Firm makes offer to have Islanders play in Coliseum this coming season

Tim Leiweke has a long-term vision for NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum which includes the Islanders remaining in their ancestral barn for one more season before moving to UBS Arena at Belmont Park.

The Oak View Group CEO said his arena development company has made a financial offer to see that vision through, adding New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo has encouraged his firm “to be a part of the solution here.”

Which has Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky confident a deal will be struck for the Coliseum to open its doors for NHL hockey during the 2020-21 season.
