Barclays Center scores: City says arena generated $14 million in tax revenues in its first year

The Barclays Center has generated an estimated $14 million in tax revenues in its first year, city officials told the Daily News, providing the first tally of the $1 billion arena's contribution to the city's coffers.


The estimates, which come from the New York City Economic Development Corp., are based on data provided by Barclays Center developer Forest City Ratner.


Overall, the direct output from the 18,200 seat arena, which just celebrated its first year anniversary and in its first year became the country's No.1 concert venue, has been $145 million, the city told the News.


That number reflects spending done by visitors - non-New York City residents - both inside and outside the Barclays Center, on things like ticket sales, merchandise, concession purchases, restaurants and transportation.


These are dollars that would not been flowed into the local economy had the arena not been in operation, city officials said.


When other factors are taken into account, such as indirect business generated by the arena, the full economic activity spawned by the Barclays Center in its first year was $251 million, the city said.


The $14 million in tax revenues includes sales tax associated with purchases inside and outside the sports and entertainment complex, as well as income tax generated by Barclays Center employees and the Brooklyn Nets.


Forest City Ratner executive chairman Bruce Ratner called the numbers confirmation that the city and state's investment in the Barclays Center was money well spent.


A total of $305 million in public subsidies have been committed to Atlantic Yards, Forest City's $4.9 billion Brooklyn project, anchored by the Barclays Center.


"This just proves that the arena is a very strong economic engine for the city and the state," Ratner told the Daily News.


Likewise, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who provided critical support for the Atlantic Yards project, touted the first-year numbers.


"In just its first year, the Barclays Center is already proving to be a major win for New York City and its economy," Bloomberg told the News. "Tens of thousands of New Yorkers, as well as visitors from across the globe, have visited Brooklyn to experience this world-class venue, leading to a significant economic impact, additional tax revenue, and critical jobs for local residents."


The city declined to say whether the numbers met its projections.


A 2009 study by the city's Independent Budget Office estimated that New York would lose $40 million over 30 years on its investment. The study looked only at the Barclays Center, not at the overall project.


A 2010 study conducted by the city projected that the project would generate $411 million over 30 years.


In spite of the arena's strides, critics say it has yet to generate enough jobs to justify the public subsidies it has received. And some local businesses near the arena say they have yet to see a much expected increase in revenues.

Sean Hayes Jumps Off Of David Letterman's Balcony On 'Late Show' (VIDEO)





sean hayes jumps off letterman balcony
CBS






With the premiere of his new series this Thursday, Sean Hayes dropped by "Late Show" ... literally. He entered the show by running down the stairs up on the balcony level. When he reached the edge of the balcony, he simply leaped over it. It was a ridiculous and over-the-top entrance, which seems somehow appropriate for Hayes.


"I think maybe you blew a guy’s hat off," David Letterman pointed out. They then watched a slow motion shot of Hayes jumping onto a stunt mattress. Indeed, a crew member's hat flew off from the impact.


Hayes was on hand in promotion of "Sean Saves the World," which premieres on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET on NBC. He plays a single dad who comes out late in life as a gay man. NBC is pairing it with "The Michael J. Fox Show," creating an hour of nostalgia power.


Variety's Brian Lowry isn't sure about this new show, though. "Game as [Hayes] is ... the show is a tired litany of setups and rim-shots, with Hayes as a single parent grappling with the demands of working for an eccentric boss and raising a 14-year-old daughter," he wrote. "If the actor helped break ground on ‘Will & Grace,’ all he saves here is the TV-given right to roll out retreads.”


Catch Sean Hayes' return to television on "Sean Saves the World," Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on NBC. "Late Show with David Letterman" airs weeknights at 11:35 p.m. ET on CBS.

Vince Gilligan Details The Worst Thing Walter White Ever Did On 'Breaking Bad' (VIDEO)





vince gilligan worst thing walter white ever did video
Comedy Central






Vince Gilligan dropped by "The Colbert Report" to talk about the ending of his show, "Breaking Bad." The series creator was asked what was the worst thing Walter White had ever done. Despite Walt having amassed quite a list of nasty deeds, Gilligan had no problem pinpointing the worst ... and it was one of his more recent acts.


