Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment Preparing Pitch To Bring Islanders Back To Coliseum

Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment is "preparing a pitch to bring the Islanders back to the recently renovated Nassau Coliseum," according to Baumbach & Brodsky of NEWSDAY. Long Island Association President & CEO Kevin Law said that BS&E will "offer to make further 'adjustments' to the Coliseum -- such as adding seats -- to address the Islanders' potential concerns." Baumbach & Brodsky note Law has "no direct role in the Islanders' fate," but is an "influential advocate and business leader who frequently consults" with New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Long Island-related matters. Law said that the presentation will be made to Islanders co-Owners Jon Ledecky and Scott Malkin when they "meet soon to talk about renegotiating the 25-year license agreement with Barclays Center." Both the Islanders and Barclays Center can "opt out of the deal." Sources said that both sides have 30 days "after the end of the Islanders season ... to trigger the start of a negotiating window, which lasts until the end of the year." However, sources said that "neither side has officially notified the other yet" (NEWSDAY, 4/13).
