The company that will operate the Islanders’ new arena at Belmont Park has expressed interest to Nassau County officials in potentially running NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum, according to sources familiar with the situation.
The arena development company Oak View Group is willing to run the Coliseum either on a short-term or long-term basis in an effort to help Nassau as it determines the future of the 14,500-seat, county-owned arena, sources said.
