Second...the amenities. I have gone to games and stood in line for the restroom for 20 minutes, and I have young kids who sometimes have to go in a hurry. The restrooms and food vendor facilities are horrendous. I also have no idea what the amenities are like for the players down below, but I imagine it is not top of the line.

Third..and Finally...the proceeds. Unlike other teams and arenas, the Islanders Organization gets little to none of the proceeds from sales of food and parking. I dont know the exact details, but the lease the Organization signed is killing the team, as millions of dollors in profits is lost to the leasing company.
Yeah i forgot the company that runs the concessions, its like smg or msg, some kinda abbreviation like that. I remember cause that like 90 year old lady working at the coffee concession right by the doors

Brandon is a father of two an was doing what was best for his family, the Columbus Blue Jackets have NO problems with him coming back to the Islanders Camp, but three teams decided they didn't feel it was right, hopefully in the next few days the names of the teams that said No are released to the public....... It is very good that the NHL is Black Balling a guy who never did anthing wrong but want to provide a better life for his family..... Garth Snow wanted him in New York to stand up for the Younger guys an protect your future stars, know it is our turn to try an Help Sugden, Time to Email the NHLPA.com an tell them how you feel about the situation, if the get enough Emails on the situation Maybe they will stand up for him, witch Benefits all Islanders fans.....


The LNAH is Not a professional league remember that........
this is absolute garbage! is there a link to email? i'd love to have sugden on the island. i want the three teams named who said no go. probably the devs, rags and pens. if i had to guess.

Saw it, and to be honest, all they did was stitch together a bunch of clips from Islanders TV. Thats about it. It was nice to see hockey on the television though.
