this may be off topic but I could not find a better home...
cheapest tickets on Ticketmaster for first game back in Nassau is 130 bucks, I would rather go to Barclays at that price...

The way things are going, by January, you may very well be able to take that $130 and have Brett Yormark's suite at Barclays.

I get the thought, but I'd be surprised. Sure, Brett wants to free the building for other events, but I think the owners still want to keep Barclays in the mix to get a piece of that suite revenue. However, since we don't know the details of the temp contract for the next few years, perhaps BSE met the Islanders half-way and is "sweetening the pot" for them to be at the Coliseum for three years, so that the building doesn't stay empty?

Yeah, for that season, Coliseum full-time wouldn't surprise me. Have to add that if you told me last year that they'd be playing 20 games at the Coliseum this season, I'd tell you to get the heck out of here.
Yormark will almost definitely be at the first few Coliseum games, and it will be part of a push to pressure ownership into playing there full time ASAP.

Well you just connected the dots as to why the prices are so expensive...To try and make up as much revenue that the same game at Barclay's would have generated.
That said, go to Stubhub. Prices are less there.
Has there been a timeframe announced for putting a shovel in the ground in Belmont? Not that I'm a skeptic or nuthin' but I'd feel a lot better about this whole deal if they actually started work.

They're re-doing the dirt parking lot? What are they putting down? New dirt?

Lamoriello excited about Isles’ future home at Belmont
By Andrew Gross[email protected] @AGrossNewsdayJuly 9, 2018 12:44 PM
Like the rest of the organization he now runs, Lou Lamoriello is excited about the plan for the Islanders playing home games at a modern arena at Belmont Park.
“It’s certainly big for the fans and the organization and for the future of the organization when you have ownership in Scott Malkin committed,” the Islanders president and general manager told Newsday in a telephone interview on Monday. “We know it’s going to come about. I’ve had the opportunity to see the plans. It’s something exciting. It’s a state-of-the-art facility. The players should also be excited. But that’s a little bit away. We have to focus on how we play now.”
The proposed arena at Belmont Park still must receive the necessary environmental approvals and, even if everything stays on its expected timetable, is not supposed to open until the 2021-22 NHL season... The Islanders will play 20 home games at their former full-time home in Uniondale this season, up from the 12 originally planned...

What are the parameters? Does Lou have to be totally out of the picture? Or do you mean strictly as the GM? I fore one think Lou will be one of the staples to that places opening festivities.

I'll go double or nothing that Lou won't be around for the Ronkonkoma puck drop.

I'll do you one better. Lou won't be around to see the Islanders make the playoffs.
Have you guys NOT been paying attention for the past 30 years?
Do you really think that LL, Trotz and Barzal are going to stay around?
Remember how excited everyone was when JT was drafted and we had new owners.. and everything was looking better?

Are you saying Lou, who is currently 76 years old, is going to leave for greener pastures in 4 years?
How bored are you at work today?