“It was the moment Walt said to Jesse, with apparent glee, ‘I watched Jane die. She choked to death and I could've saved her, and I didn’t.’" Gilligan said. "I think that was about the most sadistic nasty thing that he did.


Gilligan said that that moment was even worse than watching Jesse's girlfriend Jane die in the first place, "because in that moment he watched her die, there’s a lot of conflicting emotions going on in his face.”


“He was not purely sadistic very often," Gilligain said, but with those words to Jesse, he was. As for the ending of the series, Gilligan said that Walt had to die. It was established in the series pilot that he wasn't going to make it. But at least he went out on top -- in a way. The series finale of "Breaking Bad" was the highest-rated episode yet, with more than 10 million viewers tuning in.


"The Colbert Report" airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30 p.m. ET on Comedy Central.

'Dancing With The Stars': Surprise Frontrunner Emerges Despite Injury, Robbery (VIDEO)





dancing with the stars frontrunner injury robbery
ABC






There have been quite a few injuries early this season on "Dancing With the Stars," but injury was only one of the problems actor Brant Daugherty had to deal with this week. The "Pretty Little Liars" star had sprained his foot and had to wear a boot, which impeded rehearsals. On top of that, after last week's episode, Brant was robbed at gunpoint. The thief took his bag, which had Brant's dance shoes in it.


Despite everything he'd gone through in the past week, Brant still managed to pull out a stellar performance. And he did it in one of the most challenging styles: the quickstep. In fact, Brant earned 27 points, which was the highest score of the night.


He got Buddy TV's John Kubicek in his corner. "For once these two aren't relying purely on sex appeal," he said of Brant and his professional partner Peta Murgatroyd. "Brant has a pleasant charisma as well. Who knew he could be more than just eye candy? The judges are all won over just as I am, even moreso because he was hurt ... The top tier of talent this season is getting crowded.


Entertainment Weekly's Annie Barrett was hoping the thief was watching. "What would really have been great is if the thief ... had seen tonight's quickstep, thought, ‘I was wrong. This guy needs the proper footwear to continue on in Week 4,’ and sheepishly darted through the ballroom to drop off the Latin shoes he'd stolen from Brant," she wrote. "But maybe he thought he'd get picked up by the Lift Police on his way past the judges' table.”


While that seems pretty unlikely, what does seem likely is that Brant Daugherty is going to stick around for awhile on "Dancing With the Stars." The competition is on every Monday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

'Castle': Is Washington A Good Fit For Beckett? (VIDEO)





castle is washington good fit for beckett
ABC






Fans of "Castle" have been wondering how this storyline, with Beckett finally working her dream job in Washington DC, was going to play out? How could she possibly stay there without irrevocably changing the show? Well, it may just be that DC isn't as good a fit for her as she'd hoped. Viewers got their first hint of this when she found out that the Secretary of Defense was hiding information to protect himself.


“There’s going to be an investigation at least, right?" Beckett asked


“You want everything to be black or white. I get it," McCord told her. "But in this town, it rarely is. And to do this job, you have to make peace with that.”


Can she make peace with all the gray areas of crime and politics? TV Fanatic's Christine Orlando doesn't think she can survive in that world for long. Over at Buddy TV, Morgan Glennon is hoping this will mark a return to New York in the coming weeks. "Adding together Beckett's strong quest for the truth and the strain long distance will put on her relationship with Castle, I don't think it will be long until the show returns her back to share desk space with Ryan and Esposito.”


For now, Beckett remains in DC on "Castle," Monday nights at 10 p.m. ET on ABC.

'We Are Men' Premiere: With A Cast This Great, How Is This Show So Boring? (VIDEO)





we are men premiere men are boring
CBS






After the explosion of premiere week, there are a few stragglers among the new shows that have yet to premiere. The first of this hit on Monday night with the series premiere of "We Are Men." The new bro-medy the cushy post-"HIMYM" spot on CBS's schedule.


It's about a group of recently divorced men who are regrouping while living at the same apartment complex. Among them are Jerry O'Connell, Tony Shalhoub and Kal Penn. In fact, the least recognizable member of the foursome is also the newest. Chris Smith plays Carter Thomas, who's just moved in after his fiancee left him standing at the altar.


