For Brooklynites, this will have a lot more to do with civic pride, than with economics. The potential negative economic impact may be less than in other parts of the country, because there is no need for transportation infrastructure improvement. If the accompanying parking lots are built in a way to blend in with the urban fabric (include retail space, so you don't have dead sidewalks), there is an outside shot that it could help other nearby institutions like the
Brooklyn Academy of Music.
I know that it will probably have a negative economic impact, but I prefer to be an optimist.
