UBS Arena

UBS Arena rises from the edge of Belmont Park like a modern cathedral to New York sports and spectacle. Inside, the energy is electric—whether it’s the thunder of Monster Jam trucks, a sea of blue-and-orange for the Islanders, or families marveling at Disney on Ice. The concourses are wide and gleaming, with impressive attention to cleanliness and comfort. Restrooms—often the bane of stadium life—are vast and spotless, with family changing rooms that make life easier for everyone. Bars and lounges dot the upper levels, from the grand Tailgate Bar with its panoramic view to the breezy Heineken Terrace outside, where you can sip a drink overlooking the racetrack. Food options sprawl from classic hot dogs to a steak sandwich worth tracking down, though prices remind you this is New York. Locals treat it as a new home base for Long Island pride, while visitors find easy access via LIRR—if not always easy parking. It’s a gathering point for all stripes: die-hard fans, families, and concertgoers, all drawn together in a space that feels both monumental and welcoming.
