New York Islanders Arena at Belmont Now Has a [ingloriously sponsored] Name

The New York Islanders’ arena under construction now has a sponsorship name: UBS announced today that it has reached a 20-year naming rights deal to call the state-of-the-art (that’s an obligatory modifier for all new arena) venue UBS Arena at Belmont Park.

Back in the day, when Nassau [gloriously unsponsored] was one of two remaining NHL venues without a corporate name, we had fun on this site trying to remember whether a given road venue the Islanders visited was a [bank of some sort] Garden, a [tire/consumer products of some sort] Center(re), or an [airline of some sort] Arena.
