NEW YORK -- Islanders owner Jon Ledecky said the team will play at Barclays Center through the end of next season, and the "singular focus" beyond that is for a new arena at Belmont Park.
"We are locked and loaded on Belmont," Ledecky said Tuesday at a luncheon with Islanders beat writers. "We have the blinders on for Belmont. We're not looking at other places, other things, other opportunities. We want to make Belmont a reality."
The Islanders submitted a bid last month with several other partners, including owners of the New York Mets and Madison Square Garden, to develop a new arena at Belmont Racetrack in Nassau County.
