The_Admiral Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Maybe the Islanders could use Brooklyn as a stopgap between the Nassau Coliseum and a new arena in Nassau or Suffolk (someone on HFtards uncharacteristically has a great proposal for a Deer Park location). I don't think Barclays, 14,000-seater that it is, is a long-term solution. However, a location that isn't Long Island isn't a very good solution either. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 It's really a whole confluence of forces that led Brooklyn and the Nets to build something less than a full-service hockey/basketball facility. I think they had to go through three redesigns to get it approved. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnivore Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 The Nets suck for building the arena how they did in the first place. They suck for moving, but if they're going to build a damn arena in NYC, not making it multipurpose seems ridiculous and shortsighted.But that's RATner for you.

The_Admiral Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 If nothing else (they'd obviously remain the New York Islanders), cleaning up the word "Islanders" with what appears to be Agency is actually a nice use of Agency.Another concept to consider would be including Manhattan, Randall's, and Staten Islands in a bid for pan-New York acceptance.
