Earlier this year, Laurie Jacoby was named EVP and Chief Entertainment Officer of Brooklyn’s Barclays Center where starting March 1 she will oversee programming and marketing, including the booking of concerts. No stranger to the highly competitive New York market, Jacoby worked for 22 years for the market leader, Madison Square Garden, where despite the building’s massive volume of events, still managed to win three Pollstar Venue Executive of the Year awards. Here, she discusses the new gig, the ultimate 1970s concert, what having a championship team does to a venue and, of course, seeing “The Beard.”

Last Saturday, a video of construction workers demolishing the first floor of a building on Banda Street, reducing the closed Club Mojo’s to rubble, went viral.
