Frank Gehry unveiled revised plans for the Nets' new arena complex on Thursday afternoon.

The new proposal keeps the 18,000 seat sports arena, but reduces the maximum size of the Atlantic Yards project by more than 400,000 square feet, down to under 8.7 million feet.

"We've spent an enormous amount of time studying Brooklyn, trying to get a sense of what is Brooklyn and what is special about it," Gehry said at a news conference Thursday.
