The Belmont Arena: Shovels and Lawsuits, a Long Island Tale

[Strummergas]

That spelling of Taylor makes me cringe.

But the spelling of "Auston" is ok with you?

 

[leeroggy]

Was reading through the Belmont arena fact page and they had me at...


Highest Restroom to Guest Ratio in NY


I don't even know what that means or how they measure it, but just make it true.

There's a well known correlation between this stat and winning championships. Just like the Super Bowl Indicator in investing. You really need to read more!

If you had to guess who that one player is looking in at the bar for a drink who would you choose? I say uncle Leo

Any player under the drinking age would be my guess

I hear he's taking over branding at Cracker Barrel restaurants. He's changing things up a bit there. It will soon be known as "Baril de Cracker" and will be serving only high-end French (Parisian) cuisine.

"Resumed criticism?"

Tammie and Floral Park... the two groups who filed.....have done so basically with no strings attached. The equivalent as if you fall in a store. He is dismissive, which he should.


Dude,

Belmont is closer to Little Neck then Willets.

It's happening


(Insert Ron Paul Gif)



Switch to the Seattle arena. Closer to you

Actually I just found out that from my aunt's place, Belmont is a 15 minute drive, but Citi Field is 21 minutes away according to Google map.

Someone should be nice and give Grandpa his teeth back.

 

[joekono]

Yeah...Pride that he set snow up for life despite being inept at his job.


*He also tried to set Kumar up for life, but in a different way.

Hahaha, yeah Kumar did get it good and keeping Snow was Wang having blind loyalty but I was just glad the Islanders stayed here, not Kansas City and I think Wang had something to do with it by sending them to Barclays(albeit an arena and a car lot all in one).

Questions About Future Of New York Islanders Follow Belmont Park Arena Groundbreaking

Earlier this week, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the Belmont Park arena that will serve as home ice for the New York Islanders. Later this month, Islanders ownership will continue the celebration by welcoming season ticket-holders to an event on the same grounds...

New York Arena Partners, the developers behind the project, is one stakeholder that seems clear on what that could mean and look like. The partnership brings together sports-related owners and operators—the Islanders, Sterling Equities, and Oak View Group—with interests that have the capacity for creating change by reshaping the retail, residential, and entertainment contours of this area just east of New York City:...

Of course, as goes with projects of this sort, there are individuals, groups, and municipalities cautioning about pitfalls that could result in too many negative impacts...

Taken together, the claims are contending that state-run entities Empire State Development and the Franchise Oversight Board, New York Arena Partners, the Hempstead Town supervisor, the Nassau County executive, and the Water Authority of Western Nassau have variously engaged in flawed environmental impact studies, disregarded traffic and homeland security issues, potentially compromised human and equine safety, advanced dubious plans for a new $105 million Long Island Rail Road station and shuttle service to the Belmont venue, and essentially placed publicly-owned property at Belmont in the hands of private developers...

Everything AND the kitchen sink!

If I had the money I’d be buying up houses over there like crazy. Guaranteed in 5 years those property values will increase nearly 50% if not more.

 

[The Lighthouse]

That piece basically ends up contending, that, well... The success of the project long term is not guaranteed. Why did it take so many words to do it?

 

[SI90]

Lmao

Lmao

Wasn’t that a statue outside of Central Park?
