UBS Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena located in Elmont, New York, just outside New York City limits. Opened in 2021, it is the home of the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League (NHL), who previously played at the Nassau Coliseum and Barclays Center. The arena officially seats 17,250 people for ice hockey games and up to 19,000 for concerts and other select events. Fans and sports writers have affectionately nicknamed the arena "The Stable", due to the arena being located at Belmont Park, a famous thoroughbred racing venue.
