Just a few weeks ago, the New York Islanders broke ground on their new home at Belmont Park. Since yesterday was alumni day for the Isles, the team decided to take the former players down to the job site.
With the arena opening up in 2021, the goal from Jon Ledecky and company is to make the arena as state of the art as possible. One of the things they plan to do is use virtual reality experiences and “smart” jerseys.
Now, what’s a smart jersey you might ask? Well, think of it as a jersey that could change names and numbers as you enter the building.
