Anyone going to Brooklyn?

Yes, the Barclays Center. Really cool venue for those who haven't been there.
I'll be there as well.
I'll be there. Bought tickets yesterday through the AmEx Presale. Pretty pumped to get second row seats for $62 each with fees. Looked at the Nets site last night. They have a cool 3D seating chart. Seats are normally $1,350 per seat for each Nets game. That's just crazy.
Thinking about taking the MegaBus up there, I can't get enough of NYC! Obviously this is going to be a lot smaller than the Pinstripe Bowl from a few years ago, but it's really cool seeing fellow Cyclone fans in such a crazy place so far away from home.
Anybody have any tips on how best to get there? NY scares me as a transportation problem.
I'm used to coming from the north/Metro North from Boston or Hartford, but not sure how to approach it from the south from Washington. Is it better to grab Amtrak north (which I hate, mostly on the $$$ side, to be honest), or is it better to drive to somewhere around NYC, park, ride a train/metro into the city and somehow transfer my way to Brooklyn? Just wondering from somebody who might know the area better than myself. Thanks.

Mega bus, bolt bus, china town bus. If u want to drive, there would be plenty of options to park and ride. Go to jersey. There will probably be tons of parking at coney island since it'll be the dead of winter. And Barclays is easy to get to: 9 trains stop there. And so does the long island railroad
Bump.
I just bought my tickets for Brooklyn.
So, um, back to my previous question, anybody know *specifics* (i.e. go to this ParkNRide here, take this train here, etc.) to show up for this game?
:smile:
I'll be driving up north on I-95 or associated roads from Washington.
I'd know how to do this from the north (i.e. Metro North), just not sure from the south.
I figured somebody might have some ideas.
Thanks!

Man, it would be fun to see a game there. Still, it seems odd to have ISU playing SC as the only game. Is this just a made for TV event? Or tied in with a charity? Can't imagine that there are enough alumni in the area or that 15k New Yorkers want to pay good money to see this game.
Seeing as it landed CBS Sports Network, I really doubt this. I wonder if ISU wanted to get a game in NYC against a major conference opponent (for recruiting purposes) and South Carolina was the best taker.
You can park at coney island in bk or citi field in queens. Coney island would make the most sense.
I definitely see how this makes sense for us in terms of recruiting. I don't see how it makes sense for the Barclay Center.
someone (pollard/hoiballer/some other coach) said it was a great recruiting opportunity. we recruit NY fairly heavily. took advantage of the opportunity.
