Wednesday was quite a day for a couple of New York sports venues. One originally opened in 1972 and is undergoing a massive transformation. The other opened for business in 2009 but will have some new features this year.
My day started with a media tour of the Nassau Coliseum renovations.
Despite rumors that nothing has been going on, it’s clear that the Coliseum is well on its way to being transformed into a beautiful new arena that will host hundreds of events each year.
“When this is completed, it will be one of the great structures in this country in terms of the way it looks inside and outside,” said Bruce Ratner, executive chairman of Forest City Ratner Companies.
