Bringing Sports Fans Closer to Action

Barclays Center – New York City’s newest sports and entertainment venue - is scheduled to open on September 28th. The Center will be accessible via 11 subway lines, the LIRR and 11 bus lines. The Center will feature Cisco’s Connected Stadium intelligent network, which will allow its management to control wired and wireless access, security, surveillance, ticketing, and point of sale transactions.

The Center will provide a mobile app that will connect sports fans to live action wherever their seats are located. The high-definition video and digital content will be broadcast on 700 HDTV's and approximately 100 concession menu boards throughout the venue. “Future versions will include real-time video viewing, the ability to order concessions from your seat and pick them up without standing in line, and more.”
