Message: [QUOTE="FDNY99, post: 2026248, member: 683"] Look I know what's going on...I get to read about it and follow it every day between the Daily News, Post and NYC local news. I also work with a few guys who have ties to Nassau County Government and the Town of Hempstead government. They are putting on a full court press...and the ownership group realizes there is a fan base for the team on LI. Their dream scenario is to build their own place by Citi Field. That was shot down by the soon to be indicted NYC Mayor. They are presently looking at land by Belmont race track...and Nassau County who OWNS the Coliseum is making a pitch to them. Dream all you want...the last I knew the CRDA can't even come to an agreement with Northland about buying the atrium at the XL Center never mind start the XL refurb. How in the hell do you expect the ownership of the Islanders to come racing over the Throgs Neck bridge and up 95/91 to a place that after you look past the lipstick they put on it is a dump not fit for a NHL team? This isn't happening...the NHL (i.e. the Islanders) isn't coming to Hartford...deal with it...it's reality. [/QUOTE]
