UBS Arena: Lower the Roof

[PWJunior]

Anyone know what the hotel next door will be? We talkin Hilton, Marriott, or Best Western?

Holiday Inn Express? Everyone will suddenly get delusions of grandeur thinking they got substantially smarter...

And will still be $300/night

I imagine it will be a higher end hotel. Something that caters to the high end clientele they intend to draw to the shopping village.

Just a guess: Hyatt.

Hotel supposed to be ready for the arena opening?

 

[periferal]

@periferal you asked for it -

So impressed you remembered....They had to do this as the exterior isn't going to change that much from this point forward, but the inside is going to grow into a thing of beauty.

Between this and the news of L&M buying out the Wangs, periferal's 2020 is going out with a bang!

About time any of us got some good news. Dare it develops into legit hope for 2021...

No. Arena and LIRR station first then the shopping village and hotel.

IIRC the hotel is supposed to be built nearer to the Plainfield Avenue gate.

The hotel will most likely be an international brand, mid to higher end. Catering to international layovers at JFK. They should get strong contracts from the airlines too for employees.

I wish they still had the outside cam in addition to this one. I wanted to see the exterior completed, and that outdoor terrace

Ah, but there still is the exterior cam as well as now an indoor cam:

You can just click the buttons at the top to toggle between the two.

It's truly starting to feel real now . . .

Looking at the interior view, I am assuming that it just the camera angle and the fisheye lens they are using that makes it look this way, but where the stands will be at the N end of the rink looks to be not as deep as the S. That's not true though, is it? It's gonna be a symetrical bowl, right?

I did notice in renderings that there was less seating at one end of the rink than the other. The bowl is symmetrical, but the seats just don't go up as high at one end. It actually is pretty smart factoring in concerts (less behind stage seating) and I'm sure the Isles will shoot 2x at the end of the rink with more seats.

The Long Island Arena was an epic barn. From Frampton Comes Alive to Slapshot, to the Flea Market it holds some of Long Islands best history

and don't forget John Brophy and the LI Ducks.

The first professional hockey game I saw was in that barn and it was more of a "ice hockey game broke out during a fight" than the other way around.

Great memories!

Billy Joel is a Long Island LEGEND. He should absolutely be the first concert there - unless you want to bring Peppi marchello back from the dead and have the good rats play!

of course, Dream theater is available

The first Peppi Marchello reference I've heard in 10 years! Well done!

Ditto for me. I don't remember if it was chicken wire or glass at that time.

Passed by there the other day
