Earlier today they were bringing rebar in to the hole nearest the camera. Raining out at the time. One guy walked across the bars laid out from grade to top of form work and then stood on the form work for a bit. I’m no OSHA inspector, but pretty sure that’s a nono!

What made it fun and what will make it fun again?

Perhaps this board only works when bad things are happening. When Belmont "might not happen," there was much to discuss and debate.

Now that it is happening perhaps fans don't know how to deal with good things and have nothing to say.

True statement.

Now is the time to bask in the sunlight. To revel in the fact that we are getting our own hockey-specific arena and will never have to hear from anybody except Steve55 about the future of this team on Long Island.

I think I'm gonna head over to Belmont later and make snow angels in the excavated dirt.

Now, I just enter this thread looking for photos of the construction progress/renderings of the arena

The less news, the better. Means work is quietly ongoing.

I expect the next flurry of activity will be when lawsuits are (hopefully) thrown out. Then we just watch the progress on the earthcam.

If you guys want entertainment, you can always go on the NY court system website and laugh at how bad the Tammi & friends lawyer is. Their arguments now consists of “it must be a park! Here’s a picture welcoming you to Belmont Park,” “the tree is old. Really old,” “Laura Curran wore an Islander jersey!!!” and “Eleanor Roosevelt once was at Belmont!”

I’m not joking

When you get a chance could you link that? I could use the laughs.

Wow they are really swinging at ghosts here. Some of this stuff is a real hoot.

Exhibit A has been resolved and National Grid has lifted it's moratorium on supplying gas.

Exhibit C, E... was Belmont Park EVER public parkland? Seems to me it was private property deeded to the State of New York over 100 years ago. Does the parkland for parkland rule even apply here?

Exhibit I, that tree is in the paddock and is NOT GOING TO BE TOUCHED. Everyone knows that iconic tree is over 140 years old and is even part of Belmont Park's logo.

Exhibit J, "Oh My God Laura Curran likes the Islanders, the decks are stacked against us!!!"

I'll get to the rest later but off the top of my head I'd say the Belmont Community Coalition's case is in deep doo doo. I hope their attorney is working for free because I wonder how much money they have to keep paying him.

People pretending like they know what they are talking about.

Course, those same people are still posting in the GDT, so I guess I'm good!

I’m sure @Steve55 can stir up some trash blog article about why the arena won’t be built

To this day I still don't understand what Steve55's goal is.

To this day I still don't understand what Steve55's goal is.

To have the team play within the borders of NYC because the Long Island fanbase alone isn’t enough to support the franchise. As if playing 8 miles west of Belmont would make that much of a difference.

He must think having a Zip code from within the 5 boroughs is some kind of a magic bullet.

Why yes it is.

That would depend on how courts rule on the lawsuits from Elmont and Floral Park.

I provide updates for Belmont Park Arena whenever possible.

Given the shitshow I've seen and heard from Nassau Coliseum in the last 25 years, I am not sure if regional Long Island fanbase alone is enough for the Isles, especially with the Coliseum attendance this fall.

Actually the Brooklyn move proved that Isles can't be too far away from regional Long Island. Hopefully the attendance in Coliseum improves this month.

If you lean on the shitshow of the last 25 years of Nassau Coliseum without telling the entire story of how the parade of convict owner, incompetent GMs, and politicians looking for handouts can kill a fanbase then you are being disingenuous.

I find it outrageous that the biggest hawk for a NYC address is a guy who lives in Vancouver, has never been to NYC and never been to a game at Nassau Coliseum.

You can’t get your opinions from what you see on tv and NYI Fan Central. You have to live it. Nobody here can take your opinions seriously.

you must be googling “negative Belmont arena articles” when you look for updates then, since that’s is almost literally all you post on the subject
