UBS Arena: Lower the Roof

See the progress on Isles' UBS Arena at Belmont Park construction

Love the brick on the outside, makes it look retro.

A seat in Section 301, Row 2 is officially mine, YAY!

You selling tickets ? I kid, I kid, I’ll be here all week.

Funny story. Back in the old days, 1978 I believe, my buddy, who’s a Bruins fan, he asked me to go with him on one of those Ranger’s Booster club day trips up to the Boston Garden for a Bruins/Ranger’s game. My dad came with us. We take a bus from MSG to Boston Garden, quite a schlep right ? 5 hours. We get there, park the bus, some knucklehead peeks his head into the bus, and says “anyone selling tickets ?” Yeah we schlepped all the way from NYC to sell our tickets, what a schmuck.

If anyone is interested in a 1/4 share at a Belmont for the first season, please let me know.

Haven't picked out tix yet, but thinking its gunna be (for each 1/4) 10/11 games and $75 per seat per game -- we are planning on two seats per game

Pandemic Creates New Considerations for Arena Construction

Tim Leiweke could hardly contain his enthusiasm while he gestured toward what will be center ice at the Islanders’ future home at Belmont Park.

Leiweke, the chief executive of the venue development firm Oak View Group and a partner with the Islanders for UBS Arena, was discussing the team’s run to the conference finals increasing fan support for a project that broke ground last September and will be ready to host games in about a year.

Ticket demand is strong, with about half of premium club seats and the arena’s 56 suites selling in the past three months, he said...

Once games return to home markets and spectators stream back into arenas, fans at Belmont Park will experience many new features, including cashless concession transactions to limit contact and help lines move along faster...

The Belmont project was on hold for two months after New York put restrictions in place to slow the spread of coronavirus in mid-March, when it struck with ferocity. UBS Arena is expected to be completed in time for the 2021-22 season...

Ed Bosco, the managing principal at ME Engineers, has the task of studying and implementing airborne virus reduction solutions at UBS Arena.

Bosco also explained that active virus particles in the air can be reduced by ventilation, filtration, local dilution and exposing the virus to ultraviolet radiation...

“At UBS the systems will be newly calibrated and heavily tested during construction so we can be more certain about the data we collect and the building’s responses to tests we are running.”

Also involved in the UBS project is Matt Goodrich, whose eponymous firm is responsible for layouts and designs of corporate suites and public space inside and outside of the arena. One option that will be present in the arena will be touchless features in the bathrooms...

Belmont’s architecture will feature archways and brickwork reminiscent of the Brooklyn Dodgers’ Ebbets Field...'

Touchless bathrooms. Are they installing bidets?

Dude, you go when you've got to go.

As someone who almost died and spent a month in the hospital along with many months of building back up physically from the ordeal... there was absolutely nothing better than when I finally took a good quality shit. I cried tears of joy when I finally got that "I feel 10 pounds lighter" shit out that completely cleansed my system. Appreciate the good things in life.

Touchless bidets at UBS would be a wet dream for me!

I'll see if Mr Ledecky can dedicate one to you.

Pun intended?

 

[sabremike]

His involvement in every major event for this team is ridiculous. It's not like he's at games any other time. End the madness.

Give us Taking Back Sunday or we riot!!!

You almost died from not shitting?

 

[PWJunior]

You almost died from not shitting?

Aortic dissection due to hypertension (cigarettes are evil) followed by pneumonia. Spent about a month straight in the hospital and then took me a while to recover. It was probably 6 months until I finally took a really good shit and it was damn glorious when I did. It was like Woody Harrelson getting his Twinkie at the end of Zombieland.

 

[Uncle Duke]

Alright then, moving along (pun intended), anybody got any good aerial shots taken recently? Been awhile.

Whoa. Good to hear you're better now!

 

[PWJunior]

Thanks. This all happened about 6 years ago so I'm good now. Although I did spend a week in the hospital due to pneumonia back in February right when all the COVID madness was just starting out.

Not sure if I have either, but my ex and I had some quality time in the Men's bathroom at a Met's game during a rain delay.

A slight one on an amusement park ride

Maybe he can change his screen name from Quickdraw to Quickdroppem. I will guess the remainder of each day listed above left you , let me say, a bare naked lady for the rest of the evening .
