Where the Islanders will play home games is once again in question after the operator of NYCB Live's Nassau Coliseum said Tuesday it was giving up control of the facility.
The surprising announcement by Mikhail Prokhorov’s Onexim Sports & Entertainment comes a little more than three months after Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo came to the Coliseum and announced the Islanders would play all of the team's home games in Uniondale in the 2020-21 season.
The team needs a place to play next season while it awaits the construction of a new arena at Belmont Park. That arena remains on schedule to open in October 2021 despite construction being shut down for two months during the pandemic.
