A new home for a new era. Made for music, built for hockey. Boutique hospitality meets live entertainment. State-of-the-art UBS Arena at Belmont Park, developed in partnership with Oak View Group, the New York Islanders, and Sterling Project Development, is projected to open for the 2021-22 National Hockey League season and will host more than 150 major events annually. The $1.5 billion project and surrounding redevelopment will generate approximately $25 billion in economic activity, including major infrastructure improvements, 10,000 construction jobs, and 3,000 permanent jobs, 30% of which will be set aside for local residents. UBS Arena is set within the legendary Belmont Park, where history has been made since 1905. It has a timeless design, inspired by classic New York. The exterior reflects influences from historic arenas and stadiums like Stanford White’s Madison Square Garden II and Ebbets Field. The interiors pay homage to celebrated venues like Sardi’s, Bemelmans Bar at the Carlyle Hotel, and the King Cole Bar at the St. Regis Hotel. We invite you to discover the energy of history being made at UBS Arena. Learn more at www.ubsarena.com.
