They don't have a new arena because Nassau is dilapidated

They don't have functioning water pipes

Even though Nassau is dilapidated, they did get their new arena.:

It's right on the Nassau County/ NYC border, and part of the Belmont Park complex. I have been there for hockey games and concerts. It's pretty nice, but I still have a warm place in my heart for the old barn.

I meant I hope they have a new arena because Nassau was a safety hazard 20 years ago

Unless you are ok with indoor rain

Yeah. I'm contrary. I like indoor rain. They have fixed it up. It looks good. I still can't believe a pro NHL team played there while all the other fancy arenas were opening. If you're interested in government dysfunction, Nassau is a fun place to look into. The Colosseum concession lease basically hamstrung the Islanders franchise for most of its history.
