Is that a new development? I thought the suite level addition was why they had to eliminate ~3000 seats.Suite level.....interesting......

Wait they are putting suites in? I thought they were taking them out.
Are there any studies out there pointing to the economic impact of the Isles leaving?
Team management and owners should be ashamed that they won their first series in 23 years in BK instead of Nassau.
It's the sort of stuff that makes you go "hmm.."
While I don't blame Wang for everything, it's a crying shame that he just offloaded the team using Plan Z and raked in the dollars on last season and this season. Great payoff for him and a good way to give it to the NC politicians (Mod Edit). But, this was really more of him cutting off the nose to spite the face sort of play.
Hopefully, the renovation efforts are a little more thought out than Charles' last stand.
Hey, when does the team move back again? Any ETA on that?
Seriously? He owned the team for 15 years and tried to get a deal done in Nassau during every single one of them. How long would YOU have waited; not as a fan, as a business owner. I think it's somewhat fitting that finally getting over the first round hump coincides with the team getting out of Nassau. Not that this team couldn't do it at the Coliseum, or that Brooklyn had anything to do with it, but it does seem symbolic to me. So many new beginnings.
And by all accounts, the renovation efforts are pretty well thought out; for life without the Islanders.
Dude, new suite level at the Coli!

Wang cannot be happy with Bridgeport's very poor attendance for two weekend home playoff games the fans knew would happen. I'm not sure he wants a lame duck year in Bridgeport and has to supply a professional hockey league team there but it's time to get an Islander affiliate team into the Coliseum whether it be AHL or ECHL.
He has two practice rinks and two facilities so no issue bringing in a team.
I would go to so many Bridgeport games if they moved here.
I never understood why their AHL team plays in CT. Sure, it's cool, but regardless, they belong in LI.
