On September 28, the New York Islanders hosted an event at Belmont Park. Along with state leadership like New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, the Islanders officially broke ground on their new home at Belmont Park.
It was an incredible event for Islanders fans who want nothing more than for their team to have a permanent hockey first home on Long Island. Fans got that after a group led by the New York Islanders winning a request for proposals (RFP) from the state’s development agency Empire State Development.
The plan calls for a retail, dining, and entertainment village, a hotel, and 10,000 sq ft of office space and parking and of course a 19,000-seat arena for the New York Islanders.
