NY Islanders hockey team gets arena deal
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The New York Islanders hockey team and Nassau County on Thursday said they had a deal to modernize the arena where the team plays as part of $3.8 billion project that includes a hotel, offices and a convention center.
"Unlike almost every sports arena deal across the country, the county is not paying any taxpayer money to build the new facility," Democratic County Executive Tom Suozzi said in statement.
