New York Islanders Return To Nassau Coliseum Was Perfect

December 1, 2018, is a day fans of the New York Islanders won’t soon forget. Since the Islanders left for the Brooklyn borough, fans have vocally spoken out against the Barclays experience and petitioned for bringing the team back home to the Nassau Coliseum.

Those dreams came true last night and it was about as perfect as it could possibly be. Eyes on Isles arrived at the tailgate at 1:30 pm, still five and a half hours before puck drop and lot three was filled with grills, corn hole, and hundreds of Islanders fans partying.

Tailgating, or the lack thereof, was one of the biggest issues with the Barclays Center.