In the premiere, Carter wound up reconnecting with her -- she didn't stick with the wedding crasher either -- but the guys crashed his second attempt to marry her and forced him to think about what he was doing. After all, she was pushing him to give up his dreams of being a basketball coach.


“I need to know that you love me for me, and not some guy you want me to be," he told her. Rather than answer, though, his fiancee said that his new "idiot" friends had brainswashed him. And so this time, it was Carter who left her standing there.


The critical consensus of the new series seems to be that it sits somewhere between dull and offensive. E! Online's Tierney Bricker summed it up by saying, "They are men, we are bored." Over at IGN, Matt Fowler agreed, describing "We Are Men" as "a hodge-podge of mediocrity designed to go down like a chewy children's vitamin - with, of course, the underlying message that women are all soul-sucking demons designed to prevent men from having any fun.”


USA Today's Robert Bianco pointed out the strength of the cast, making it all the more disappointing that the show doesn't live up to them. "The shame here is that three of TV's more personable men — Tony Shalhoub, Jerry O'Connell and Kal Penn — are being wasted by this misbegotten series," he wrote. "There are women in this world, but ... they are all either bodies to be admired or shrews to be avoided. Really: If these are men and those are women, one shudders for the survival of the race.”


They'll still be men next week on "We Are Men," Mondays at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS. Will you still be watching?

'The Voice': Kaley Cuoco's Sister, Briana, Tries To Turn A Chair (VIDEO)





the voice kaley cuoco sister briana
NBC






So just what was Kaley Cuoco doing on "The Voice"? Don't worry, the "Big Bang Theory" star wasn't looking to kickstart a second career path. She was in the holding room being a supportive family member. It was Kaley who convinced her sister, 24-year-old Briana, to audition. Briana had been working as Kaley's assistant, but her older sister convinced her to pursue her own dreams.


It's hard to say who was more excited when first Christina Aguilera, and then Ceelo Green pushed their buttons for her. Briana's beaming big sister was in tears backstage, jumping up and down in joy. In the end, Briana's journey will continue as a member of Team Christina.


But Buddy TV's Esther Gim had a mixed response to Briana's voice. "The music is overpowering her somewhat soft voice, but then she hits the bigger notes, and it's like the power came out of nowhere," she wrote. "Kaley's cute backstage during the performance as she's happy/crying for her sister ... It's funny that no one recognizes her last name, but I suppose it could've been edited out.”


Zap2It's Billy Nilles can't wait to see what's next for Briana. He said that it can't be easy being the younger sister to a star on TV's biggest comedy, but making a name for herself on "The Voice" should at least make it a little easier.


The journey continues on "The Voice," Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on NBC.

  • "Ironside"


    In the gritty world of the NYPD, no one’s tougher than Det. Robert Ironside (Blair Underwood, “The Event,” “In Treatment”). He’s a fearless cop who won’t stop until the guilty are brought to justice. He and his trusted, handpicked team of specialists — Virgil (Pablo Schreiber, “The Wire” “Lights Out”), Holly (Spencer Grammer, “Greek,” “As the World Turns”) and Teddy (Neal Bledsoe, “Smash,” “Ugly Betty”), as well as his former partner Gary (Brent Sexton, “The Killing”) and boss, Det. Ed Rollins (Kenneth Choi, “Sons of Anarchy”) — will do whatever it takes to solve New York’s most difficult and notorious crimes. As a detective, Ironside’s instincts are second to none, and those around him have to stay on their toes if they want to keep up because when his spine was shattered by a bullet two years ago, Ironside swore he’d never let a wheelchair slow him down.

  • "The Michael J. Fox Show"


    Look who’s making the news again. One of New York’s most beloved news anchors, Mike Henry (Michael J. Fox, “Spin City,” “Family Ties”), put his career on hold to spend more time with his family and focus on his health after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. But five years later, with the kids busy growing up and Mike growing restless, it just might be time for him to get back to work. Having never wanted Mike to leave in the first place, his old boss Harris Green (Wendell Pierce, “The Wire,” “Treme”) jumped at the chance to get him back on TV. The trick, as it’s always been, was to make Mike think it was his idea. Now the plan is in motion and Mike will be back to juggling home, family, and career — just like the old days, but only better.

