Anymore photos of the site? Think the islanders are better off on long island.

Barclays Center is in Brooklyn, which is on Long Island.

Thanks

my bad. but was saying the team should stay were they are just in a new building

I agree but right now they are in suburban hell, now they can be in the city instead of out in the strip malls and cookie cutter suburbs.

It just means they all look the same, or have no soul. Pretty much the same meaning when applied to stadiums

A wicked storm went through the city yesterday, including the construction site. Someone shot a video where parts of the fence were knocked down:

It's some nice renderings.

Will this arena hold an ice hockey rink? If it does, will it have to remove a lot of seats to fit the rink?

I was wondering that myself, I was assuming the Islanders were going to move here, but that's not settled yet. What I do read is that it will have a rink, but those renders look a lot like a basketball only arena. If it's one of those where one whole end of the lower bowl has to be retracted for hockey then it will never work for the Islanders.

Is this just speculation or has someone indicated that the Islanders are actually considering a move to Brooklyn of all places? They've always struck me as a suburban team for the outer Long Island folks.

Charles Wang (owner of the Islanders) is apparently having talks with Fred Wilpon (owner of the Mets) to move to Queens in a new arena beside Citi Field. This is a backup plan in case Wang's plans for getting a new arena in Uniondale fall apart.

I know it's just a render, but it's not terribly pretty inside is it?

It is easily the most disappointing seating bowl I have seen in a few years, especially after the really elegant, unique proposal from Gehry. At least they had SHOP architects redo the exterior, really poor effort from ellerbe Becket, even considering the takeover by Aecom.

Too bad brooklyn nets will stink up this beautiful arena.
