The Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum has been in the news quite a bit lately with rumors of major renovation and updates planned. The Coliseum stands proud as a focal point of live entertainment, concerts and sporting events for Nassau County, New York. The distinct building shape and design is a recognized landmark on Long Island. Set back, blending into the landscape with a stoic facade the venue hides the excitement that takes place within. Some say it may be time for a change, other say if it's not broken, don't fix it...
The Nassau Coliseum has accommodated virtually all forms of entertainment and sports, from state-of-the-art rock concerts, touring family shows, professional wrestling, boxing, track & field, lacrosse and soccer. It is also home to the New York Islanders, NHL team and the NY Dragons, arena football team.
The entertainment schedule remains unchanged. World class entertainment graces the stage and tickets still sell like hotcakes. Find the Fall/Winter Entertainment line-up below...
