Barclays Center & Relocation Part VI : Belmont announcement likely this week.

[patnyrnyg]

Actually it is BMD who will be replaced. I had an (almost) civil twitter convo with him a few months ago before he blocked me. He said he would drop his season tickets if the team left Brooklyn.

Anyone know if he has commented on Twitter? I won't go on Twitter at work as I follow a few people who regularly post things that could be deemed inappropriate to be viewing on a work computer.

can someone post the link to the live press conference feed at 11am when available?

 

[Roo Returns]

Rangers fan here coming in peace. Congratulations on the new arena. What are all your expectations for this arena in terms of commute, amenities, and just cool features and food?

Also because we're all hockey fans; figured you'd appreciate this. The happiest person yesterday was not any Islanders fan but the agents of James Neal, Evander Kane, and James Van Riemsdyk. #UFAClassof18

How can we not love a guy who uses "Negative Nancys" in a post. Very Frank Burns of you.

You’re dating yourself.

You’re dating yourself.

All married guys do.

Anywhere else? I can't access that in Florida since I am a Dish and Comcast user.

I live in Queens and a Verizon customer. I wish I could see this PC too.

 

[MatthewBarnabysTears]

Not the Islanders job or concern to make sure the Coliseum can still get acts.

Totally agree. It's Nassau County's fault for horrible planning.

Once new arena is up and running -- just wrecking ball the NVMC and make it into a Super Duper Stop N Shop. The locals will love it.

 

[BrockLobster]

Can someone please tell me who BMD is?

Nah, knock it down, leave it as concrete with weeds coming through and rename it The Park That Kate Built . . .

Or if you want to use it usefully, just divide the land between Hofstra and Nassau Community and let them expand

The huge "told ya so" moment of the 8/1/11 referendum is slowly sinking in for Nassau Pols and Nassau Residents

 

[IslandersFan17]

Def could use a link to watch the press conference. Living down here in NC, I won't be able to watch it on TV

Boomer's opening on his show was brutal. Negative Nancy:

-Arena won't be built for years;
-Isles should have just gone back to Nassau;
-Isles should play at Nassau for next 3 years;
-Isles should trade JT if they are in "6-8th" position at the deadline. He loves LI/NYI, but arena won't be built for years. He won't want to stay here unless they move back to Nassau

I *******HATE HIM

It was Wang’s incompetence. I never once thought his cockamamie scams were going to come to fruition.

I’m very confident if Ledecky/Malkin bought the team 10 years ago, and wanted to build at the Coliseum site, they’d have their plans approved within months. I never had any doubts Belmont would be a success, these guys seem to know what they’re doing.

 

[periferal]

Anyone know how we can watch this online (without a News 12 account)?

My bad, I can't watch it either...

What he doesn't realize is that the language in the out-clause has the Isles playing at Barclays next season no matter what. After that, well that's all up to what they are able to negotiate.

Negative Norman (his real name) should have just won that Super Bowl against the 49ers too.

Sinking in? Doubtful. They don't want any positive change/growth anywhere within a 30 minutes drive of their homes.

And when things get worse due to a lack of progress, they will just complain more.

Did he promise?!

 

[Quickdraw2828]

I should be fired up about today's announcement, but last night's disaster has me in a bad place.

It's also amazing to me that he thinks that the Islanders "should have just gone back to Nassau." If he meant a return to the Coliseum for anything other than a temporary stint, he's insane. Have seen enough cap floor teams, and no thank you.
