Brooklyn Nets Cheerleaders- Soon!
Bruce Ratner, New Jersey Nets Chairman and principle owner, has confirmed the Nets will be moving to Brooklyn- dismissing any rumors that the original project was dead.
Renowned architect, Frank Gehry, was reportedly quoted this week as saying “I don’t think it’s going to happen.” In regards to the building of a stadium at the proposed Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn.
“Frank Gehry is a friend, a great architect and someone I have huge respect for,” Ratner said in a statement. “It is understandable how he and others have concerns about this project happening in the worst economic environment since the Great Depression.
“But that said, we’ve prevailed in 22 judicial decisions and are ready to proceed even at a time when other projects and industries have faltered,” he added. “Atlantic Yards will get built, and there has never been a time when this project was more important to the people of the state and City of New York and the Borough of Brooklyn.”
