Islanders reveal new name and renderings for the team’s Long Island arena

By Jonathan Hilburg • July 28, 2020

Along with the naming news comes new interior renderings, which the development team (Oak View Group, the New York Islanders, and Sterling Project Development) have revealed will be based on “New York City landmarks” (despite the team being located outside of NYC). Those include “Grand Central Terminal, Prospect Park Boathouse and the Park Avenue Armory,” according to the UBS press release, and the accompanying renderings bear that out, up and to and including an arrival hall with a constellation mural on the ceiling akin to the one found in Grand Central.

The project is expected to generate 10,000 construction jobs, 3,000 permanent jobs, and up to $25 billion in associated economic activity over the 20 years of UBS’s leasing agreement.

Ah yes, Western Nassau. Can't tell you how many times someone's mentioned that area and the first things that came to mind were “Grand Central Terminal, Prospect Park Boathouse and the Park Avenue Armory.”

I feel the guy that had to mop the downstairs floors and booths at bogarts was probably wishing he was cleaning peep show booths at the time.

Listening to a STH zoom call with Ledecky, both Gillies, and Flatley.. .. some interesting comments by Ledecky on the arena,, 1.5 billon cost

Sync'ed with Amazon Go -- grab and go food..
Pour your own beer,
Kept roof low to keep in the noise,
"scoreboard to end all scoreboards"
5G technology
parking which allows park at Belmont in AM, work in NYC, come back for game
Fabulous for music/concerts (easy in and out access for setup of shows), and the best info yet..
8 bars where you can see ice

"More bathrooms than any arena in North America" LOL.. excellent!!!

and here is a pic of the most important part!
