It might actually be more beneficial if they tried to move the Nets into the renovated Coliseum. Atlantic Yards looks as good as dead in Brooklyn.

I would love to see a brand new spanking arena be built next to Citi Field. On the other hand I would love to see the Lighthouse Project get underway this summer.

Long Island seems pretty apathetic to whole situation. Maybe Wang can get together w/the nets & move the team to Brooklyn. Long Island seems pretty apathetic to whole situation.

I hope whatever they plan to do, they do it ASAP! The Islanders are the only NHL team that play in a brick S**T house, it's a horrible arena and it's a shame.

I'm one of the people on the board of the Lighthouse advocacy group, and I was getting nervous about the radio silence from all I've contacted within the Lighthouse. Do we have any more information about when the TOH plans public comments on the project? Also, given the pre-approval of the Coliseum renovation, is there any chance the Coliseum could start next summer with only the framework for a larger deal in place? I know Dave Denenberg of the Nassau Legislature told me he expected the environmental review to last until June of 09 at the earliest, and that could seriously jeopardize the timeframe. Thanks in advance for any insight. Chris, it’s good to hear about the Lighthouse.
