Hey, remember that story about the Islanders talking to the owners of the Mets about possibly building an arena at Willets Point in Queens? The one that broke a little more than 24 hours ago? I posted a huge thing about it today.
Well, a new contender has entered the field with Newsday reporting that Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin have also talked with the New York Racing Association about building an arena at Belmont Park in Elmont, Long Island.
The New York Islanders are in discussions with state officials about building a new hockey arena at Belmont Park in Elmont, a move that would bring the team back to Nassau after they left to play in Brooklyn last year, according to sources familiar with the negotiations.
