• Some other guy from *NSYNC
• The Barclay Center

Yes, you read that right: The Barclay Center.

What the arena lost with failed promises of Frank Gehry and jobs for Brooklynites, it shall now gain with the help of the Disney Institute (feel free to read sarcasm there). Apparently, the company built on the back of a black mouse is going to help that shit show of an arena provide the best possible experience for all of its customers. As reported by Carroll Gardens Patch, Barclay Center CEO Brett Yormark announced last Monday that the Barclay Center would partner with the Disney Institute:

Anybody who has visited Walt Disney World recognizes that Disney delivers the preeminent customer experience and that’s what we plan to bring to our guests at Barclays Center.

Nets Senior VP of Communications Barry Baum adds,

'Our goal is to bring the best entertainment value to our customers,' said Nets senior vice president of communications Barry Baum. 'Disney Institute is clearly the best in the game at that.'

Of course that means absolutely nothing to any of us, and only raises more questions. Our fearless Managing Editor asks: 

Does that mean every ticket taker will wear some giant mascot costume? And will they get fired for removing the head in public? 

The answer is 'no.' According to CC Patch, Disney is just being used for staff training and consulting on guest flow, presentation of uniforms and other stupid shit like that. There won't even be any identifiable Disney logos in the arena.

So you can all just get the dream of a Flatbush Avenue Space Mountain right out of your pretty little heads.
