That's alot of seats is that bad????

It's no a lot when you consider the 19 million population.

Greater L.A. also has a lot of stadiums and arenas

Dodger Stadium
Angel Stadium
Rose Bowl
Coliseum
The Forum
Honda Center
Home Depot Center
Staples Center
Sports Arena
Galen Center
Pauly Pavilion
Long Beach Arena

I expect Izod to be gone once the demand dries up.

Metlife wont get that many concerts since most of them are done in smaller arenas,

Plus its NYC, theres a big demand, enough events to satisfy all 3, since Nassau will be gone once the Islanders leave.

I don't expect the Izod Center to be going anywhere (though I wish it would). There's still a large demand to hold concerts/events there. Especially when that stupid mall opens up. The arena has yet to be renovated, though. And since it already has its name on the entire sports complex, MetLife might as well buy the naming rights to the arena and rename it "MetLife Arena".

MetLife Stadium will still host large-scale concerts, especially when Bruce goes on tour.

I agree that the Nassau Coliseum will be demolished once the Islanders leave. No sense in keeping it around.

With the Islanders gone, the Coliseum would be a poor place to hold concerts/events. No one wants to drive all the way out to Nassau County to attend a concert.

On the other hand, Izod is only a 15-minute drive from Manhattan.

How far is Barclays? 10?

krnboy1009 · June 30th, 2012, 07:52 PM

About 10 min or even less by Subway. Barclay is in a terrific location, very close to Manhattan.

Yea, all they have to do is just build a main stadium somewhere. Which will be a difficult task though.

eMKay · July 4th, 2012, 10:57 PM

They would have had 2012 if the idiot politicians would have OK'ed the Manhattan stadium.

gugi182 · July 5th, 2012, 01:43 AM

Metlife in New Jersey is going to host WRESTLEMANIA 29 also

I hear the U.S.A is going to bid on the 2024 olympics or the 2026 winter games correct me if i'm wrong.

krnboy1009 · July 5th, 2012, 01:52 AM

Deron William re-signed, Nets are gonna be more competitive with Joe Johnson too.

Good sign for BROOKLYN Nets.

bad decision from D Will. Nets are 2nd worst ran after the Bobcats in the NBA.

krnboy1009 · July 7th, 2012, 09:07 PM

They used to be, I think they are in a much better hands under Billy King.

If gospel's your thing then Barclay's is putting on a ton of shows in the next couple of years. It's a good third of what they have booked concert-wise.

krnboy1009 · July 19th, 2012, 12:35 AM

Its NYC, there will always be plenty of events to go around for all 3 arenas (MSG, Barclay, Prudential) in the area. IZod will be gone within the next decade.

What makes you think that?

And could you say the same about the Nassau Coliseum?
