UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Legislators from both Nassau and Suffolk said love for the Islanders crosses both party and county lines.
Nassau County’s Kevan Abrahams said they’ve been hearing it loud and clear from their constituents; ‘bring the Islanders back to the Coliseum.’
“They can go up to Belmont, they can go anywhere, but this will always be home,” he said.
As 1010 WINS’ Sonia Rincon reported, the newly renovated Coliseum would need a massive retrofitting, just to get enough seats.
“If the Islanders commit to a substantial number of games here at the Coliseum, anything that needs to be done to bring this facility into NHL compliance will be done,” Kevin Law said.
