Overall Assessment Courtesy of The New York TimesĪs a whole, UBS Arena is everything fans could have hoped for from an arena. The only difference is it’s easier to walk around the line with the more spacious concourse area. Also, the infamous long bathroom lines are still very much an issue at the stadium. Depending on the lot you park in, getting out could be a bit of lengthy hassle much like it was after a game at the coliseum. The parking lots aren’t much fun either, especially with the cheaper Emerald lot located away from the arena location.
If you’re taking the trip to this arena and plan on driving, leave as early as possible. For one, the traffic when driving in is absolute madness. There’s not much to complain about with this arena, but there are a few flaws. Speaking of technological upgrades, the arena has an on-ice projection capability similar to the one at T-Mobile Arena. According to Daktronics, the scoreboard at UBS Arena is four times larger than the one at Nassau Coliseum and is the largest, highest resolution scoreboard in the state (and yes, it is at center ice). The scoreboard at Nassau Coliseum wasn’t that big, and the scoreboard at Barclays Center was hilariously off centered.

The team store at this arena is one of the nicer ones as well, although the line to get in opening weekend was painfully long. There are also eight bars located around the arena, some of which offer a view of the ice. There’s a wide array of concessions for fans, a lot of which offer grab and go options which helps move lines faster. UBS Arena offers more space in the concourse area and has two floors compared to the coliseum’s one. One of the worst parts of the Nassau Coliseum was the tight space in the concourse area. Within the arena itself there’s a wall dedicated to several Islanders meetup groups, right above the infamous blue and orange army in section 329. Just ahead is a wall listing the names of the inaugural season ticket holders and a mural dedicated to the Islanders fanbase. It features 15 plaques dedicated to the 15 legendary Islanders enshrined in the franchise hall of fame. The lower concourse specifically has several homages to the history and fanbase. The interior design of the arena really emphasizes how much the fans were taken into account.
But now, UBS Arena has brought this location back by giving them a stand up bar in the arena. The tavern was forced to close its doors in 2020 due to complications from the pandemic. In addition, the stadium includes The Offside Tavern, a city bar that was a very popular gathering spot for the Islanders fanbase. Owner Donald Rosner also got to collaborate with Shaquille O’Neal’s fried chicken brand for a signature sandwich aptly titled “The Islander”. Blue Line Deli and Bagels, a local Islanders themed deli, was given their very own spot in this stadium. A large part of this is exemplified in the stadium’s concession options. With the exception of what is sure to be the most ignored sign in state history enforcing no honking and no tailgating rules, this project was made with the Islanders fan base in mind. With the arena now officially ready for action, here’s a look inside UBS Arena.
YOUTUBE ETERNAL ARENA PATCH
Although the Islanders recently hit a rough patch with their quality of play and injuries, the opening of this arena has created a ton of excitement for the fanbase. The team played their first two games in the brand new UBS Arena in Belmont, Long Island over the weekend.
