What it's known for
UBS Arena opened in 2021, giving the Islanders a modern home after years split between the old Nassau Coliseum and Barclays Center. Its brick exterior and steep seating bowl were designed to keep the crowd loud and close to the ice.
The Islanders won four straight Stanley Cups from 1980 to 1983, and those banners hang in the arena.
Getting there
The Long Island Rail Road’s Elmont–UBS Arena station serves the arena on event days. There’s also parking at the arena and the racetrack.
Tips for your visit
- Take the LIRR from Penn Station to avoid traffic.
- Islanders crowds are loud; expect chants all game.
- Combine with a game at Madison Square Garden or Barclays Center for a New York arena trip.
