enter the building, the energy is palpable! Getting there early always allows us to enjoy short concession lines, get all our snacks and take pics before the game starts. We love watching the before game practice as it sets us up for the main entrance. The music, the vibes, Ellie, the great playing and the awesome super supportive fans make this a great experience!! We love it there!
Liberty games always have amazing vibes and energy. Great seats, absolutely loved the playoff atmosphere, the game was incredible, and there is truly no mascot better than Ellie.
I had a great time at the liberty basketball games, 9/22 and 9/24. The energy from the fans was awesome. The liberty chances were great. Ja Rule killed it and then it was good to see a lot of celebrities. And it was good to reconnect with people I had met when liberty was at Madison Square Garden. Thank you!
Game was amazing, crowd was enthusiastic, Barclays Center is clean and comfortable
