UBS Arena: Westbound and Down (or something like that)

As luck would have it....we found that out....and he got heaps of signatures....about 15 I'd say.

thats awesome!! Hope you enjoyed the trip!!!!!

(and I say this completely genuine/no sarcasm) -- how was the trip? Did you enjoy the area/arena/game experience? Many times people come to NYC area and have completely different reactions to their expectations....

We stayed just around corner for five nights, not much to do in area TBH. Also stayed in Brooklyn. Went to six UBS games in all, two wins, Last one was start of streak. Shame they didn't win a couple more. The win over the Pens was the most enjoyable.
Getting to UBS from Brooklyn was a mission, thought it would be easier.
Venue is fantastic. All good seats....hall of fame night was great. The Shaq chicken burgers were excellent.
Met all the MSG guys at various times...so got to chat to Butch, Brendan and Shannon, as well as Hickey, Schneider and Cal.
Met some past players and had a chat to Bryan Trottier when he just came up to me before a game. Weird. Of all the people to pick, lol.
Even got to say hello to Art Staple. Great guy.
We used the park a lot...sat in igloos a few times.
All in all, a great experience, hopefully one day can do it again. Not likely, but you never know.
 
After going to numerous Isles games, concerts, wrestling, New Years Billy Joel, etc at UBS, it still boggles my mind that they built the Elmont LIRR station and didn't upgrade the Belmont Park station. Any quick look at google maps shows that there ARE tracks in both directions.

No need for a 15 minutes walk, shuttle busses, etc. Just get off the train and you're there.
