Islanders are in the starting gate for arena at Belmont Park

Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky said no backup scenario exists to their Belmont Park arena proposal, adding that he and his partners are “ready to go and all in.”

“We have no Plan B,” he said, “and we haven’t even thought about one.”

For Islanders fans all too familiar with the franchise’s past botched arena attempts, that may seem like a questionable strategy. But Ledecky stressed in a wide-ranging interview this week that fans should not let the past arena hiccups cloud their view of the road to Belmont.

“The past is the past, and we’re all about the future,” Ledecky said.
