NYC sporting venues have finally seen a turn for the best, with the Yankees and Mets both getting new stadiums; as well as the largest renovation ever for the roach and rat infested Madison Square Garden. One of the worst arena’s in the city is still Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Long Island, which is surprisingly standing on its own.
The 40-year-old-arena has been tenant to the New York Islanders NHL team since its opening, and are scheduled to join the Nets in Barclays Center for the 2015 season. Thursday, Jay and a corporate group attended a meeting to brief the media on four proposals for renovating the arena and surrounding properties.
While the details remain sketchy for what exactly is the plan (purpose) for renovating the arena; we’re glad for the people in Strong Island getting a new look arena.
