 What's up? I'm Amy Kay Nelson of SB Nation. I'm Neil Abdel-Abdel with The Verge. We've got sports, tech, tech sports, and we're here this morning because this is the great unveiling of the Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets. They're saying it's the most high-tech stadium in sports. We're actually standing in front of a wild piece of technology. It's called the Oculus. It is a 360-degree LED sign. It's HD. They can show movies on it. They're going to have audio out here. Inside, there's even more high-tech stuff. There's free Wi-Fi, which is choice. And there's just all kinds of people and media here today. I think over 250 credentials issued. Mayor Bloomberg is inside, and we just kind of want to go check it out and, I don't know, cause some trouble. Yeah, see what we can get up to. All right. We are finally here to celebrate the grand opening of the Barclays Center Arena. Brooklyn has arrived as a center of exciting entertainment, thrilling big-time sports, and thriving commerce. Barclays Center Arena is so much more. Just a building. We are the most technologically advanced arena to date. We're standing in front of the Daktronics Center Hung, 6-millimeter True HD Center Hung. And then you can see all the other Daktronics ribbon boards. So we have almost 8,000 square feet of LED in here, as well as the sound system. You see the speaker rays and the lighting here. It's going to be like no other venue that you've ever seen before. Wow. So how fast is your Wi-Fi going to be? Is it better than the LT? Worse than the LT? We're up to two 1-gig circuits we're bringing in. Optum Light Pass is our sponsor. So we're bringing in two 1-gig circuits. It's active-active, and it has BGP failover, which means one of them drops, the other one picks up right away. Are there any other sort of interesting add-ons for a fan perspective, technology-wise, that you can talk about? So we're focusing on the Barclays Center app. We're going to be working with a company called Bypass Lane to order your food on the app, and then go and pick it up like EasyPass, when you go through and drive through the EasyPass. Free Wi-Fi, as many fans as possible on our Wi-Fi. Can you get that outside, too? Absolutely, you can get it outside. So are you going to be people camping outside using your Wi-Fi? Absolutely. It's like a Starbucks. I'm moving. More Starbucks. And we're not even filtering it. Feel free to go anywhere. Wow. People are going to come here, and they're going to sit outside and bit someone on your Wi-Fi. Yeah, but what I don't want them to do is... You're like, yes, I know. I'm one of those guys. No, I'm kidding. I don't know. So what's the coolest thing that you've seen so far as a player? Obviously the ocular right out there, the whole LED setup they have there. I think the lighting for the games will be very unique. This is my partner, Nilay, from The Verge. He's from our tech site. Is there anything we should ask him? What kind of phone do you have? What kind of phone? Samsung Galaxy S3. Wow. Are you an apps guy? What's your number one app? Yeah, I have awesome apps. Where's my water? Where's your water? What's that? You don't know where's my water? It's a game. We're in the video production room. Everything inside the venue, all the canvases, everything that lights up is controlled from this room up here. So I'm pretty sure if I hit this button right now that that center hung goes off. So this is the video production room. Logan is the director of facilities presentation here at the Barclays Center. He works on a lot of the content here, but he's responsible for everything inside this room. One question I got from Bruce Ratner, from my boss, was he walks over with his iPhone and he's like, where can I plug this in? He's like, do you have a place you can plug this in and have the music go everywhere? Yeah. Yes, we do. Really? There's an iPod dock for you? There's an iPod dock for the entire arena. Yeah. So what I do for the guys, I put call me maybe on repeat all the time and they love it. Until they get all their work done. What we're seeing here is actually, it's new to you. It's actually very new to me as well because it just showed up yesterday. This is amazing. We basically, this is our in-house lighting system. Does this make everything go faster? It looks like I could get beamed somewhere. Yeah. Can we press all the buttons? Can I just go like this right now? What would happen? Yeah. Press as many as you want. So exciting. No one else gets to do this. This is like a dream come true. I know. Because if anything happens. I love you so much. Because if anything happens, I run into a basketball game. You can control every LED in the entire bowl if you just press this button. Let's do it. I don't want to know when you're going to do it. That is awesome. That is the best thing I've ever seen. We are the most technologically advanced arena to date. One of a kind unique. Again, we work to build something unlike no other venue. We are the most technologically advanced arena to date.
