Patch Poll: Brooklyn Has Barclays Center Pride

Patch poll finds arena tops Yankee Stadium in popularity.

Last week, Rolling Stone magazine rated the Barclays Center as a better venue than Yankee Stadium, giving credit to the brand new arena for the buzz it has garnered over its first year.

So we decided to ask you, is Barclays really better? In a poll posted on the site Monday afternoon, we asked readers in Brooklyn whether Rolling Stone really had it right. 

The answer came back a resounding yes on Tuesday afternoon, as you can see in the results posted above. 

More than 62 percent of those polled said the Barclays Center is a better venue than the new Yankee Stadium, with just under 19 percent saying the House That Steinbrenner Built got robbed.

Another 19 percent said neither venue was any good. Maybe we should have included Citi Field and Madison Square Garden on the list?
