After reading this article I’m ready for the move to UBS Arena right now.

This is such a good quote:
“It is critical there is that connection between fan and artist for them to come in and say it was the greatest experience I have ever seen,” Leiweke says. “We can convert into a hot, sweaty hall for music so they feel like they can reach out and touch that last row.”

That article got me pumped, cannot wait to get there next season. Ledecky and Malkin compliment each other so well and a godsend for this team. What they have managed to do in such a sort time is nothing short of amazing.

Can't wait for the blowback on this when parking ain't your walk from the college 'value': With the arena owners controlling the parking for 5,500 cars on site, the $140 million parking experience means fans aren’t wandering neighborhoods looking for a spot.
Pony up $15-30 per spot kids...

I like the lack of suites - very strategically done because the Isles just don't have the corporates to support that. Never will. So, they turned that space into 'clubs' and stuff where individuals will pay a premium to (a) be in there, or (b) what's in there.

It's probably going to be priced around the same based on 2 people attending via train or car.
It's $25 at the Coliseum for the regular season ($20 for advanced purchase). I'm thinking $35-40 for parking at UBS.
May as well Uber it there. I'm sure there will be promotions with a ride share service that will offer discounts.

That gives me an idea. Ride a horse to the game. Tie it up in the paddock area for free and it's a short walk to the arena. No one would suspect a thing.

This is my favorite part:
"The Islanders ... will now have the league’s first hockey-specific arena design, the owners say. With a ceiling height of just 93 feet—three feet higher than Nassau—coupled with an uninterrupted lower bowl as steep as modern codes allow, the entire 17,500-seat arena pushes every seat closer to the ice."

It was nice while it lasted. Tear that bitch down and start over.

Love that they concentrated on keeping the roof low and having it as intimate as the coliseum.
Maybe I can get John Velazquez to ride him in the last race of the day. Maybe he wins money and I can pay for the season tickets.
As long as you don't get Bob Baffert to train him!
He’s banned from NYRA as of yesterday so I can cross him off the list of trainers I could never afford.

I have a lot of fond memories going to the Coliseum with my family, especially my dad and brother. It's really disappointing I wasn't able to bring my daughter to the Coliseum this year because of COVID, it would've been once last memory for me there and her first hockey game. I can't wait to be able to create new memories and traditions with her at Belmont though. Hopefully they don't price me out.

The Shark Tank is 117 feet according to this, but that seems to be the exterior height. SAP Center at San Jose The Shark Tank reminds me of a modern mash up between Commack and NVMC. An excellent place to watch a game when the Sharks are good.
Wondering whether they (Isles) are citing the internal height or external height of the entire building...

Wow my younger daughter is nine months old and it didn’t even hit me until I just read your post that I’ll never be able to take her to a game at the Coliseum . I’m sure the Bridgeport islanders will eventually move there in the next 10 years LOLI have a lot of fond memories going to the Coliseum with my family, especially my dad and brother.

Yeah, I've been excited to get her to a game and I thought she was finally old enough this season but COVID made that nearly impossible (traveling, the requirements to get in, the lack of tickets, and a 3 year old wearing a mask for 3 hours just wasn't going to happen - plus, I want her first experience to be a great atmosphere). My good memories are almost entirely about how much I love the game, the Islanders, and mostly sharing experiences with the people I went with, not necessarily how good the teams were (because they've sucked pretty much my entire life). Hopefully Belmont provides the next generation of fans the opportunity to fall in love with the game the way I did, but with a little more winning mixed in there.
I still cannot get over how little seating there is above the lowest level, not sure I know of any other arena like that

I’m guessing they did that with sight lines in mind. Remember high up in the Coli you can’t see the scoreboard.
That’s just a guess. Also, could be financial strategy. More 100’s and 200’s seating is more money per ticket.
Bingo.
Look at most of the newer arenas today. They have lower bowls that have as much as 32 rows of seats paying lower bowl prices.
Same thing with new baseball stadiums. Majority of the seats are on the lower levels where the teams can charge the most money for tickets.
