It’s a new year for the Brooklyn Brigade and as Mike Scotto of The Athletic chronicles, it’s likely to be a turning point for the hardy band of rowdy (and very patient) Nets fans in Section 114 at Barclays Center.
The Nets as an organization have gone out of their way to ensure the section is full, providing ticket packages and even free tickets to the most loyal of the fans and renaming the section “The Block: Homeu200b ofu200bu200b the Brooklyn Brigade.”
It’s not that the organization hasn’t supported the group before. There were Brigade caps and other gear and receptions in Mikhail Prokhorov’s suites, background conversations with Sean Marks, Trajan Langdon and Brett Yormark, among others, the most recent earlier this month at the HSS Training Center.
