Brooklyn/Belmont Arena Discussion 2018-19

[Bood12]

Take this for what it's worth. I'm not making representations about its reliability, just interesting.

guessing they are waiting to see how the attendance and the revenue is at Nassau to see if it is worth it

and when are they going to start the construction on this building, I am afraid Isles are going to be in first place and they are going to have the typical 10,000 attendance at Nassau and Ledecky is going to say the deal is off because obviously the fans are not supporting them on Long Island or Brooklyn, he needs to build this 1 Billion dollar arena and than regret it in a few years after it is built

The revenue he collects from the other 324 days there are what he is banking on, not the Islander revenue

Lol Belmont is a sweetheart deal. There's no way NYI ownership back out.

Why do you keep skirting the fact that the arena is just 1 component of this project and the other components will generate revenue 365 days a year?

Yup. This is Malkin's project, not Ledecky's (he's just the local face), and the cash cow is the retail development not the Arena. There is zero chance that they back away.

18,000 seats according to the article below.

At a glance: The Belmont Park Arena Plan

I wonder if it's 18,000 for hockey or 18,000 as a total max capacity? The article mentions MSG as a 21,000 seat arena but for hockey it is 18,006

Hey, show some respect. He was first on the big Parker Milner signing. He even beat out Bobby Mac on that blockbuster.

Probably 18,000 max. We’ll never sell out if it’s 18,000 for just hockey.

 

[blood gin]

Probably 18,000 max. We’ll never sell out if it’s 18,000 for just hockey.

I think it will likely be between 16,000-16,500 for hockey

 

[Lame Lambert]

Even if we were a perennial contender I couldn’t see this team needing more than 16k seats

 

[PK Cronin]

Anything less than 17,000 seats for hockey would be a mistake. At least have the ability to add the seats in, and have them fit, if needed.

 

[gadiamon72]

Are there any diagrams of what the inside of this arena is designed to look like. Any ideas as to the philosophies? I am curious to see how or if they plan on doing their best to replicate the intimacy of the coliseum, but adding more capacity and luxury boxes. Hopefully they adopt the model of taking the best, most intimidating places to play in the NHL, and implementing them into the design (ala Detroit).

The spreadsheet I saw (I don't have it anymore) had it just under 17k for hockey.

This is all wrong. First of all, how hard could it be to get rid of a corner section to make room for the SUV? And I'm looking for the section that hangs over the goal line. Where is it? Not to mention the roof can't possibly be high enough.

Don't worry, the score board will be above the blue line.

I had the nagging feeling I was leaving something out. Something major.

Build it (a winner) and they will come.

This matches up with those sketches that were released a while back. Those also had less seats up high on one end of the arena. Brilliant actually: less seats behind the stage at concerts and less seats where the home team shoots once.