  • "Sean Saves the Word"


    Sean (Sean P. Hayes, “Will & Grace”) is a divorced gay dad who juggles a lot — his successful but demanding career, offbeat employees, pushy mom Lorna (Linda Lavin, “Alice”) and weekends with his teenage daughter, Ellie (Sami Isler). So when she moves in full-time, it’s a whole new world. Never one to do anything halfway, Sean’s intent on being the best dad ever, so he loads up on parenting how-to books and plans Pinterest-worthy family dinners. But it seems his company’s new owner has decided Sean and his team should work longer hours, putting a damper on his homemaking plans and throwing a kink in Sean’s perfectly constructed work/life balance. Ellie sees this development as a plus. She loves her dad, but he’s clearly going overboard. From keeping his boss happy, employees motivated and enduring his mother’s tactless “advice” to raising a smart, grounded and healthy kid, it’s going to be a growing experience, to say the least. But if anyone can handle it all, it’s Sean. Thomas Lennon (“Reno 911”), Lindsay Sloane (“Weeds”) and Echo Kellum (“Ben and Kate”) also star.

  • "The Blacklist"


    For decades, ex-government agent Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader, “The Office,” “Boston Legal”) has been one of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as “The Concierge of Crime.” Now, he’s mysteriously surrendered to the FBI with an explosive offer: He will help catch a long-thought-dead terrorist, Ranko Zamani, under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth “Liz” Keen (Megan Boone, “Law & Order: Los Angeles”), an FBI profiler fresh out of Quantico. For Liz, it’s going to be one hell of a first day on the job. What follows is a twisting series of events as the race to stop a terrorist begins. What are Red’s true intentions? Why has he chosen Liz, a woman with whom he seemingly has no connection? Does Liz have secrets of her own? Zamani is only the first of many on a list that Red has compiled over the years: a “blacklist” of politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists. He will help catch them all… with the caveat that Liz continues to work as his partner. Red will teach Liz to think like a criminal and “see the bigger picture”… whether she wants to or not. “The Blacklist” also stars are Diego Klattenhoff (“Homeland”), Harry Lennix (“Man of Steel”), Ryan Eggold (“90210”) and Ilfenesh Hadera (“Da Brick”).

At first, Danny’s advice seems to pay off big-time: The shy guy talks to a girl, the no-filter dude learns it’s never OK to ask a woman when she’s due, and his nebbish roommate, Justin, goes home with a mystery woman. It’s not until the next day that they figure out it was Leslie. Here’s a refreshing comedy about the “do’s,” “don’ts” and “duhs” of dating.




  • "Crisis"


    It’s field trip day for the students of Ballard High School, a place that educates the children of Washington, D.C.’s elite, top-of-their-industry CEOs, international diplomats, political power players and even the president’s son. But when their bus is ambushed on a secluded rural road, the teenagers and their chaperones are taken, igniting a national crisis. Now with some of the country’s most powerful parents at the mercy of one vengeful mastermind, the question arises: How far would you go and what would you become to ensure your child’s safe return? With so many parents and dignitaries put into play with nowhere to turn and no one to trust, this unthinkable scenario grows from the select families at risk to an entire nation at stake.




  • "Believe"


    Levitation, telekinesis, the ability to control nature and even predict the future… Since she was 2 years old, Bo (Johnny Sequoyah) has had gifts she could neither fully understand, nor control. Raised by a small group known as the “True Believers,” the orphaned girl has been safeguarded from harmful outsiders who would use her forces for personal gain. But now that she is 10, her powers have become stronger and the threat has grown more dangerous. With her life and future now in jeopardy, the “Believers” turn to the only person they see fit to be her full-time protector. That is, once they break him out of jail. Tate (Jake McLaughlin), a wrongfully imprisoned death row inmate who’s lost his will, is initially reluctant until he witnesses one of her extraordinary abilities. Bo sees people for who they truly are… and who they may become. Tate and Bo begin their journey, one in which trust must be earned. Traveling from city to city, every place they stop and everyone they meet will be changed forever. But they’ll have to keep going to stay one step ahead of the sinister forces after Bo’s power… because it will take a miracle to keep them safe forever. “Believe” also stars Delroy Lindo and Kyle MacLachlan.




