The "yearlong project will result in a downsized arena of 13,000 seats and an adjacent entertainment center with up to seven restaurants, a movie theater, nightclub and retail." The arena will "feature major entertainment acts along with minor league hockey, college basketball, professional boxing, concerts and other family entertainment." The Nets also "plan to bring" their D-League team to the venue for the '17-18 season. Reps from WWE who attended the groundbreaking said that they also have "plans to bring shows to the Coliseum" (NEWSDAY, 11/6).
