The Islanders are moving to Brooklyn and the Long Island hockey fans will “Bring the roar to Brooklyn”. Barclays Center, now home to the Islanders, will pay homage to the Islanders tradition and promote the team with great respect for the loyal Islanders fans. The team’s logo and colors will not change. The big four STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONSHIP banners and six retired jerseys will sway with pride from the rafters. Your favorite announcer Roger Luce, from Nassau Coliseum will continue tradition as announcer at Barclays Center. The great Islanders legends Mike Bossy, Butch Goring, Clark Gilles and Bobby Nystrom will serve as chosen ambassadors to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and will be making guest appearances. The current super-fan group – Blue and Orange Army will relocate and lead the chants from section 229. The venue has some magnificent features. The Islanders glass seats offer the best sightlines of any other arena in the NHL. The seats on the glass are positioned three feet higher than average front row seats, and make you feel you are on top of the action. Suites at Barclays Center are the closest to the ice of any NHL team in the New York market. General season tickets for the Islanders inaugural 2015-16 season at Barclays Center went on sale in February. You can purchase season tickets by calling 844-33-Isles or by going online at www.barclayscenter.com/ny-islanders. Half season plans will soon go on sale. The West End Club offers premium seats at ice level behind the west end goal. It’s just steps away from the Calvin Klein Club and Calvin Klein VIP entrance. Plans are being made with the Long Island Railroad to feature prioritized service to specific branches for Islanders fans after hockey games. “Bring Your Roar to Brooklyn” and watch the Islanders take it all the way. |