  • "The Family Guide"


    It’s not every family that’s brought closer together by divorce, but then again, the Fishers aren’t exactly typical. Take Mel Fisher (J.K. Simmons, “The Closer,” “Law & Order”), for example. Whether it’s chopping down trees, showing his daughter how to drive or playing football with his son, he’s never let the fact that he’s blind slow him down. Then there’s Joyce Fisher (Parker Posey, “Louie,” “For Your Consideration”), possibly the only mom in Pasadena to smoke a pipe. For her, divorce is like a second coming of age, a chance to be the teen she never was. Just ask ‘80s-obsessed teenage daughter Katie (Ava Deluca-Verley, “Southland”), whose clothes Joyce is always borrowing. At the center of all this is Henry (Eli Baker), the Fisher’s 11-year old son. Having always been his dad’s eyes, ears and wingman, Henry’s less than thrilled when Mel shows up with Elvis, a guide dog… which is also how Henry learns about the pending divorce. While reluctant to the changes this dog would bring, it’s through the adult Henry’s voice-over (Jason Bateman, “Arrested Development”) that we find out his parent’s split would “allow all of us to finally discover who we needed to be.”




  • "About A Boy"


    Based on the best-selling Nick Hornby (“High Fidelity,” “An Education”) novel, writer Jason Katims (“Friday Night Lights,” “Parenthood”) and director Jon Favreau (“Iron Man,” “Revolution”) present a different kind of coming-of-age story. Will Freeman (David Walton, “Bent,” “Perfect Couples”) lives a charmed existence as the ultimate man-child. After writing a hit song, he was granted a life of free time, free love and freedom from financial woes. He’s single, unemployed and loving it. So imagine his surprise when Fiona (Minnie Driver, “Good Will Hunting,” “Barney’s Version”), a needy single mom and her oddly charming 11-year-old son, Marcus (Benjamin Stockham, “1600 Penn”), move in next door and disrupt his perfect world. When Marcus begins dropping by his home unannounced, Will’s not so sure about being a kid’s new best friend, until, of course, Will discovers that women find single dads irresistible. That changes everything and a deal is struck: Marcus will pretend to be Will’s son and, in return, Marcus is allowed to chill at Will’s house. Before he realizes it, Will starts to enjoy the visits and even finds himself looking out for the kid. In fact, this newfound friendship may very well teach him a thing or two that he never imagined possible — about himself and caring for others.




  • "Chicago PD"


    District 21 of the Chicago Police Department is made up of two distinctly different groups: The uniformed cops who patrol the beat and deal with street crimes, and the intelligence unit, the team that combats the city’s major offenses, such as organized crime, drug trafficking and high-profile murders. Leading the intelligence team is Sgt. Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), a man not against skirting the law in the pursuit of justice. Demanding and tough, only those who can take the heat survive under Voight’s command. Take Det. Antonio Dawson (Jon Seda), for example. Despite a troubled history with his boss, Dawson has ambitions of running the unit. If that means facing off against Voight every day, he’ll persevere. From the street cops with dreams of moving up to the elite crew who are already in, “life on the job” is a daily challenge.




  • "The Night Shift"


    Welcome to the night shift, where every day is a fight between the heroic efforts of saving lives and the hard truths of running a hospital. At San Antonio Memorial, the men and women who work the wee hours are a special breed, particularly adrenaline junkie T.C. Callahan (Eoin Macken, “Merlin”). After a grueling tour of duty in the Middle East, T.C. is about to learn that his toughest battles will be fought right at home. He and his irreverent team of late-night docs, including Topher (Ken Leung, “Lost”) and Drew (Brendan Fehr, “Roswell”), know how to let off steam with the casual prank or two, but when lives are at stake they are all business. Unfortunately, the night shift is now under new management and boss Michael Ragosa (Freddy Rodriguez, “Six Feet Under”) is more interested in cutting costs than helping people. But T.C. has never met a rule he couldn’t break, or a person he won’t stand up to. And it’s clear that not even his ex-girlfriend (Jill Flint, “The Good Wife”) who is a doctor and now Ragosa’s second in charge, has a chance at keeping him in line. If Ragosa wants a war, he’ll get one.
