After bouncing around between different home arenas for the last half-decade, the Islanders finally are getting a home of their own.
UBS Arena at Belmont Park is set to become the Islanders’ new permanent home beginning Nov. 20, 2021.
The move will come after several seasons of the Isles not having one true home arena. The team left Nassau Coliseum, its home since 1972, and moved into Barclays Center for the 2015-16 season, but soon split their home games between there and the Coliseum.
Here are more facts and figures about UBS Arena.
Capacity
UBS Arena is expected to have a capacity of 17,00 for hockey games and 18,500 for concerts.
