My High School was Elmont. Spent all of my youth in that area. Any questions related to travelling feel free to ask me. Have tons of ways to get there.

Late to the party. My 2 cents. Been an Isle’s fan since 1975, and this is one of top 10 moments in my Isle’s fandom. This is such a great day. Great new owners, great new arena. I finally feel like the Isles are no longer bush league. This is how to run a franchise. So happy.
My favorite Isle’s moments
1) Potvin’s Cups- 4 in a row, 19 playoff series wins in a row
2) I know it’s part of #1, but the feeling when Nystrom’s shot went in, to win Cup #1
3) Isles Draft Tavares. I knew this was an important moment in Isle’s history
4) Wang sells to Ledecky and Malkin
5) Belmont, couldn’t be happier !
6) Isles Draft LaFontaine, loved Patty, one of my all time favorite Isles and one of my favorite draft picks.
3, 4 & 5 happened when I was in my late 40’s early 50’s, 3 great moments after waiting a LONG time for good (great !) stuff to happen.

I am really excited but...
Is being selected the only hurdle?
Does this mean they can build right away?
Are there environmental studies or any other procedures that have to happen?
The lighthouse project won the RFP but that was only the first step. Is the fact that this state owned property make it that different?

The comments on the Newsday article if you guys want some more salty uniformed replies.
It’s like people slept through the Lighthouse ordeal. A light rail through Garden City was suggested hahaha

Wondering if Barclays would have worked if they had stayed with the original design which included hockey. With the obstructed view seats capacity was not that much more than the Coliseum. The saving grace for the Belmont site is the LIRR station (although it needs significant upgrades to be a full time station). Cross Island Parkway would be beyond maxed out at rush hour if not for LIRR option.

I'm not sure - I'm not familiar with that area of the law. I'd have to look into it more before even hazarding a guess. I can only guess that if the procedural step that the PCA is alleging was not completed is dispositive, the state would've done it.

The trick to get home is to find the inside roads. Cross island will be death. Get to elmont road and head to the southern state which is 2 miles away. And if elmont road is backed up, take inside roads out of there. My mechanic is on elmont road, so I know back ways out.

Not sure if this means anything regarding broadcasting but the Hofstra vs. Villanova game this Friday will be on Fox Sports 1 from the Coliseum. Guess that means that TV is possible if they want to make it work.
In any case, GREAT news that made me post after a long time of lurking.

Fine with me and probably most of the players, if not all of them.
Yormark is SCUM. They deserve the lowly NETS in their world class building.

I take the CIP 2x a day. It can't get any worse. It's soul crushing on a daily basis

I hate Yormark and BSE more than anything else. The guy is such a f***.

Yeah, what he said. You can definitely take the back roads to the SSP, where you'll also enjoy the benefit of entrance ramps.
I would like to add you can also skip the northbound Cross Island altogether by taking Springfield Blvd to the GCP.

The only guy quoted in this article:
http://libn.com/2017/12/19/elmont-residents-plan-lawsuit-to-stop-belmont-arena/
was Aubrey Phillips, the VP of the civic association. It doesn't say he is an attorney. Was some other attorney quoted? As the other poster mentioned, I find it hard to believe NYS just forgot a required step in the process. Aubrey might just be blowing smoke.

That Brooklyn politician's tweet is kinda silly, but I guess there's not much to say when your borough loses a pro sports team because Brooklyn's $1 billion arena was done on the cheap.
