Which arena is nicer Madison Square Garden or Barclays Center?

Im coming to New York City in Nov, and want to catch an NBA team. I have ONE free night to attend the game but BOTH the knick and nets play on the same night.

So since I can only go to one game, which arena is nicer? Barclays Center or Madison Square Garden? I never been to either of the arenas (I will be going to a Rangers game earlier that week!)

But Im not a fan of either of the teams, I just want to see all the arenas and watch all the teams play at their home court.

I live in Brooklyn so I may be biased, but Barclays all the way. For one, it's new. Transportation is easily accessed at Atlantic Terminal, (literally cross the street!) Madison Square is old, and I am not a fan of the Penn Station transportation hub that it is connected too. I have seen sketchy characters there at night, I don't see those as much in Brooklyn, because there is only the subways and the LIRR.

Barclay's is so much newer, so I assume it's much nicer. Madison Square Garden is getting kind of old and tired.

Go to Barclay's since you will see MSG with the rangers.
