NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It will be an odd arrangement, but it’s a safe bet the vast majority of fans will absolutely love it.
According to a report in Newsday, the Islanders have reached an agreement with Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment to play 12 home games at refurbished Nassau Coliseum next season, and at least half of their home games in Uniondale in every subsequent season until construction of the NHL team’s new arena at Belmont Park is completed.
That will likely mean a lot of hockey at the “old barn,” considering the Islanders’ new building is not scheduled to be ready until the start of the 2021-22 season.
