Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum
Nicholas Hirshon
Succeeding an air force base on the Hempstead Plains, Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum debuted in 1972 as Long Island's foremost sports and entertainment mecca. Its first tenants were a mediocre basketball team and expansion hockey club. Both appeared unlikely to foster a winning attitude, yet soon emerged as champions. Julius "Dr. J." Erving dunked the New York Nets to two titles, and the Islanders launched a star-studded Stanley Cup dynasty. Over the decades, the coliseum has also hosted presidents, legendary musicians, the NHL All-Star Game, and WrestleMania 2. Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum chronicles, for the first time ever, the history of a suburban arena that has often garnered the national spotlight.Binding Type: HardcoverAuthor: Nicholas HirshonPublisher: Arcadia Publishing Library EditionsPublished: 09/22/2010ISBN: 9781531648367Pages: 130Weight: 0.91lbsSize: 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d
