The New York Islanders of the National Hockey League (NHL) welcomed fans to the new UBS Arena in November 2021. The multipurpose venue is the home base for the Islanders, and it will also host music and entertainment events throughout the year. Located in Nassau County, N.Y., the arena is part of a larger redevelopment program that involves converting 43 acres of land around the Belmont Park racetrack into a premier sports and hospitality destination. After playing home games at Nassau Coliseum for half a century, the Islanders now have the opportunity to play in an arena built specifically for hockey. The new, 745,000 ft~2 multipurpose venue has a seating capacity of 17,255 fans for hockey and 18,500 attendees for other events. A 23,000 ft~2 NHL locker room and player campus is also part of the arena. The interior spaces on the event level include dressing areas and lounges for performing artists, spaces for the home and visiting hockey teams, and a green room. |
