Newsday: UBS arena will have 55 suites

From Newsday, 10/23/20, New renderings of UBS Arena luxury spaces released by Islanders:

UBS Arena, slated to hold 17,113 for Islanders games, will have 55 suites, which is significantly fewer than most recent arenas. Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, for example, the most recently built in the metropolitan area, has 101 suites.

Instead, the Islanders and their arena partners — arena development company Oak View Group and outgoing Mets chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon — focused their premium experience around the arena’s 1,995 club seats.

They'd been cagy about the number of suites, last month saying about 50.

Newsday's Randi Marshall, in a 10/9/20 column Inside the Islanders' new Belmont Arena, wrote:

Taking shape inside the arena’s frame are concourses that are double the size of Nassau Coliseum’s, 25,000 square feet of space just for the Islanders’ locker rooms, 56 suites and eight additional club spaces. 

...Will the investment pay off? [Tim] Leiweke said that so far, more than half of the arena’s suites and club seats have been sold. And the Islanders, he said, are close to securing 10,000 season ticket holders for the Belmont arena.
