The NBA's Nets have accepted a bid from developer Bruce Ratner, who plans to move the team to a new arena in Brooklyn. I'm usually against moving teams, but since the Nets franchise started in New York, this is a homecoming. (Bet Marbury wishes he could play for Brooklyn now. Is Jason Kidd down with Brooklyn?)
Attendance was also a factor in the move. As happened to the Charlotte Hornets three years ago, fans weren't filling the arena. The Nets had gone to the Finals two years straight, and the fans hadn't come out. By all reports, the Meadowlands is a trek to get to, with bad parking facilities, so a move had to be made.
